History

The Association was incorporated on October 28, 1954, by John J. Hopkins, Richard C. Bartlett, and Robert F. Podlich who wanted to establish a sailing club on Round Bay, Severna Park. But due to local zoning laws such an establishment was prohibited, so the search was extended all over the Severn River. Finally, three cottages on the water at the end of First Street in Eastport were bought and in 1958, a dock was constructed and the boats of the five initial centerboard fleets (Penguins, Comets, National One-Designs, Severn One-Designs and International 14's) were launched.
