The Olympic Association of the Bahamas was formed on 8th May
1952. The impetus for its creation grew from the Bahamian excitement of
having two local yachtsmen, Durward Knowles and Sloan Farrington, who
had proved themselves as leading Star Class yachtsmen of their day by
placing third in the Star Class World's Championships in Havana in 1946,
winning the Star Class Spring Championships in the Bahamas in 1947 and
medaling at the World's Championship in California the same year.
