A sail-past had been organised to mark the occasion 150 years ago when the club was granted the Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria. Hundreds of people watched from the shore.
Among the spectators was the Lieutenant-Governor, General Sir John McColl. The Bailiff, Sir Michael Birt, was taking part on board his boat.
The boats, which came from all three Jersey sailing clubs – St Catherine’s, St Helier and the Royal Channel Islands Yacht Club – included everything from small and large motor boats and the St Helier Lifeboat to sailing boats and even a few rowers.
