The Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club was founded in 1882. The following year H.R.H. Princess Louise visited Bermuda and while here, granted the Club it's Royal Charter.  Over the years, the "Royal" designation was dropped, but after application to H.M. Queen Elizabeth II it was decided to reapply and confirmation was received in 1953. The R.H.A.D.C. remains the only "Royal" Dinghy Club in the world. The original flag remains on the club premises and is displayed proudly.
