L.I. Yacht Club’s new owners wind down a successful summer in Babylon

long island yacht club history

The new owners of the  Long Island Yacht Club have just wrapped up a Labor Day weekend that featured live music Friday night, dinner and dancing Saturday and a pig roast and kids’ carnival on Sunday. Labor Day brunch followed.

The marina is now filled to capacity, with 11 on the waiting list.

It’s a far cry from when the historic Yacht Club reopened for the first time under new ownership for Memorial Day of 2016, just days after Rick Stettner and business partner Ned Hurley acquired the club on May 17.

In the run-up to that weekend, the big priority was the food. That, and making sure the lawn was cut at 307 Little East Neck Road South.

“The first thing we did was hire a chef and then the chef didn’t show up for Memorial Day, so we had to cook,” Hurley said. “We had a big barbecue, 200 people showed up and Rick and myself had to grill.”

“All while Eric was mowing the lawn,” added Stettner, speaking of his son Eric Stettner, now the Yacht Club’s general manager.

The Long Island Yacht Club was founded in 1958 and counts former longtime Babylon Village resident Captain Kangaroo (Bob Keeshan) among its charter members. Before that, the mansion, which reportedly dates to 1911, served as a private residence.

Stettner and Hurley acquired the nearly seven-acre property and its mansion, which had shut down in December 2015, from the nonprofit club for about $2 million.

One of the first things the new owners did — aside from trimming the grass — was blow up the old model of what it means to belong to a yacht club.

p class=”p1″> “You don’t need a yacht to join,” said Eric Stettner, a 2016 University of Connecticut graduate. “We have about 80 members without boats.”

“But if you want to sail you have access to sailing,” added Hurley.

They also scrapped the $10,000 annual membership in favor of $1,500, and only operate the club full time between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Members get access to the club, pool, tennis courts, sailing, swimming and tennis programs and daily camp activities for kids , as well as steep discounts on docking rights.

“It’s not about how much money you make; it’s about friendship,” said Hurley. “ As you get older, sometimes it can be hard to make friends. This is another outlet for people and families to meet other people and hang out without breaking the bank.”

Unlike most yacht clubs, there are no minimums on what people have to spend on drinks or dining, either.

“We do not enforce food or beverage minimums, which is out of the club tradition,” said Rick Stettner. “We wanted to build this on our reputation, and that’s why we have the great chef [Noah Weber] that we have here.”

In its first summer, in 2016, the club finished the season with 62 members. Now there’s 142 members.  The goal is to get 300 members signed up, then start up the waiting list. (A household constitutes a member.) There are no residency restrictions.

On the offseason, the club will be available for weddings and other private parties for non-members. And they will be hosting their own events. Some events will be opened to the public and serve as membership drives.

The first such event will be an Oktoberfest party this fall.

“We have the most beautiful wedding venue; seven acres right on the the Great South Bay,” said Hurley. “We can seat 150 people inside and another 400 outside.”

Stettner, who lives in Oakdale, and Hurley, of New York City, have owned and operated Maple Avenue Marina together for some 17 years in Bay Shore.

When they learned of the Yacht Club’s financial troubles in 2015, they jumped.

“We read in Newsday they were having financial problems and called” Commodore Steve Vid, said Hurley.

But Vid told them to get to the back of the list of 40 others who were interested in buying the club and bulldozing it for waterfront townhouses.

“Then I said we’re not interested in that,” said Hurley. “We wanted to keep the club operating.”

Suddenly they were No. 1 on the list; the club’s leaders wanted it to keep operating as a yacht club.

Babylon Village Mayor Ralph Scordino also feared the property would fall to developers.

“My biggest concern was the idea of losing this amenity that we have in the village for development, for housing,” he said. “I was hoping that someone would take it over” and revitalize the facility with the idea of attracting younger families.

“And that’s what these people did and they have done a great job,” he said. “It  just has that different atmosphere. You can go down there and have a cocktail, then have a great dinner and with that scenic view overlooking the Great South Bay it’s just a great place to be.”

A tentative deal between the club and Stettner and Hurley reached in the fall but it took those next months to finalize and organize a vote of the board for approval.

Then the renovations began. The main building’s ballroom and bar and lounge areas have been completely redone, along with all-new HVAC systems. The property has been cleaned up outside. the sailing program was resurrected, as well as all the kids’ programs.

The club now has a swim team, sailing team and tennis team. They even  hosted a successful regatta this summer.

“We recognized early on that this was a tremendous asset to the community, as opposed to it going to development,” said Rick Stettner. “With over 30 years combined in the recreational marina business, we knew it would have been a sin to let this property go to 16 or 18 individuals.

“We wanted it to be accessible to 300, 400 people with access to the Great South Bay and all that comes with it.”

Established 1891, Incorporated 1892. Manhasset Bay Yacht Club boasts an impressive history.

During the winter of 1888-89, William G. Newman and George A. Corry, gathered around them a score of yachtsman for the purpose of organizing an informal sailing club from which later sprung the Douglaston Yacht Club. The lack of a permanent Clubhouse, the gradual silting of Little Neck Bay and the mining of Long Island Sound during the Spanish American War caused the members to seek a better location further eastward in Port Washington. On June 3, 1899 the Club's name was officially changed to Manhasset Bay Yacht Club.

In 1902 a permanent Clubhouse was erected which stood until 1929 when the present one was built. The Junior Clubhouse was commissioned in June 1984. It is the home of the Manhasset Bay Junior Yacht Club as well as the focal point of sailing and other activities. Manhasset Bay Yacht Club celebrated its 100th anniversary during the 1991 season, and continues to this day to be a major contributor to the sport of Yachting and Club life on the Long Island Sound.

Around Long Island Regatta: What it's like to compete in LI's premier sailing race

long island yacht club history

Against a backdrop of the usual bustling ferries and commercial traffic on New York Harbor, 71 sailboats circled near the Statue of Liberty, awaiting the start of Long Island’s premier sailing race. 

At noon on a Thursday in late July, a series of warning horns, radio announcements and a trumpeted fanfare emanated from a two-story anchored barge, along with the dropping of a flag. Then, the first group of vessels, driven by the wind, headed for the starting line, aiming to cross exactly at 12:05 p.m.

The Sea Cliff Yacht Club’s 46th Around Long Island Regatta was underway.

The regatta, which attracts serious racers and casual sailors alike, began in 1977 with 88 sailing yachts. Since then, it has developed a passionate following, despite the rigors of the race. 

The race is at least 207 miles long, starting east along the South Shore  to Montauk and then west along the North Shore to Hempstead Harbor. But tacking against headwinds or maneuvering to take advantage of stronger breezes usually adds dozens of miles. While some boats finish in under a day, a few straggle in almost three days later. And, as is always the case, some will drop out because of mechanical failure or too much or not enough wind.

“It's a mental and physical and equipment challenge,” said John Stephenson, 64, of New Paltz, who said he has competed in the regatta since 2006. “It’s a nonstop race, so the crew is active for anywhere from 36 to 60 hours with the mental challenges of driving through storms, sailing at night, being overtired, hallucinating, trying to make good decisions. We’ve had all kinds of weather, everything from storms to fog, not enough wind, too much wind, too much heat, not enough heat.”

This year, the race was held from July 27-30. A total of 71 boats competed in nine divisions grouped by size, hull type, sail configuration and boat speed. The boats generally must be at least 24 feet long, and there is no upper limit. The biggest boat this year was Kodiak, a 66-foot-long vessel from the U.S. Naval Academy.

The regatta requires a lot of work by a lot of volunteers to pull off.

