Built just south of the new church in 1853 to the design of Fredrik Blom, the original purpose of the building was to train the Navy staff in the complicated handling of the canon sloops and dinghies, the former 20 metre in length and driven by 14 pairs of oars pulled by 54 men, and the latter half in size.
One of the eight Flying Junior dinghies in the Vanderbilt Sailing Club fleet was named for Isaac D. Seyburn, who was the great great great grandfather of a former Commodore of the Club; another was named Lew Chew.
He designed the rescue dinghies for most bomber aircraft used in the war, and studied the strength and behaviour of reinforcement fibres made of glass, carbon, boron and other materials.
There is also a strong emphasis on youth sailing in Optimist, P-Class and Starling dinghies.
