Club: History
"Russ Sweany, a local real estate broker, couldn't see a yacht club
happening in Port Orchard anytime soon. He cruised his boat ... to

and asked if he and his wife could become members there. They wanted to
belong to a club that had some moorage and the Bremerton club seemed to
have everything a boater could want. They had just recently been
established as a yacht club ..."
"They were denied! They went back home licking their wounds when a short
time later they got word from the Bremerton club with the reason they were
rejected: The BYC members had already decided to help the Port Orchard
yachtsmen form their own club. That’s about how it happened in 1956..."
