The
Pointe
Claire Boating Club was founded
in 1879, joining CCA in 1910. Their first placing at the
CCA Championships was at Toronto in 1912 and the club
hosted the Eastern Division Regatta the following year.
They severed links with canoeing in 1915 to focus on sailing,
becoming the Pointe
Claire Yacht Club in 1924. The original
structure still exists within the new building. During
the early years, some members who wanted more sailing
activities, splintered to form the Corinthian
Sailing Club. This splinter merged back with
the PCBC when the original club decided to move towards
sailing. There was also a Pointe Claire chapter of the
Montreal Boating Club
which held meetings at the PCBC but the links between
organisations are as yet unknown. |
