The White Rose Sailing Association (WRSA) was formed in March 1957 by a small group of enthusiasts who agreed to form a sailing association to look after the interests of members until the time was appropriate to form a club. The first subscription was fixed at 50 shillings (£2.50) and WRSA has continued to keep the cost of membership to a minimum ever since. Early in 1958 WRSA moved to its present site at Givendale on the river Ure to the southeast of Ripon. Although WRSA has operated as a Ripon sailing club ever since, it has never been deemed necessary to change the name from an association to a club.
In 1964 WRSA was the first club to adopt the Mirror class dinghy and became the number 1 Mirror Fleet.