“This is about a 10-month-long process,” said Shana Spanier-Ciniski, 58, of Glen Cove, who has co-chaired the race for two years. Her committee is comprised of 20 club members, including her son William Ciniski.

One club member found himself unexpectedly on the race committee this year. Harvey Bass, 76, of Sea Cliff, who said he has competed about 15 times and planned to do so again, but a fuel tank problem delayed launching his boat.

Bass, who created the Ranger Sailing Foundation in 2015 to sponsor children who can’t afford to participate in the yacht club’s junior sail training program, said he has sailed in the race about five times since 2007, with recipients of his scholarships serving as crew.

The first year, he said, “They ran the boat the whole race, and we got a second place.”

It hasn’t always gone so smoothly.

“We had a horrible experience in the 2009 race because the seas were huge,” Bass said. “I think only 11 boats finished the race.”

The crew’s parents had supplied food for the boat, including lasagna, which Bass said the kids started eating as they headed down the East River toward the race start. With the rough surf, well … it didn’t end well.

“We wound up turning back,” he said.

This year’s race was thankfully less eventful, though it still had its share of difficulties.

As a 15-mph breeze blew up through the Narrows — the strait between Staten Island and Brooklyn — on the first day, boats from as far as Annapolis, Maryland, headed for the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and then for a buoy off the entrance to New York Harbor, where they could turn east and take full advantage of the southwest wind. They had a long, straight shot to Montauk and then up around the North Fork and down the Long Island Sound, where the winds are often light and unpredictable, to the finish in Hempstead Harbor off the Sea Cliff Yacht Club.

“The exit from New York Harbor was a real nice ride,” said Stephenson, who is chasing the record set by the late South Shore sailor Rudi Harbauer for sailing in the most consecutive regattas. Harbauer competed in the first 25 races.

Stephenson’s first three times in the regatta, from 2006 through 2008, he crewed for another yacht club member. The support engineer for IBM has since helmed his own boat, A Boy’s Dream, a 28-foot Laser 28 that he keeps in Kingston, New York. It is one of the smallest boats in the races.

“We actually made the trip when they canceled the race in 2020 during COVID just because we didn't want to break our streak,” he said. “So we went around the Island that year anyway.”

Out on the ocean this year, Stephenson said, “The wind kept building so we had to switch sails a few times.”

By the second morning, the boat was off Shinnecock Inlet. “We saw some whales. I saw sharks and dolphins.”

That night, he said, “We had lightning and a squall.”

On the Sound, he said, “The wind was pretty light Saturday morning until around noon, and we finally picked up a real nice breeze.”

Stephenson finished in 52 hours and 49 minutes for fifth place in his division.

Josh Reisberg, 42, a lawyer from Sea Cliff and member of the yacht club, planned to take his 40-foot J-120 named Abilyn on the race double-handed — aka, with two sailors — with fellow yacht club member Mark DiSanti, but the boat was struck by lightning and damaged before the race. So he competed in his third regatta on another boat, a 34-foot Figaro 3 named Celeritas, with skipper Vlad Shablinsky and two others, including 17-year-old Sea Cliff Yacht Club junior sailor Annika Kaelin. None of them had sailed together before the race.

Along the South Shore, Reisberg said, “We hit average speeds of 16 knots while surfing. Waves were breaking over the boat. It was glorious!”

But then, he said, “The leg back home in the Sound was a test of patience. We had just enough wind to ghost over the finish just past midnight.”

The race took them 35 hours and 25 minutes for a fourth-place finish in their division.

Iris Vogel, 66, of New Rochelle, meanwhile, competed for the first time with a crew of six junior sailors ages 15 to 17 from the Huguenot Yacht Club. They sailed on a 30-foot J-112 named The ROCC, in honor of a deceased friend, Rocco Campanelli.

“The juniors handled the rough weather very well, this being their first time offshore,” she said.

The ROCC’s elapsed time was 39 hours and 16 minutes, for seventh in its division.

Brad Dickson, of Glen Cove, a former regatta co-chair, competed in the race as a first-time skipper after four competitions as a crew member. The manager of the Nassau County Public Works Department’s vehicle fleet sailed with a crew of relatives on Rhapsody, a 46½-foot Sabre that he and his wife bought last year.

“We had a great start,” said Dickson, 54. “Once under the bridge, the boat got into a great groove and handled the large seas amazingly well.” They continued to make progress — until the wind died for more than six hours off Northport.

Dickson placed second in his division with an elapsed time of 44 hours and 51 minutes.

Madelyn Ploch, a first-class midshipman, or senior, at the U.S. Naval Academy, was not so lucky.

Ploch was captain of the school’s Wahoo, a Kerr 50 with 14 people aboard. Once underway, they were averaging more than 17 mph before the Wahoo had to leave the race at Montauk. A crew member had fallen overboard while dousing a spinnaker — a large, kite-like, triangular sail at the bow of the boat — and received 10 stitches after being transferred to shore by a U.S. Coast Guard vessel.

The oldest boat in the race was a wooden yawl — a type of two-masted sailboat — named Golden-Eye, which was built in 1937 and is owned by construction company owner Michael Emmert, 45, and his father Richard, 81, both of Glen Head.

Richard Emmert bought the boat in 1972 and they entered the regatta in 2003 but did not finish, his son said. They have competed 12 times with Golden-Eye since 2009, he said. "She's quite competitive,” Michael Emmert said before the start.

He wasn’t wrong. “We came out of the start like a rocket,” Michael Emmert said, hitting 13 mph. Golden-Eye finished second in its division in 46 hours and 47 minutes.

When the last boat, Nomad, a Hunter 45 owned by Shane Haas, of Westchester, crossed the finish line at 7:44 a.m. on July 30 — 67 hours after starting — 50 of the 71 boats had completed the race.

“That’s pretty much typical,” said principal race officer Doug Wefer. The withdrawals were attributed to too much wind, not enough wind, mechanical problems and the Wahoo’s medical emergency.

The first boat to finish was the Naval Academy’s Kodiak, in about 27 hours. The overall winner after applying the handicapping (to compensate for slower boats and make the race more competitive) was Group 5, a 34-foot Figaro 2 sailed by a team of four students from Webb Institute, the naval architecture and marine engineering college in Glen Cove.

“The overall conditions were the full spectrum,” Wefer said of the race. “Quite a windy day on Thursday, to being becalmed on Friday, and just a glorious ride home for the last boats on Sunday.”

THE HISTORY OF THE LONG ISLAND REGATTA

The history of the Around Long Island Regatta began with the Operation Sail parade of tall ships in New York Harbor for the nation's bicentennial in 1976.

That July Fourth event was organized by Sea Cliff maritime historian and artist Frank Braynard. Later that year, he was made an honorary member of the Sea Cliff Yacht Club and decided to build on the popular Operation Sail by creating a sailing race around Long Island the following year with the help of club members Wes Bailey and Pete Bethge.

The trio arranged for Newsday to sponsor the first Around Long Island Regatta.

In the early years, the regatta started in Sheepshead Bay, with the finish at the breakwater in Hempstead Harbor by the yacht club. In the mid-1980s, when the race grew to more than 200 boats, the regatta began off the southern shore of Staten Island. (The number of boats competing has declined as the cost of boat ownership has increased significantly.)

The regatta moved back to Sheepshead Bay in 1996. It remained there until 2017, when the course was lengthened to 207 miles to have the boats start by the Statue of Liberty, so more people could see it. — Bill Bleyer

Rich in history, the North Shore Yacht Club, established in 1871, is one of the three oldest yacht clubs on Long Island.

