In 1946 a group of sailors were gathered on the weir beach at the entrance to Restronguet Creek. The beach & the cottage behind had been offered as a Club Base and it was decided that the offer be accepted. After a break due to World War II when everything closed down, Restronguet Sailing Club came back into existence.

The Annual Subscription was to be ten shillings (50p to you & me). What an offer. You would be invited to bring a cake & a cup of tea would be available after club racing. The free cup of tea is a tradition which continues to the present day.

Recovery was slow for everyone. The cottage at Weir was in a poor shape. The upstairs room which had been the ladies changing room had some rotten floor boards, and the well on Weir Hill which provided water for the club was difficult to operate. Wood was scarce and very few boats were available. But by the 1950s thing had started to improve. Tumlaren were beginning to appear & the Redwing dinghy was making a colourful appearance. Small cruisers and day boats were beginning to join in the Saturday racing. Flying Fifteens, Fireflys & Enterprises soon followed. By the end of the 1950s it was becoming very obvious that we were running out of space and it was time to look around the Carrick Roads for a new base.

One attempt at building a ramp on the Greatwood shore was not a success. Then came the offer of a plot of land and foreshore at Mylor Churchtown. It was the perfect spot. There was now a plot of land and beach, but no clubhouse. R.S.C. members got to work and by 1962 there was a clubhouse & slipway, a starting line and moorings on the water – and racing could start. Restronguet Sailing Club had arrived at Mylor.
