The centenary is being celebrated this coming weekend on Friday, June 9, Saturday, June 10 and Sunday, June 11. There is a busy programme of activities for members of all ages.
The formal part of the weekend will start on Friday evening with a reception for distinguished guests including the Mayor of Weymouth and the founder’s grandson, Anthony Hownam-Meek.
Saturday will be a fun day for all the family with match racing, a cadet challenge, games on the beach and on the water, a treasure hunt, a tug of war and in the evening barn dance.
On Sunday morning there will be a centenary race followed by a sail past Portland Harbour to which all local sailors are invited.
It is hoped that the harbour will be filled with boats of all sizes that will sail past Club Commodore Andy Adler, on board the club committee boat and MV Freedom with past commodores on board.
The weekend will conclude with a cream tea, prizegiving, centenary cake and a toast to another 100 years of sailing.
The club has been raising money for some time to make the occasion, with several local businesses including Damory and Boatfolk contributing.
The club participates in both racing and cruising, in dinghies and keelboats.
