Since its inception the club has fostered cruiser and power boat racing and operated with a ?very high degree of nautical ceremony and prestige, and on occasions, such as race days and other functions, uniform dress was mandatory?(RMYC website). By 1912, Toronto was developing as a township, and it is no surprise that sailing and rowing were popular pastimes on this part of the Lake. The Toronto 16ft Sailing Club was formed in this year, it's first headquarters being Clouten's boatshed in Wharf Street. Meetings were held at the Great Northern Hotel and Toronto Hotel, and many on water events and outings were organised.
