BRIEF HISTORY OF PYC

Home Page

Records show that competitive sailing existed on Milford Haven Waterway more than two hundred years ago but it was in 1923 that the first sailing club was formed. The early meetings of the Pembrokeshire Yacht club were held at The Great Western Hotel, Neyland but the club soon moved to The Kings Arms, Hakin Point, Milford Haven and remained there until the aquisition of six derelict cottages at Gelliswick Bay in the 1950s. Through members enthusiasm and efforts the cottages were restored and converted into what became the basis of today's club house and facilities.
