The Motor Boat Club of New South Wales was formed on 6 July 1905, by a group of Motorboat Owners at the Aaron’s Exchange Hotel in Sydney. The aim of the Club was to promote motor boating, including racing and social activities. In 1927 His Majesty King George V granted the Club the honour of Royal patronage, conferring the right of the Club to use the prefix “Royal”, the first time a Motorboat Club outside of the UK had been given this honour.
1927 saw the auspicious opening of the Royal Motor Yacht Club Newcastle Branch (renamed Toronto in 2000) Saturday 1st November at its present location at ‘Lake Holme’, the former residence of William Arnott and family (of Arnott’s biscuit fame).
The Club has been trading at its current location since its opening in 1927, except for a six year period during World War II when the Club was requested by the Royal Australian Air Force to serve as a recreation centre for its personnel stationed at the nearby Rathmines Catalina base.
At its inception the Club fostered cruiser and power boat racing and operated with a “very high degree of nautical ceremony and prestige, and on occasions, such as race days and other functions, uniform dress was mandatory”.
The Club today continues this tradition and on formal occasions it is not unusual to see senior members of the Club and Flag Officers in Naval Summer Whites or Mess Uniform.
