Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron
From SpottingWorld, the Hub for the SpottingWorld network...
The Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron is a yacht club in Brisbane, Australia. It was founded in 1885, received royal charter in 1902, and added Royal to its title in 1961.[1] Its members have competed at the Olympic Games since 1956.[2] In 1970 the club made the news for preventing its female sailors from attending a function hosted by the club and attended by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.[3] In 2006, the club's registration with Yachting Queensland was controversially suspended for a short period after the club failed to forward affiliation fees to the state governing body.[4][5]
