Fowey Gallants Sailing Club

Established in 1947 by Wilfrid Denaro, Fowey Gallants aimed to encourage youngsters of both sexes to sail. The early success was largely down to his Philanthropy. It proved very successful and many youngsters sailed with him on his yacht the Gallant. 

However, in the early 1970’s Denaro in advancing years left Fowey and along with other issues promted a rethink of the club was forced. So in September 1972 the Fowey Gallants Sailing Club was formed through a merger between the Fowey Gallants and Fowey Sailing Club.
