Sailfish Club of Florida

Private fishing and boating club in Palm Beach (Florida), on the north end of the island on Lake Worth. According to its official website, it was founded on 28 February 1914 with John D. Crimmins as first president; it met at the Breakers Casino until January 1932, when members had their own clubhouse and dock built. The site describes its purpose as bringing together people with a shared interest in fishing and boating, and lists swimming, sailing, fishing and boating among its activities. It runs the Gold Cup, a team sport-fishing tournament (sailfish caught and released), created in 1972 by John Rybovich. A hybrid structure (fishing and boating club with clubhouse, pool and dining) rather than a sailing club organising regattas.
