Formed in May 1863 on the shores at Robley’s Point, the first functions of the Port Cygnet Sailing Club were held in a tent with the first racing being in dinghies. The area around the foreshore at that time was overgrown with blackberries, gorse etc and had a rocky foreshore. Over the years many truck loads of sand have been dumped and spread along what is now a beach.
In the 1980s there was only a handful of boats anchored in the bay, now there are well over 100 registered moorings.
The club conducts races on most Sundays from early October until the end of April each year. Twilight racing commences on the first Tuesday in January and runs for 8 weeks with a very popular barbecue meal to follow. A Winter Race series is conducted fortnightly for 6 races from the end of May for the hardy.
