By the summer of 1928, the traditions of getting together at the Eastern Point Colony, in the shadow of the Morton Plant mansion, with all its grandeur, were ready to be stabilized. A yacht club – a friendly one incorporating local people as well as summertime visitors, could centralize the good fellowship of families who had long enjoyed summer on the water in the area. In addition, it could co-exist nicely with those whose interests leaned toward the landlubberly, but […]

The genesis of the Essex Yacht Club can be found in the Inaugural Eastern Frostbite Dinghy Regatta held on March 4 and 5, 1933 with racing off the old Steamboat Dock. Frostbiting had begun a year earlier on Manhasset Bay, Long Island, giving dinghy sailing a tremendous boost. When a neutral meeting ground was required for rival frostbite fleets, Walter Rowe organized a regatta at Essex. On March 4, 1933 a fleet of 23 Class A and B boats, assembled […]

Subsequently, Kohl, a developer went to the city of Brisbane and offered to develop the site in exchange for […]
