Olympic Games
It is surprising that the Club did not have any direct participation in the Olympics until 1952. Perhaps this is because the Club did not have an Olympic class boat until then. The Club had been invited by the Canadian Yachting Association (CYA) to participate in the trials for the 1932 Games in Los Angeles, but the Club did not have any of these classes in its fleet: Monotype, Star, 6 meters and 8 meters. It was not until the return of the Games after World War II that sailors from the Royal Saint Laurence Yacht Club got ready for the Olympic competitions.
