Our Story
The rich history of St. Margaret Sailing Club
During the winter of 1956, Dr. Arthur Murray met with a group of friends and neighbours to discuss their desire to restore tranquillity to St. Margaret’s Bay where they enjoyed their summers. They chose to introduce sailing to the Bay in an effort to reduce the noise of outboard motors as youngsters raced each other throughout the Bay.
