Sailing became a very popular holiday activity around Port Phillip Bay in the early 1960s. Clubs were already established at McCrae and Mt Martha, but at Safety Beach the informal off-the-beach races held there became regularly organised only after a group of enthusiasts met during the Australia Day long weekend 30th January1967. A steering committee of six members was elected from seventeen interested people at that time, and by February 1967 a public meeting on the beachfront attracted approximately fifty people who paid one dollar each (fifty cents for children) to adopt the first Safety Beach Sailing Club constitution, based on a model document kindly provided by Mt Martha Yacht Club.
