Bermuda International One Design Fleet
The Bermuda International One Design Fleet is the oldest actively raced sailing fleet in Bermuda, with a history of over 60 years of competitive world-class racing. The International One Design (IOD) is a graceful, classic design which was the first class to be recognized by the International Sailing Federation in the Classic Yacht category. The IOD design has its roots in a Six-Metre yacht named “Saga”, built in 1935 for Eldon and Kenneth Trimingham of Bermuda. The six metre design was modified to make the boat easier to handle as a one design class racer. The first five Bermuda IODs arrived in 1938. Since then, IOD fleets have been established internationally, and now actively race in Norway, Sweden, Scotland, the east and west coasts of the USA, and Bermuda.

The Bermuda Yacht Club was established on the 1st November, 1844 by a party of thirty gentlemen, consisting largely of officers in the British Army, most of them belonging to the 20th Regiment, then stationed here in Bermuda. There are now approximately 850 resident and non-resident members.
Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club
From its origin on Reid Street, the club moved to Church Street and in 1964 it acquired its present premises overlooking Hamilton Harbour.
In 1977 the Club became co-sponsors of a cruising race held on a biennial basis between Marion, Massachusetts and Bermuda. The arrangements between the Beverly Yacht Club, the Blue Waters Sailing Club and the Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club has proved to be a resounding success, the attraction of a cruising and family race encouraging a large number of enthusiastic participants.
In 1990 the Club carried out a major rehabilitation and remodeling to its premises so continuing its status as Bermuda’s premier maritime club.