The Club is for people who love sailing, with membership classes and fees that are a fraction of the cost of other yacht clubs and marinas. Its fleet consists almost exclusively of sailboats, ranging from small one-designs to ocean-going vessels. We boast diverse membership classes that meet the needs of experienced cruisers, blue water racers, new sailors, junior sailors program, and even a loaner program for those without a boat.

The Club offers a well-sheltered mooring area protected by land on three sides, with quick and easy access to the Sound and to beautiful Port Washington and its amenities…all supported by world-class launch service. Members enjoy an active social and education calendar without all of the extraneous costs that other clubs charge for facilities little used by sailors.  Most of all, members enjoy the camaraderie, shared experiences and development of lifetime friendships with fellow sailors all within the backdrop of its comfortable clubhouse on beautiful Manhasset Bay.

Not an experienced sailor?  Have no boat?  Not to worry!  The Club boasts a Boat share program for adults where one can learn to sail and share a boat at one’s own pace and even aspire to a boat of one’s own. Additionally, the Club has a Junior Sailing Program for aspiring fledgling Skippers.  Both Programs enable these members to enjoy the yacht club experience at a very affordable price.

History of American Yacht Club

The history of american yacht club - rye, ny.

"A New Steam Yacht Club. The First Of It's Kind In The World."

Much has changed in the 140 years since "robber baron" Jay Gould and a group of his friends founded the American Yacht Club in New York City. By 1887, clearly in need of a shore station, the club purchased "12 acres and some rocks known as Scotch Caps" from the Wainwright family at the tip of Milton Point in Rye, NY. The price was $6,000 for what has become one of the outstanding locations on Long Island Sound.

In the beginning, all the boats enrolled in the club were steam yachts. However in 1889, the first American Yacht Club sailing race was held. In a "blow", six yachts completed a 20 mile course and established a tradition for what was to become one of the preeminent sailing clubs in the world. In the club's fleet have been America's Cup Defenders, Trans-Atlantic and Bermuda Race winners. Its sailors have been Long Island Sound, North American and World Champions in a number of classes. They have captured Olympic medals - most recently in 1996 when Courtenay Becker-Dey took a bronze in the Europe class. Four AYC skippers have won the US Women's Sailing Championship.

Through the years, the American Yacht Club Annual Invitational Cruise has been a test of sailing, boats and seamanship, as well as a family competition and plain old fun afloat.

One of the defining moments in American Yacht Club's history, however, didn't take place on the water. On July 27, 1951 an electrical fire burned AYC's landmark clubhouse to the ground. Galvanized by the event and the leadership of then Commodore William Crow, the membership rallied to support the construction - in little more than a year - of the comfortable building that now commands the view of what has been called "that magical point".

City Island's Premier Yacht & Social Club

Wide angle Morris YBC beach and piers

Long Island Sound’s Premier Yachting and Beach Club

Members & visitors enjoy easy access to NYC, the Long Island Sound, and the Atlantic Ocean from our well-protected City Island location.  Our waterfront property has a large lawn area with picnic benches, a private beach, a fishing pier, and launch operations to get you to and from your boat.  Our restaurant offers fine dining with an amazing waterfront view of the New York City skyline.

For more than 100 years, the Morris Yacht and Beach Club (MYBC) has been an institution on City Island, and our clubhouse a welcome landmark for sailors returning from a day, weekend, or extended cruise. Many have celebrated birthdays, weddings and other important events at our club, and some members have seen their children and grandchildren grow up and thrive here. Even members who don’t live on City Island call our community their second home.

When we lost the clubhouse in a fire on March 9th, 2012, many City Islanders feared that the Morris was gone, and that the property so loved by members and non-members alike would be sold. Our members united and voted to build a new clubhouse from the ground up.

Within days of the fire, Commodores from the Harlem YC, Stuyvesant YC and City Island YC called to offer meeting space and any other accommodations that we needed. The Commander of the island’s American Legion post as well as the Lido Restaurant also offered their facilities to us. At his invitation, a delegation from our Board of Directors met with Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion, who gave enthusiastic support and offered his office’s assistance.

As we continue to celebrate our new clubhouse, we will never forget the outpouring of warm feelings, generosity, and support that our fellow City Islanders have shown us. We at the Morris Yacht & Beach Club are proud and honored to be a part of the City Island community.

The Early Years 1892-1960

In April of 1892, just a few years after the New York Athletic Club took possession of Travers Island, the following brief, but consequential announcement appeared in the New York Athletic Club Journal:

"The Club's yachtsmen will be delighted to learn that the Board of Governors has decided to encourage yachting at Travers Island this season in a substantial manner. An adequate appropriation has been made for the erection of a house, 25 x 50 ft., a bridge, float, and wharf for the exclusive and proper accommodation of sailboats and launches. Members of the club who have heretofore kept their boats elsewhere will be able this season to transfer them to the Island, and to make this beautiful spot their summer home. To add to these inducements, the Yachting Committee, Messrs. Hausling, Rathbourne, and Miller, intends to make arrangements for a series of races. The situation of the Island, within easy reach of the best yachting waters in the vicinity, should make it a most desirable rendezvous. Our amateur sailors are urged to show their appreciation of the work of the Committee by making the most of the privileges afforded them."

Indeed they have! Starting in the summer of 1892, and continuing to this day, NYAC yachtsmen have taken excellent advantage of one of the finest protected harbors on Long Island Sound, and the sport of yachting has, for over a century, made its contribution to the spirit of excellence of the New York Athletic Club.

The earliest yachtsmen of the NYAC were unique in that these were men with a broad interest in amateur athletics, of which yachting was only one of the many sports they participated in. Two of our founders and our first two Commodores, Messrs. Hausling and Rathbourne were noted athletes of their day and each served the NYAC as Club Captain and Governor.

Fred M. Hausling was captain of the baseball team at Steven's Institute as well as chairman of their athletic committee. He was also a track and football star at Columbia. He served as NYAC Captain seven years after founding the NYAC Yachting Committee. He sailed the schooner REBECCA for many years until she was wrecked on the Delaware Breakwater in the fall of 1898.

Another of our founding fathers, and our second Commodore, Robert W. (Shorty) Rathbourne was one of the most decorated rowers of his day. He won the prestigious Diamond Sculls, an unprecedented five times, as well as the Double Sculls National Championship in 1879. "Shorty" Rathbourne was one of the earliest members of the New York Athletic Club, joining in 1870. He served as Secretary of the Club in 1873, and Club Captain in 1875 and 1876. He served as Commodore of the NYAC Yachting Committee for three terms, 1893, 1904, and again in 1906. Significantly, during his second watch as Commodore, he, along with his young protégé, Henry A. Jackson, organized the first NYAC Block Island Race. This race, now known as the NYAC Distance Race to Stratford Shoal, is the oldest distance race on Long Island Sound. He cruised and raced his sloop IO. and later his 42' racing cutter SALADIN from Travers Island for over 25 years. At his death in 1917, the cover of The Winged Foot was devoted to this NYAC pioneer.

During the winter of 1894, the Yachting Committee, now under the direction of Commodore F. W. Lawton designed the New York Athletic Club burgee. The design called for "a triangular flag, white ground with scarlet border, and the regulation 'Winged Foot' in the centre." By spring of that year, the first hauling ways had been built and a flag pole had been erected to fly the Club's new burgee. Also that spring, the Club's first steam launch was purchased and named appropriately MINSTREL to commemorate the Club talent show held at Carnegie Hall, that was instrumental in securing the funds necessary for her purchase.

