History

Lewes Yacht Club was founded in 1932. The idea for a “sailing association” was proposed to Marjorie Virden by George Davisson. Major George Edwards Davisson originated the idea of a sailing club, and together with 16 other full time and part time Lewes residents, they formed the Lewes Yacht Club.

The town of Lewes donated some little-used water front property which developed into the Lewes Yacht Club. The first clubhouse was built with donated materials at a cost of $5000. It was a lonely little building secluded near the inlet. The clubhouse today is a modern two-story building with a restaurant, marina, sailing rental hut, and pool.
