6 months later the same merchants wagered on a race between their best sailors sailing the same small boats. From there the merchants offered to revitalize the "Royal Sailing Society", Imperator '''NAME''' had no interest in yachting and sold them the assets of the club. The Society was renamed as the Yachting Club of Venceia in [[1818]] as a private members club, the first of its kind. The upper crust of Venceia who were of the maritime bent, joined in droves. An industry of private pleasure yachts was once again built around these men. In [[1823]], the Yachting Club of Parita opened its doors on the same model. By the end of the 19th century there were also yacht clubs in Castra Osanavio, Sabon, Baco, Castra Jansoro, and Pasiche. These 7 clubs are the oldest and most prestigious clubs in [[Caphiria]], they are collectively referred to as the ''Septegentes'', or the 7 families (from whom all other yacht clubs descended).

===Interwar period and the Second Great War===

After the [[First Great War]], many returning sailors were looking to maintain their sailing skills, this led to a boom in small sailing clubs all across [[Caphiria]]. Some of these clubs have risen to yacht club status throughout the 20th century. These sailors also looked to teach these skills to others and many yacht clubs and sailing clubs began to offer classes as lessons. Most of the ''Septegentes'' did not adopt this trend with the exception of Baco, which established a sailing school. By the outbreak of the [[Second Great War]], there were 85 registered yacht clubs across [[Caphiria]]. In the lead up to the war and in its initial years many yacht clubs served as both recruitment and training centers for young officer candidates. Sailing was a requirement for all [[Imperial Naval Fleet]] officers until [[1984]].

===Modern Naviculatio===

In the aftermath of the [[Second Great War]] a number of things came together elevate Naviculatio to its current status. Firstly, maritime gas combustion engines became widely available to the consumer market allowed for the construction of private motor yachts. Secondly, many veteran officers of the [[Imperial Naval Fleet]] returned home and wanted to keep sailing. Thirdly, many of the returning enlisted sailors were able to leverage their veterans benefits to elevate their standing in society and join the middle or upper middle class, which allowed them to buy into the "yachting class". And finally, many shipyards who had been building ships for the war were more than happy to retool their manufacturing to mass produce modest motor yachts to meet the new market demand.
