"The Karachi Yacht Club,
originally known as the Karachi Sailing Club, was founded in 1911. The prime
mover in the formation of the club was the late Mr. Punnett of the Customs
Service, the club’s first Commodore. . . . At Partition in August 1947, the Club
experienced a minor crisis on the departure of the Hindu staff and many of its
Service and I.C.S. members. . . . In September 1978 the club organized a very
successful 7th Southern Asian Yachting Regatta in Karachi in which teams from
India, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai and Pakistan took part. This was
the first international Yachting Regatta in Pakistan and became instrumental in
promoting Yachting as a sport in the country."
