History
The Cowes Yacht Club formed in November 1957 by a group of motor boating enthusiasts. Families involved in picnics, fishing and water skiing with boats launched over the beach on removable board mats. Crown Land on a low lying area subject to flooding was obtained on a "permissive occupancy" arrangement from the Victorian Government Department of Lands, with the support of the Phillip Island Council. Members built up the yard area with general land fill and rubble, fencing off with Cyclone wire and providing gate access to the beach and Osbourne Avenue.
