ST. AUGUSTINE YACHT CLUB, INC.
ST. AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA

Soon after the turn of the century, the sport of yacht racing was diminished by the advent of steam yachts. The boom years of the 1920's saw a renewed interest in yachting and racing sailboats with a new club planned on Davis Shores. The crash of the stock market in 1929, however, began a slow decline in participation and membership, ending with the club's decommissioning in 1939. Thirty nine years later, the building of a new marina brought St. Augustine yachtsmen together once again. As in earlier times a club was formed. This resulted in interest and a successful effort to activate the old charter of the club. In the Spring of 1978, the St. Augustine Yacht Club was recommissioned. It began with 100 newly chartered members and held its first race, "The Race of the Century". The clubhouse at Camachee Cove Yacht Basin was built in 1979 and the swimming pool added in 1982.
