Sunday, March 7th at 2pmA Short History of the Coconut Grove Sailing Club |  |
|
|
In December of 1945 a meeting was held at Dr. Paul Robertson's home on Saint Gaudens Drive in Coconut Grove. About 30 people (men, women and boys) gathered to form a youth membership club to promote sailing, racing and water safety.
|
The club was titled the "Coconut Grove Sailing Club."
|
| The first Rear Commodore was a teenager who became a dentist and is still a lifetime member -- Dr. Don Smith. Women and teenagers were permitted to be full members, which was unusual at that time. |
| The first race was held December 23, 1945. |
|
|
|
The members met at various homes and then were allowed to have their meetings at the Coconut Grove Elementary school on Grand Ave.
