Boating at the Jamaica Yacht Club Kingston

Clipper 2014 in Port Antonio

The Jamaica Yacht Club was formed in 1884 by a group of enthusiastic sailors. On the 29th of November 1889, the Club was granted a Royal Charter by Queen Victoria following a visit by Prince Edward, then the Prince of Wales, who later became Edward VII. Until 1962, when Jamaica became an independent nation within the Commonwealth, the Commodores were all Governors of Jamaica, whether or not they were yachtsmen. In 1963 the Commodore was chosen for the first time from the membership of the Club.

To establish, maintain, and conduct a yacht club and marina for the accommodation of the members of the Club and their friends, and generally to afford to them all the usual privileges, advantages, and accommodation of a Club.

And She's Royal, Yeah So Royal
And, I Want Her In My Life.
I Never Knew Anyone So One-Of-A-Kind, No
The Way She Move To Her Own Beat
She Has The Qualites Of A Queen, She's A Queen
Ooo Ooo What A Natural Beauty
No Need No Make-Up To Be A Cutie

And When They Ask What A Good Woman's Made Of
