[1] The Manila Yacht Club (MYC) was established on January 20, 1927, with its first by-laws signed by five yachtsmen: James C. Rockwell, Joseph A. Thomas, Aubrey P. Ames, Stewart E. Tait, and A.S.

[2] Operations of the club ceased following the outbreak of World War II when the Japanese began invading the islands in December 1941.

In 1947, the MYC was able to secure its property back and also began admitting female members.

It landed in Manila Bay at the site presently occupied by the yacht club.

[6] MYC members are part of the 101st Squadron Philippine Coast Guard auxiliary.
