Selby Bay Yacht Club
A Proud History of our Club on the Bay

Founded by a small group of boating families in 1947, Selby Bay Yacht Club is rich in history. Following is an historical account, written by member Flora Atkin in 1980, recalling the early days of the club. Flora's original piece was continued through the late 90's by Toby and Jean Konigsberg, in 'Part 2'. Many thanks to Flora for taking the time and effort to create this lasting narrative, and to Toby and Jean for continuing this great story.
