ABOUT THE CLUB
At that time it was a very active sailing and boating club, but it went into decline and was dormant for a several years.
A number of like minded boaties, from the now Herald Island, sailing an assortment of keel yachts, together with a number of motor boat skippers, regenerated the Club with socialising, family fun, and competition being the main aims.
As interest grew the members, with blood sweat and tears, built a small boat jetty complex next to the original Herald Island wharf with a proposed club room to be built on the wharf proper.
Unfortunately the original adjoining wharf was burnt down, the destruction being total. The club set aside the building of a club room to underwrite the reconstruction of the destroyed wharf using club members as labour.
On completion the new wharf was handed over to the Herald Island residents and a community trust was formed.
