Bombay's splendid harbour was the scene of the Country's first regatta in 1830 in which cutters, schooners, yawls of all sizes vied for the sweepstake of one Gold Mohur . The Bombay Yacht Club was founded in 1846.
One of the prizes in the regatta then was a 50-guinea silver cup, half the value of the famous America's Cup. All the yachts entered the race were lateen rigged.
