The book is the first of a pair that will record the 50 year history of the Club, an anniversary to be celebrated on 14 September 2009. This initial book refers to sailing activities on Lake George in the 1950s, before the establishment of the Canberra Yacht Club in September 1959, and after its formation first at Lake George then on Lake Burley Griffin from 1964. It records the many significant events that occurred and the personalities involved in the first decade of the Yacht Club. For more information please call the office on 6273 7177.
