Further resolutions were adopted registering the names of the original members, a resolution that all gentlemen wishing to become members from that date (3rd March) should be balloted for. Another resolution elected Office Bearers etc.The First Commodore was Sir Robert Oliver. I am afraid we have no detailed history of this period of the Club. We do, however know that the CLub on the original site (now occupied by the Offices of the Atomic Energy Commision) was first built in 1880 and has been added to from time to time. The Ball Room & The Bar was as late as in 1914. In its early days the Club activities appear to have been solely devoted to Sailing, and the Social aspects of the Club life appear to have grown up later. In 1876, the Club became the Royal Bombay Yacht Club with permission of HER MAJESTY QUEEN VICTORIA, and in 1880 permission was given by the Lords of the Admiralty to fly over the Club building, the Blue Ensign, with the distinctive marks of the Club on the fly thereof. In the following year, a similar concession was granted to yachts registered with the Club.

To celebrate the Centenary of the founding of the Club, arrangements had been made for a Grand Dinner to be held on 6th March 1946 and HIS EXCELLENCY the Governor of Bombay had accepted an invitation to attend. Owing to the food position and the general desire that consideration involving consumption of food should be given up for the present, the then Committee of the Club decided to postpone the celebrations to a later date and expressed the hope that these would be held in due course, when things were more settled and the food outlook was better.

In Novemeber 1947, the fifty years lease with the Bombay Port Trust in respect of the grounds on Wellington Reclamation having expired, the Club moved to the Chambers, the ground and first floors of which were suitably converted into a Club House at an approximate cost of Rs. 5.0 lacs.

At a Half-yearly General Meeting of the Members of the Club held at the Club House on Thursday, the 14th of March 1946, the then President of the Club C.F.Morris Esq.,O.B.E., who was in the chair made the under noted interesting comments.:

"Gentlemen, I have recently read in a home paper that the year 1946 has been a vintage year. It has been a year whose claret, so to speak, has been as good as its champagne. As one centenary after another falls due for celebrations in 1946, we shall constantly be reminded of the intellectual vigour of the men and women of 100 years ago, of their combination of moral and physical energy and of the singular diversity of their achievements. This, I think, is a tribute which might aptly be applied to those who first met and founded this club on the 3rd of March in1846."
