Book Description
Excerpt from The Royal Yacht Squadron: Memorials of Its Members, With an Enquiry Into the History of Yachting and Its Development in the Solent; And a Complete List of Members With Their Yachts From the Foundation of the Club to the Present Time From the Official Records Yachting therefore presents no singularity among modern sports in its lack of a venerable history. Its popularity as a diversion of Englishmen grew from quite modest beginnings in the second half of the eighteenth century, and among men of moderate means who, in their day, in no way represented the wealthy classes who are its chief supporters in our own. As we shall see, its first practice in England, at least, was confined to fresh water, or at most to the estuary of the Thames. Salt-water sailing was a development of the sport which waited for its vogue until the beginning of the period which we have named as that Of sporting England. Its growth to its present position in the sporting life of the country is very closely identified with the history of the Royal Yacht Squadron, a history which we propose to make a prominent part of our undertaking.
