Canberra Yacht Club's Lake George Rise to Sailing Prominence
Canberra Yacht Club grew from a waterless start into a thriving sailing center on a newly created lake. By 1962 the club had 206 members, moved into a new clubhouse near Commonwealth Avenue Bridge, and planned a lakeside home at Lotux Bay as plans accelerated to mark Canberra Day regatta. The effort included restoring a damaged heatshed, funding drives, and inaugurating water access as the lake’s development continued.