A meeting of the New York Yacht Racing Association was held on June 22nd, 1894, at which the New York Athletic Club delegate, Mayhew W. Bronson, made his initial appearance. The NYAC was one of the charter members of this association, now known as the Yacht Racing Association of Long Island Sound. In recognition of the Club's emerging stature in yachting, the first reciprocal agreements were announced with American Yacht Club, Larchmont Yacht Club, Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club, Horseshoe Harbor Yacht Club, and the New Rochelle Yacht Club.

The first NYAC Yacht Book was printed in 1895 under the direction of Commodore Mayhew W. Bronson. The list contained the names of about 90 yachts, including the victorious 1893 America's Cup defender VIGILANT, owned by members George and Howard Gould. Commodore Bronson also supervised the construction of a second and more elaborate clubhouse that replaced the original $1000 structure. In addition, the landing dock was extended and the ways were upgraded in order to service larger yachts.

By the end of the century, the New York Athletic Club attracted many of America's wealthy financial and industrial barons. Many of these men were avid yachtsmen. Names such as Vanderbilt, Roosevelt, Belmont, and Gould were common in the NYAC Yacht Book. Of the 178 yachts listed in the 1899 Yacht Book, 23 were over 100 ft. LOA. The largest was the 306' steamer VARUNA owned by Eugene Higgins. While he was President of the NYAC, August Belmont was a leading member of the 1893 syndicate that defended the America's Cup with VIGILANT. Of the ten members of the 1903 America's Cup defense syndicate, half were members of the New York Athletic Club.

The NYAC was also becoming more visible in yacht racing. Some of the noteworthy achievements of those early years include those by Fred and William Oakes, who, along with H. M. Knapp, took three firsts out of four divisions in the 1893 Shrewsbury Yacht Club's Fourth of July Regatta. Another Club member, P. L. Howard, finished first in the annual New Rochelle Yacht Club Regatta that summer. In 1897, Eugene N. Robinson's cabin yawl JESTER won both the Huguenot Yacht Club Regatta in May as well as the Seawanhaka Corinthian Regatta in June. In 1902, NYAC yachtsman Addison G. Hanan, one of the most respected sailors in the United States, won a spectacular "come from behind" victory to enable the Rochester Yacht Club to defend the Canadian Cup against a fierce Canadian challenge. The following year, H. Mason Raborg and his Herreshoff designed 18 foot OPOSSUM was the first boat of her class to win a season championship on Long Island Sound under the New York Athletic Club colors.

Probably the most well known of our early yachting members, Wilson Marshall, set a transatlantic sailing record in May of 1905 aboard his 187' three masted schooner ATLANTIC, one of the largest yachts in the NYAC fleet. His record has stood for most of this century. His impressive passage, accomplished during his successful challenge for the "Kaiser's Cup", from Sandy Hook to the Lizard covered a course of 3014 miles in 12 days and 4 hours for an average speed of 10.4 knots. This achievement was worthy of front page news in the New York Times on May 30th, 1905. One account stated that his captain, Charlie Barr, the famous America's Cup skipper, came below one night when a severe gale was blowing and asked, "Commodore, if we are going to lay to, we must do it now or not at all. Reportedly, Marshall looked at him and said, "Captain Barr, I am racing," and Barr replied, "That is all I wanted to know, sir," and the Atlantic did not lay to.

NYAC Block Island Race

Notwithstanding some of the outstanding competitive achievements of some of our early yachtsmen, the NYAC had yet to achieve top rung status in the sport of yachting by the turn of the century. Commodore Rathbourne knew that no yacht club can, or ever will prosper without taking a leadership role in yacht racing. So, as reported in The Winged Foot, he decided to take the necessary steps to assure the NYAC a leadership position in the sport of yachting.

"In the summer of 1903, two good yachting cronies, Harry Jackson and Shorty Rathbourne, were down below in the cabin of the SALADIN safely at anchor in Lloyd's Harbor while a nor'easter blew itself out. The discussion turned to the possibilities of a race in which heavier built ocean boats could be competitive. Jackson recalled Rathbourne's exact proposal: 'Harry, what do you say if we run a race for the Club next spring so as to bar out all those short wasted fellows?' Jackson answered with enthusiasm, and that very evening they hammered out the date, course, and a thousand and one details. It was decided to inaugurate a race which was to start off Huckleberry Island and finish in Block Island Harbor."

In 1904 the NYAC's stature in the sport of yachting was dramatically enhanced with the initiation of the Club's first ocean race called the NYAC Block Island Race. The winner of the first race to Block Island was E. L. and R. B. Seward's POSSUM with Clifford D. Mallory's HANLEY second. This event created much interest among yachtsmen of America as well as England and catapulted the NYAC into the forefront of yachting. The NYAC Block Island Race started a trend among local yacht clubs, several of which, by 1906, added one or more distance races to their schedule. The Block Island Race and the professionalism of its administration were widely acknowledged.

Yachting commented: "This event is without question the most popular long-distance race on the coast, its popularity being due in some measure to the fact that it is sailed under the over all rule of measurement, a rule which gives some of the older and smaller boats a good chance against the newer and faster craft; but probably more from the fact that it is an ideal distance for such a race, the 100 nautical miles of the course being usually negotiated inside of 24 hours."

The Winged Foot boasted after the 1909 event: "The NYAC's sixth Annual Block Island Race was by all odds the greatest small boat racing event ever pulled off in the Sound or in any water. This year's event doubled the number of boats ever brought to the line by any other club in the history of the sport. This magnificent record is one which places the NYAC in the very front ranks of yacht clubs. The scene was a picture in which a marine painter would have glorified. Everyone for miles around who owned or whose friends owned a sail or power boat, was on hand to witness the start. So many boats started that it was impossible to determine which crossed first. The Sound resounded with a cheer from the assembled fleet for "the Club that made Block Island famous!"

The New York Herald concurred: "The manner in which this annual sailing race has been managed and the persistency of its promoters deserve the commendation of the yachting community. While the officials of the Club who were interested in the inauguration of the race should be commended, it remains to be noted that for real courage and downright persistency Mr. Henry A. Jackson, Chairman of the NYAC's Yachting Committee, is a shining example, and he deserves the thanks of the Club's associates and all the boys along the Sound for the development and success of the annual contest under his management."

Thomas Fleming Day, the widely respected editor of Rudder, and a giant in the sport of yachting at the turn of the century, and an avid participant and promoter of sailboat races was eager to encourage similar competition among the growing fleet of power boats. He generously donated to the NYAC a sterling silver cup for a power boat race over the same course as the NYAC Block Island Race.

The first NYAC Block Island Power Boat Race was initiated in 1908, and it rapidly grew into as major an event as its older sister, the sailboat competition. The winner of the Thomas Fleming Day Trophy was ERONEL, owned by Commodore S. Cokernut of Bensonhurst Yacht Club. Both the power and sail races were run on the same day over the same 100 mile course. In the early years the Power Boat Race was a flat out race to Block Island with cruisers of different sizes competing in different divisions. Because the handicapping rules were constantly being contested as larger and more powerful engines were developed, the race evolved into the predicted log format in the 1930's. Predicted log racing was largely pioneered and developed by NYAC yachtsmen, originating with the McAleenan Cup, a NYAC sponsored race from Huckleberry Island to Lloyd's Harbor, in 1919, won by the inimitable Henry A. Jackson.

By 1912 The Winged Foot proclaimed: "The Mercury foot flag can now claim to be flown as widely as any other ensign, and many of the enthusiastic members of the Club on distant waters loyally fly the emblem." Through its sponsorship and professional management of the Block Island Race, the New York Athletic Club had achieved a preeminent position in the sport of yacht racing. Indeed, the NYAC Yachting Department had become one of the best known yachting organizations in the country, evident in the fact that the Club announced reciprocal agreements that year with 43 well known yacht clubs on both the east and west coasts.

