Admin/Biographical History |
The Winchester Boat Club, formed in 1900, built its clubhouse in 1901 on the banks of the Mystic Lake. Over the years, it was enlarged, repaired after hurricane and fire, and in the 1960s was provided with a swimming pool. The Boat Club carried on with canoeing, both paddling and sailing, and established two challenge cups (now retired). In the 1930s, sailboats of various types began sailing on the lake and continue to be seen there. |
