Peter Burgess COMMENTARY
I was amusing myself learning a little about the British story and specifically about the East India Company and then the East India Club in London using Wikipedia when I came across this:
Yachting
The club's yacht squadron takes part in a variety of sailing events and has also initiated an inter-club regatta in honour of Colonel Newman VC – a day of sailing races from Seaview, Isle of Wight, in mermaid class boats.