Commodore Jackson must also receive credit for the success of the Annual NYAC Lloyd Harbor Cruise which was also initiated in 1904. By 1910, four hundred participants, including ninety ladies and representatives from seven reciprocal yacht clubs, went on this annual NYAC Labor Day excursion. Over 100 boats, both power and sail were in the fleet. The program consisted of a feeder race to Lloyd's Harbor, dingy races, a horse race, a running race, a sack race, assorted games, a clam bake, a costume contest, swimming and other amusements, capped off by music supplied by the Huntington Band. Commodore Jackson "was largely responsible for the tremendous success of the party," according to The Winged Foot.

The Yachting "Department" is Organized

From its beginnings in 1892 through 1912, the Commodore of the NYAC Yachting Committee reported directly to the NYAC Athletic Committee, chaired by the Club Captain. Recognizing the growing interest in yachting and the complexities of running a proper yachting organization, the Board of Governors voted on April 23rd, 1912 to organize a separate NYAC Yachting Department with its own officers, who had fiduciary responsibility for the Department, and its own by-laws. The officers of the Yachting Department, heretofore, would be elected by its members and they would report directly to the Board of Governors. This far-sighted action by the Board Of Governors facilitated a far better managed organization by empowering members familiar with yachting to run the Department. In addition, by elevating the Yachting Committee to Departmental status, the NYAC put its yachting officers on a par with the ranking officers of other yacht clubs along the Sound.

On December 19th, 1912, the NYAC Yachting Department hosted an extraordinary dinner attended by over 200 yachtsmen to honor our most famous Honorary Member, Sir Thomas J. Lipton. The dinner was held in the Main Dining Room of the Club, which was decorated with huge shamrock flags, the emblem of Sir Thomas' native land and the yachts under which he had challenged for the America's Gup. The Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes were draped together, and a thousand colored yachting pennants were suspended from the chandeliers. Among the noteworthy guests were Commodore Wilson Marshall, owner of the "Kaiser's Cup" winner ATLANTIC, and old friend of Sir Thomas; Thomas Fleming Day, who had just crossed the Atlantic by the northern passage in a 35' motor boat with a 16 h.p. engine, the commodores and flag officers of half a dozen reciprocal yacht clubs; as well as several prominent military officers, politicians, journalists, and local yachtsmen. Commodore Emil Heuel of the NYAC introduced Vice Commodore Edward A. Summer, as toastmaster, who read letters of regret from the President of the United States, two U. S. Supreme Court Justices, and assorted university presidents. He then introduced Sir Thomas as "a man who has done more to promote good feeling between the mother country and ours than any Ambassador who ever crossed the ocean in either direction, a true sportsman loved by all." Sir Thomas was given a rousing ovation, three ringing cheers, and a rendition of "He's A Jolly Good Fellow," which everyone sang. When the demonstration had subsided, Sir Thomas began his remarks with a tribute to the New York Athletic Club which, he said, "is known all over the world, as an institution that fosters all kinds of amateur sports, including, I am glad to say, yachting, the best of all sports, to my mind." He went on to delight the gathering with several "vintage Sir Thomas tales" and announced that he would challenge again for "The Auld Mug" in 1914. After his remarks, Rear Commodore Wallace, of the NYAC, told of his visit with Sir Thomas in London last year, at which, Sir Thomas assured him of his support of the NYAC Block Island Race by donating a beautiful Cup for the 1913 races. The Sir Thomas J. Lipton Trophy was to be awarded to the new "Viking Class" of mariner who operated and navigated their own vessels without the assistance of paid professionals. This happy gathering closed with another rousing ovation for our good friend, and the singing of "Auld Lang Syne."

For many years, Sir Thomas was a frequent visitor to the New York Athletic Club and the Yacht House on Travers Island. He presented the Yachting Department with the flag flown by his SHAMROCK IV during his challenge for the America's Cup in 1920. When our new Club House was built on Central Park South in 1927, Sir Thomas J. Lipton, Honorary Member of the NYAC and renowned yachtsman, honored us by laying the cornerstone for our new home.

The Yacht House is Built

A few years earlier, during the summer of 1916, a new Yacht House was built atop Pomeroy's Hill on Travers Island, under the able guidance of Commodore Harry Anderson. It was officially opened for inspection by the members at the closing ceremonies on October 7th. The structure consisted of an 18x30 ft. lounging room, a ladies room, a members' locker room and a large porch. The plans were drawn by Architect George F. Pelham. It was described at the time "as an ample building, fashioned of stucco in the bungalow type. The situation is imposing, being on the summit of an island between the mainland and Glen Island, and the porch commands an extensive view of the surrounding waters and countryside. The interior of the house is tastefully furnished and the reception room is greatly augmented by a multi-color array of private and official signals encircling the walls."

In addition to our annual successes with the Block Island Race, the Club continued to add to its competitive achievements, both in power and sail. On July 4th, 1909, Commodore Henry Jackson, aboard his fast 39' sloop VICTORY, won the Brooklyn Yacht Club Ocean Challenge Cup, which was the "blue ribbon of the sea for small sailboat ocean racing" in that era. He won this most prestigious 285 mile ocean race, notwithstanding the fact that in the middle of the night, he stood by a disabled competitor until she was deemed seaworthy.

The New York Athletic Club continued to earn its reputation as a leading organization in power boat development and competition. The Club presented the beautifully ornate Handicap Cruiser Championship Cup to the American Power Boat Association in 1920 as a perpetual trophy for the Cruiser Championship of America. When Commodore Jackson retired from sailboat competition, he purchased the power cruiser VICTORY ll., and proceeded to win the Cruiser Championship of America in 1920; Commodore Thomas Farmer's TURTLETOO captured the prize in 1921; Commodore E. A. Jimenis' KEMAH ll. earned the trophy in 1927, and William C. Baldwin took the trophy in 1929. In 1925, 1926, and in 1927 the NYAC continued its dominance in power boat racing with the Cruiser Championship of New York, the Trunz, the Hunt, and the Craig Trophies as well as the Sheepshead Bay Ocean Handicap.

In 1926, we had the misfortune of having the shop and locker house destroyed by fire and it was decided to postpone rebuilding until a larger and more suitable location could be secured. The following year, a seawall with a boardwalk was erected between the Yacht house and the Rowing House. Fill from an extensive dredging operation of the anchorage was pumped in behind the wall thus reclaiming a large area of land which has since served so well as parking and winter storage space. A new fireproof locker house and shop were also constructed. This major improvement of both the summer mooring and the winter storage facilities made room for about seventy yachts and brought a larger number of Winged Foot yachts to home waters.

From 1918 through the early 1960's, the Club sponsored one of the largest sailing events on the Sound, the NYAC Annual Regatta, in which it was not unusual for well over 125 boats to participate in upwards of a dozen divisions, from Internationals to Lightning's. In the 1950 NYAC Annual Regatta, over 200 boats participated. This event, always held in late August, was one of the largest in the series of weekly "around the buoy" races that led to the Annual YRA Championship of Long Island Sound. For many years Commander Fred W. Horenburger, Chairman of the NYAC Race Committee, ran this major Regatta with the utmost professionalism.

