In 1975, a small group of sailing enthusiasts whose boats were moored at Schooner Cove formed a loose association to race informally and to cruise together.

The founding members of SCUM were a mixed lot, some living locally or in Port Alberni. Many of the initial members are still in the Club today. Inevitably the […]

Our history reaches back into the maritime traditions of an earlier century.

From its beginnings in 1969 as a racing dinghy association, the Club has grown to embrace a range of boating activities, with a continued emphasis on […]
