PictureBill Buckle and Bob Oatley at BSC 2015.
On the 24th July 1945 Balmoral 12ft Sailing Club, later to become Balmoral Sailing Club (BSC), was formed.

​Foundation member, Bob Oatley AO -  “As teenagers, my great friend Bill Buckle and I joined
Middle Harbour 16ft Skiff Club but it was pretty obvious that they didn’t want to encourage our division so a few of us got together to consider our options; the upshot being that we decided to start our own club.”

“The first major thing we had to do was to acquire the beachfront land for the clubhouse. The parents of several of the founding members then helped us lay a large concrete slab and, in 1947, we erected the first clubhouse – a second-hand Nissen Hut that we bought from Army Disposals for 92 pounds.”

​The hut was finally demolished in 1975 and replaced by the current clubhouse.

The official 70th Celebrations were held at the Club on Sunday 18th October 2015. BSC would like to make contact with anyone who has been involved with the Club, in any way since 1945, we’d love you to contact us and share your memories of your time at the Club.
