History

When Salcombe Yacht Club celebrated its Centenary in 1995, local historian Sonia Parkinson dipped into the clubs records and history to produce the historical story of the Club which was distributed to the membership. Now 13 years on, Nick Walker has delved into his archives and produced an electronic copy for all to enjoy!

The story of Salcombe Yacht Club makes fasinating reading for anyone interested in sailing on the Salcombe Estuary and how sailing has evolved over the years.

Since writing the history Sonia and her husband Brian have been elected as Honorary Members of the Salcombe Yacht Club
