The Windsor Yacht is celebrating its 80th anniversary.
Commodore Dan Caster says a celebration is planned for later this evening to mark the occasion.
"80 years ago this week, the Windsor Yacht Club was formed and it was formed by an individual group of 35 different boaters. They had no club house, they basically had a very old harbour and nothing more so they formed a club. They built buildings and today we have the wonderful facility that we have, 80 years later," says Caster.
The Windsor Yacht Club is a membership club.

Its first major expansion happened in 1945 where a kitchen and dining facilities were added.
In 2001, the entire club was re-constructed and in 2016 the club spent $850,000 on renovations and upgrades.
The club is located at 9000 Riverside Drive East.
Tonight's celebration begins at 7pm.
