Townsville Yacht Club
The Townsville Yacht Club (Townsville Motor Boat & Yacht Club Limited) has come to it’s present entity by a circuitous route.
The Club has it’s genesis in the 1950’s in a now demolished shop beside the Metropole Hotel in Palmer Street as a dinghy and fixed keel sailing club. Members’ boats were moored on swing moorings in Ross Creek in front of the Metropole; the rails which served a careening ramp are still there.
In 1979 the Club amalgamated with six, water sport oriented, Clubs and moved to premises on the Strand. In 1984 the new entity went into liquidation and the sailing fraternity were without a home. The Townsville Motor Boat Club had a lease of the land where the Club is presently situated at the edge of the CBD in Plume Street and used pole moorings in front of the site; the TMBC took pity on the sailors and invited them to join with them and from this meeting was formed the Townsville Motor Boat & Yacht Club Limited.

Dinghy Sailing - One Of the Oldest Townsville Sports
The Townsville Sailing Club is one of the oldest clubs in Townsville and one of the oldest sailing clubs in Queensland. The Club’s present location on The Strand is the latest in a long line of dinghy sailing venues going back over a century.
The first settlers in Townsville established the town in 1864 yet as soon as 1895 there was sufficient interest to establish the Townsville Sailing Club.
The Brisbane Courier newspaper on 22nd October 1895 reported, “October 21. At a meeting held at Picnic Bay yesterday at which there was a large attendance, it was decided to form a sailing club to be called the “Townsville Sailing Club.” A letter was read from the Queensland Yacht Club” (now the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron), “inviting as many Townsville boats as might be desirous of competing in any of the events at the senior club’s regatta.”
In the 120 years of history of the Townsville Sailing Club since that meeting, dinghy sailing has gone through a century of changes to design, construction and speed to the to the high speed skiffs and catamarans we have today. One can only imagine what the “gentlemen” in Picnic Bay in 1895 would make of these modern designs and materials as they rocket across Cleveland Bay. Many of these features are a direct development from the recent America’s Cup which competition coincidently commenced about the same time as Townsville was being founded.
Also in that history, the Townsville Sailing Club has had more than its fair share of Australian and world champions. From humble beginnings learning to sail in the Club’s junior fleet, many have gone on career paths that have led them to sail not just in professional competition but also in careers as coaches of national sailing teams in other countries.
Many have graduated from the Australian Maritime College in Launceston and gone on to international careers in the merchant and Australian Navies.