During the summer of 1933, NYAC Fleet Captain, Dr. Leuman M. Waugh, cruised his 34' motor cruiser NANU to the sub-arctic northern Labrador coast on a scientific expedition for Columbia University. Dr. Waugh, an orthodontist, was studying the dental condition and attending to the dental needs of the region's Eskimos. He found that it was not unusual for an Eskimo to dig an aching molar out with a jackknife or hammer it out with a rock and a spike. He came across one hunter so crazed with pain that he shot a tooth out with a rifle, destroying part of his jaw, and tearing away a considerable portion of his cheek. When he demonstrated painless extraction using anesthesia, the natives were so overwhelmed, they tried to convince our good Fleet Captain to also pull their healthy teeth, for they were afraid he would never return. On his voyage, Dr. Waugh was the first caucasion to explore EKortiarsuk Fjord, and, of course he flew the NYAC burgee further North than it had ever been flown before.

On April 3rd, 1938 Commodore Leuman M. Waugh presided over the dedication of the huge oil painting which adorns the wall over the stone fireplace in the Yacht House. Commodore Waugh dedicated the beautiful painting "To the great New York Athletic Club, to the faithful and loyal members of the Yachting Department, and to the members who made our Club and our Department what they are today." He then introduced the artist whose landscape paintings are nationally famous, George W. Drew, who had exhibited his paintings at leading art galleries throughout the country, and whose works could be found in the collections of prominent collectors. A group of over 100 members attended the dedication.

On March 20th, 1941, the Yachting Department adopted a new constitution and by-laws that were submitted and approved by the Board of Governors. The new constitution was actually a modernization of the existing by-laws that had been in force since 1912. The primary purpose of enacting this new constitution was to conform with the currently accepted code among the other yacht clubs in the area.

World War ll caused a major upheaval in every facet of American life, and yachting was no different. In May of 1941, in anticipation of hostilities, the Yachting Department formed the NYAC Coast Guard Auxiliary, Flotilla 604, under the direction of Commander William K. Denton and Commodore Melvin A. Hayes. The primary purpose of this group was to assist the U. S. Coast Guard in both military preparedness as well as coastal patrol duty. All members of the Club participated by either taking part in active patrols or, in the case of the larger craft, donating their yachts to the Coast Guard for such duty. The Block Island Races were suspended from 1942 to 1945. In 1943, the United States Navy formally took over Travers Island for use as a training facility for the Norwegian Gunnery School and the Coast Guard. No pleasure craft operated from the Island during this period and the Yacht House was formally off limits to members. Since "around the buoy" sailboat races were condoned because they did not violate gasoline rationing restrictions, The Larchmont Yacht Club was gracious enough to lend its facilities to the NYAC Race Committee in order for our flag officers to continue running the NYAC Annual Regatta. During this period the Yachting Department moved into the "Lion's Den", a cozy cabin with a pot-bellied stove, a club room, and lockers across the creek at the Lion's Shipyard. In 1944, the Navy gave permission for members to launch their boats, but since gasoline was available only for the launch, the fleet never left the harbor. The Club launch serviced the fleet from a NYAC float at Lion's Shipyard. During 1945, the Yachting Department was able to secure temporary quarters on Travers Island, in the Trap Shooters Lodge, where the official opening ceremonies were performed. A full schedule of normal activities, including the return of both the Sail and Power Block Island Races, was not resumed until 1946.

On a sad note, on October 5th, 1943, Commodore Henry A. Jackson, the "guiding spirit" of the NYAC Yachting Department, passed away. He joined the NYAC in 1895 as an Athletic Member on the rowing team, and joined the Yachting Department in 1904. Yachting Committee founder and fellow rower, Robert W. Rathbourne took him under his wing and they soon became shipmates. Together they co-founded the NYAC Block Island Race in 1904. He served as Commodore from 1907 through 1911, and then as a mentor and trusted advisor to over thirty years of NYAC commodores. At the time of his death he was a member of the NYAC Yachting Department Executive Committee, a position he held for many years. He also served as an executive committee member of the Yacht Racing Association of Long Island Sound, the American Power Boat Association, and the United States Power Squadron. Commodore Jackson was considered one of the prominent yachtsmen in the country. He lectured on navigation for many years, and thousands of yachtsmen had him to thank for their knowledge of this science. Harry Jackson was a champion sailboat and power boat racer, and winner of numerous trophies; yet he was so principled, he would never compete in an event he was officiating. He left us a great tradition in the sport of yachting, not only in racing, but in the proper and safe operation of boats. His manner was described as militant and often scrappy in upholding the traditions of yachting and the Club's good name. Under Commodore Jackson's guidance the NYAC became a widely respected yachting organization. He left us the memory of his fine character, and the splendid code of sportsmanship for which he was known. In his will, Harry Jackson bequeathed the Club all of his trophies, medals and prizes and provided a beautiful display case for their exhibition. He also donated the sum of $5000 to the NYAC Yachting Department, "the income of which is to be used for a first prize annually in the Block Island Race. This trophy is to be known as the Victory Trophy. Should yacht racing cease to be conducted by the Club in any given year, the net income for that year shall be applied to the repair, construction, and betterment of the buildings, floats, grounds, and other parts of the Club used for the furtherance of the sport of yachting."

For many years Club member, Walter Miller, invited NYAC Yachtsmen and their families to his bucolic Nassau Point Ranch on Peconic Bay for a weekend get-together that was always one of the most memorable events of the season. Even during the war years, when members had to find alternate transportation to "Walter's Ranch", the party went on. It was an important way to keep the fiber of the Yachting Department together during those difficult years, and it was not unusual for over fifty members and their families to join the festivities. Just before the party broke up in 1945, one of them, on behalf of all, waxed poetic:

There's a hospitable spot down Peconic way, That's called Walt Miller's Ranch, and it's right on the Bay. It doesn't have horses, nor does it have cows, Nor Indians with ceremonial pow-wows. Unless you call his guests a tribe When they whoop it up with time out to imbibe. But so many nice things have been done by our host That we think it's about time to propose a toast. So here's to our Walter, so generous and so kind, A better friend our Yachtsmen never will find. We'll always be grateful for all he has done To make us so happy, the old son of a gun.

Jackson Day Race

In 1946, Mrs. Statier Jackson, widow of our beloved Commodore, offered a trophy for a predicted log contest called the "Jackson Memorial Race", to be run from Huckleberry Island to Lloyd's Harbor and back. The trophy, a replica of the "Winged Victory" was always on board her husband's yachts. The "Winged Victory" is the mythological symbol for "victory", and the original was crafted in 1863 and sits in The Louvre. A clambake traditionally followed the event on the Yacht House grounds. This event lives on in the form of the Jackson Day Sail and Power Boat Races that are competed for annually by NYAC Members to this day.

NYAC Yacht Club

In July of 1957, the name of the NYAC Yachting Department was informally changed to the NYAC Yacht Club. The membership decided this new name more accurately reflected the extensive yachting facilities, operations, and activities that the New York Athletic Club offers on Travers Island. Also during the summer of 1957, the NYAC Block Island Sailboat Race was officially changed to the NYAC Distance Race to Stratford Shoal. The Race Committee decided this shortened "round-trip" course would enhance participation and simplify committee boat logistics. Colin Ratsey's GOLLIWOGG won the first Stratford Shoal Race with George Coumantaros' BACCARAT finishing in second place.

