In the year of 1950, a small band of enthusiasts under the guiding arm of the late Joseph T. O Byrne (fondly remembered by all as J.T.), gathered in the Bridge Hotel (birthplace of Capt. Robert Halpin, master of the “Great Eastern” steam-ship that laid the first Transatlantic cable in the late 1860’s) to put the wheels in motion to start a new club in Wicklow, dedicated to Yachting, and in 1951, Wicklow Sailing Club was born.
