Originally named the Toronto Boat Club, the RCYC was founded in 1852 in the British tradition of a recreational yachting club that operates as an auxiliary to the navy. With Queen Victoria's permission it was renamed the Royal Canadian Yacht Club in 1854.
The RCYC first moved to the island in 1881 after occupying various locations on the Toronto waterfront. The first island clubhouse was destroyed by fire in 1904. Its successor officially opened in 1906 and suffered the same fate in 1918. On August 25, 1919 Edward, Prince of Wales, laid the corner stone for the gracious two-story Southern-style clubhouse that has been the RCYC's summer home ever since.
The objects of the RCYC are to:–Encourage members to become proficient in the personal management, maintenance, control and handling of their yachts, in navigation, and in all matters pertaining to seamanship–Promote yacht architecture, building and sailing in Canadian waters–Promote excellence in competitive sailing–Promote such other sports and social activities as may be desirable in the interest of Members generally