The Marina is Built

In 1958, after considerable planning and fund raising, the Yacht Club opened Marina A, with slips for 20 yachts up to 60' in overall length. Peter Lind Hayes' QUEEN MARY ll. was the first yacht in the marina. The following year, Marina B was completed with a similar number of slips. The overall strategic plan and fund raising was adroitly handled by Vice Commodore Valentine Taubner. The marina was designed by Ralph W. Atwater, an eminent consultant on subaqueous work. Under Atwater's direction a survey of the marina site was made, including soundings and drillings of the bottom to determine the amount of dredging necessary, the number and size of the pilings, and the depth to which they should be driven to provide maximum protection. After the plans were approved by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, the marina was built under the direction of Club member Joseph Bonner whose vast energy, ingenuity, and many years of experience with the Bonner Construction Company was made available to the Club. Vice Commodore Taubner was instrumental in convincing the Board Of Governors that by allowing the Yacht Club to build the marina, overall NYAC membership would increase, the use of the Club's facilities on Travers Island as well as the City House would increase, and the value of Travers Island's physical plant would appreciate at no cost to the main Club. He also counseled the Board that it would be in the best interests of the Club to extend guest privileges to visiting yachtsmen from recognized yacht clubs in order to reciprocate for the many favors extended NYAC yachtsmen over the years, and also to increase revenues at the Travers Island dining room and bar. Needless to say, the marina was an immediate success and it continues to this day to fulfill all the promises of its builders.

As they have for so many years, NYAC yachtsmen continued to succeed on the race course. Unfortunately, because of space limitations, we can only list a few of the major achievements. In the 1954 Newport to Bermuda Race, George Coumantaros' BACCARAT finished fourth in his division and ninth overall among a fleet of 77 of the best sailors on the east coast. Dr. Allen B. DuMont, the celebrated television scientist and NYAC yachtsman finished second in cumulative points for the season in the Predicted-Log National Championship, aboard his 54' cruiser HURRICANE lll. In 1958 and 1959 he won the National Championship. Also in 1959, Dr. Walter Neuman's SITZMARK IV won Class B honors in the New York Yacht Club's Annapolis to Newport Race. He sailed the 468 nautical mile course in 90 hours. In 1960 Club member Elias A. Kalil won the National Championship in Predicted -Log Power Cruiser Racing with 7285 points, over 1000 more points than his closest competitor. In the 1960 Newport to Bermuda Race, five NYAC yachts flew the Winged Foot burgee: George Coumantaros' 51' yawl BACCARAT, who finished second in Class B; Dr. Walter Neuman in his 40' sloop Sitzmark IV, who took second place in Class D; Emil Capita in his 45' sloop Hi-Q ll.; S. G. Schementi in his 50' ketch GARMELITA; and Steven Hansen in his 48' yawl ANITRA.

Thanks to John Poth, a member of the Yacht Club Executive Committee, the traditional NYAC Yacht Book, not published since 1939, was again published in 1960. At the closing ceremonies in 1960, the Yacht Club dedicated a new 65' galvanized flag pole that was built with the bequest of George W. Parkhurst, Secretary, and Chairman of the Membership Committee for many years. A bronze memorial tablet was placed at the base of the pole commemorating Captain Parkhurst's generosity.

Yacht Club Improvements 1960's

The Yacht Club has always distinguished itself from other NYAC Intra Clubs by its members donating "their" own time and labor and capital in building the Yacht Club facilities. In 1962, under Commodore Paul Du Jardin, the Yacht House interior was remodeled with a new ceiling, exhaust fans and two picture windows. A partition was removed, increasing spatial area for meetings and parties. 1963 Entertainment and House Chairman Peter Furia oversaw the additional House refurbishment including a paneled bar. Under Commodore James B. Moore in 1964, a new launch was purchased and commissioned in his name. Grounds Chairman Ed Hicks planted shrubs and flowers with tulips arranged as a floral Winged Foot. Commodore Moore announced plans for the construction of Marina C to be ready for 1965 occupancy. At the 1964 flag lowering ceremonies, Rt. Rev. Msgr. Francis X. Mahoney was presented with a plaque commemorating his 15th year as Fleet Chaplain. In 1965, the Yacht House was completely repainted. It was Ed Hicks' intention to install a watering system for the lawn, shrubs, and flowers. His fulfillment of this plan was overseen by Peter Furia as a tribute to the late Ed Hicks. Captains Robert Bukofser, Vince Cronin, and Bill Schwarz donated the improvement to blacktop the area behind the sea wall for practical and aesthetic reasons.

Under Commodore Joseph Bonner's tenure, drilling began on April 15, 1966, for the Yacht Club's own well. This project, financed by the Yacht Club, enabled it to be completely independent of New Rochelle's water supply. Thereby, no possible water shortage could prevent the washing down of boats. The Yacht House's exterior and interior were freshly painted and windows were fitted with new curtains, made by members' wives. A guard rail and fence were installed along the seawall side of the Yacht Club's parking lot. Grounds Chairman Captain John Squillario and his sons planted trees and shrubs, enhancing the Yacht House ground's appearance. Captain Peter Lind Hayes, our radio celebrity club member, donated a public address system for use at ceremonies. In August, Charles Froatz was hired as Yacht Club Manager. Upon his retirement in 1986 after 19 years of service, his son Caleb became Yard Manager, having worked with his father for 12 years.

In 1969, under Commodore William J. Schwarz, Engineering Chairman Commodore Joe Bonner, and Vice Commodore Bob Bukofser, Charlie Froatz and his staff built a new gas dock and associated floats.

Several club members participated in the Sail and Power Boat Races - notably Dr. Walter Neumann and his Sitzmark, and Captain Elias Kalil in Irene K V., his cruiser. Dr. Neumann placed 1st in Class B in the NYAC Stratford Shoal Race, 2nd in Division B of the 1961 Larchmont Yacht Club Edlu Trophy, 3rd in Class C of the 1961 Marblehead-Halifax Race, and 1st in Class A, with elapsed and corrected times, in the 26th Annual City Island Yacht Club Stratford Shoal Race. The 52nd NYAC sponsored Stratford Shoal Race, Emil Capita, sailing his Hi-Q-II, won 1st place in his Division. He was awarded the 1961 Winged Foot Trophy for placing 1st as overall winner in this race. This 1961 record was crowned by George Coumantaros, sailing Baccarat into 2nd place in the classic Vineyard Race. The Jackson Day Predicted Log Race was dominated by Elias Kalil and Dr. Alan B. Dumont, the Yacht Club's two National Predicted Log Champions, with Captain Kalil capturing the coveted trophy.

In the 1960 Newport to Bermuda Race, Dr. Neumann finished 2nd in his Class. In the 1962 Race, Dr. Neumann finished 4th and George Coumantaros finished 2nd in their respective Classes.

In 1962, Dr. Neumann finished 2nd in the Stratford Shoal Race, and 1st in the Handicap Cruising Race, 1st in his Class A and placed 1st overall of the Bayside Yacht Club Invitation. In the Huntington Yacht Club's Stratford Shoal Race, he finished 2nd. In 1963 NYAC sponsored Stratford Shoal Race, Emil Capita won 1st place with corrected time in Hi-Q-II. Having won the 1961 race, Capita was the only person to win this race twice. Third and fourth places were won by George Coumantaros and Dr. Neumann respectfully. Commodore Moore's 16 year old daughter won her 1st Predicted Log Race in Star Brite, the smallest participating craft. In 1961 and 1962, Captain Kahil continued to retain his title as National Cruiser Champion. Competing in National Championships since 1934, he consistently earned high rankings including the 1960 and 1961 Martini and Rossi Eastern Championships.

Dr. Neumann sailed in the Transatlantic Yacht Race from Newport, Rhode Island to Plymouth, England - placing 3rd after 22 days at sea, 17 of which were foggy. He and his crew continued to Southampton for the Cowes Week Races in which 14 American boats and some 120 European boats participated. Sitzmark finished 1st on corrected time among the 14 American boats in the Channel Race and 2nd in the Brittanica Cup.

In 1964, he won 3rd place in corrected time in Class C in the 29th Block Island Race of the Storm Trysail Club in which 135 boats participated. He raced his Sitzmark in the 735-mile Bermuda-Halifax Race, winning by a margin of 3 hours, breaking the previous record of 20 hours. Baccarat and Sitzmark both took honors in the 1964 Bermuda Race.

In the 1965 Stratford Shoal Race, three Divisions were established for the first time. In Division I, Dr. Neumann placed 2nd, and Mr. George Hoffmann finished 3rd in his 47 foot Duster. That same year, Dr. Neumann had his Sitzmark transported on a steamer to Buenos Aires to participate in the 1200-mile Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro Race. In the 1965 Knickerbocker Race, he finished 2nd. Captain Kalil earned a 1st place for the Eastern Cruiser Association (E.C.A.) for the third successive year. He brought home again the Martini and Rossi Trophy. Second place honors in the E.C.A. and Martini and Rossi Championships went to Commodore Elias Safie of Laurelia 111. Captains Kalil and Safie were awarded the East Coast Team Trophy.

In the 1966 Newport to Bermuda Race, Sail Race Committee Chairman Hoffmann with his Duster, Captain Coumantaros with his Baccarat, and Dr. Neumann with his Sitzmark, won respectable places in their classes. In the Trans-Atlantic Bermuda to Denmark Race, Dr. Neumann placed 4th in his Division. Captain Hoffmann finished 2nd in Class A in the Annual Knickerbocker Y.C. Day Race and 3rd in Class A in the City Island-Stratford Shoal Race.

In early 1967, Dr. Neumann won 1st place in the 811 -Miami to Montego Bay, Jamaica Race of 6 days. In the NYAC Distance Race, Baccarat, Duster, and Sitzmark participated with Dr. Neumann placing 2nd in Class A. In the Storm Trysail's Block Island Race, Captain Hoffmann sailed his Duster to 1st place in Class B, to 3rd place in the City Island Stratford Shoal Race, and took two 3rd prized in the New York Yacht Club Annual Cruise, held in Cape Cod waters. In the Stamford-Vineyard Race, Captain Coumantaros' Baccarat won 1st overall in fleet and in Class A. These three sailors entered the Larchmont Edlu Trophy Race. In Division I, Captain Coumantaros finished 4th and in Division II, Dr. Neumann finished 2nd.

In the Corinthian Spring Race, Dr. Neumann placed 1st in both elapsed and corrected times, and took 2nd place in the Class A Division of the Corinthian Fall Race. Sitzmark took Class A and overall in the Stuyvesant Yacht Club Fall Race, and 2nd place in the Stuyvesant Yacht Club Fall Race Class A. Division.

1968 was the Centennial for the NYAC. In the Newport to Bermuda Race, Baccarat, Duster, and Sitzmark entered with Baccarat taking 3rd in Class C. In 1968 and 1969, Virginia Moore, sailing Gin Jimme V, won the Block Island Predicted Log Race Trophy. Dr. Neumann also brought home two trophies in the Storm Trysail's Sandy Hook-to-Chesapeake Bay Race for 1st on corrected time and 1st in his Class.

In 1969, in the 8th Annual Knickerbocker Yacht Club Race, Dr. Neumann took 2nd in Division A and 3rd place overall. As a fitting close to Dr. Neumann's 1960s decade of admirable sailing, he took 1st place in the Bayside Yacht Club Annual Regatta.

Junior Sailing

In 1963, Vice Commodore Sturge Chadwick and Captain Ralph Hertz suggested that the Yacht Club sponsor a "Dinghy" racing program for junior members, 10 to18 years old, to compete with junior skippers of neighboring clubs. A sailing program was initiated with classes for beginners and advanced sailors. The program was part of the Junior Racing Association. According to Y.R.A. standards, students were to progress through the various levels of proficiency and terminate as skippers. At the start of this program six Tech-dingies were used with classroom instruction. Six Blue Jays, the racing boat used by Long Island Sound Clubs, were acquired the following year. Captain Jack Cutter ran an excellent Junior Sailing Program in 1964. In the 1961 and 1962 Jackson Day Contest, a Junior Division was included.

Riverside Yacht Club History

long island yacht club history

On the evening of May 25, 1888 George I. Tyson, a prominent summer resident of Riverside and an enthusiastic yachtsman, invited 10 of his friends to meet with him at his home to consider and act upon his plan to establish a yacht club in the community. George Tyson provided an acre or so of waterfront land, and he offered to finance the construction and equipping of a clubhouse. In return for this, a token rental was charged. According to the Lloyd's Registry of American Yachts, Riverside Yacht Club (RYC) became the second yacht club to be established in the state of Connecticut and the eighth on Long Island Sound in order of seniority among those that have survived to the present day.

George Tyson served as Commodore for eight consecutive years. With his yacht, Nirvana, he led the cruising fleet on its annual runs to the eastern end of Long Island Sound.

Commodore Tyson was a self-made man, and a captain in New York's famed Seventh Regiment during the Civil War. It is Commodore Tyson's history with the Civil War and his regiment's flag, that led to the design of the RYC burgee.

long island yacht club history

The original clubhouse was built in 1889. By 1893 additional room was needed and an adjacent structure, called the "spar loft" was built on the property. The spar house contained bowling alleys, rooms for shuffleboard and billiards.  When the furniture was cleared, it also served a ball room for summer dances.

During the winter of 1892-93, some of the members conceived the idea of establishing winter quarters in New York City. William Bagg, became an enthusiastic supporter of the idea and generously offered the use of his rooms at 39 West 31st Street for this purpose. The RYC annual meetings were held here up until 1895 after which they were then held back in Riverside.

Around 1927, the RYC membership bought the property from the Tyson estate. The Club's membership had grown and the harbor was filling with yachts. Inter-club racing on Long Island Sound was well under  way.

long island yacht club history

In 1928, the membership decided that the original club house need to be replaced with a new structure. The new club house was completed in May, 1929. The club was not winterized until 1946. In 1958 the swimming pool and filtration plant were completed. A year later the bath houses were added. In the fall of 1977, at a special meeting of the membership, it was determined that major improvements were need as salt water had done significant damage to the club house foundation. In March, 1978 the club was closed for one year as construction began. The club house foundation was raised 4 feet and other improvements were made.

On May 18, 1997 there was a ribbon cutting ceremony to open the new marina that was dredged to provide 8 feet of depth at low tide. New cement floats were installed, and the number of slips was increased substantially.

In May 2013, coinciding with the Club's 125th Anniversary, RYC completes a major renovation to enhance the clubhouse facilities, create new member spaces, and better serve the members in the future.

The Riverside Yacht Club is, in all its years and in every way, indeed a grand club.

BREAKING: Tarpon Island sells for $152M, setting new lakefront-sale record in Palm Beach

Developer todd michael glaser and investors sell palm beach's only private island, with its renovated-and-expanded mansion..

long island yacht club history

Palm Beach just saw a new lakefront price record set with the $152 million sale of Tarpon Island — the town’s only private island — and its newly renovated-and-expanded mega-mansion . The sale price was reported Friday in the multiple listing service for the property addressed as 10 Tarpon Isle. 

The buyer’s identity has not yet been confirmed by the Palm Beach Daily News, and a deed has not yet been recorded for the transaction at the Palm Beach County Courthouse. But the buyer appears to have already taken occupancy of the estate, according to people familiar with the neighborhood.

Affording panoramic views of the Intracoastal Waterway, the artificial island in the Estate Section measures about 2.3 acres with a combined 1,163 feet of waterfront on all four sides. 

The property was priced at $187.5 million when it sold. It holds the record as the most expensive Palm Beach house ever marketed in the MLS.

The Palm Beach Daily News is the first media outlet to report the sale.

With 11 bedrooms, the two-story mansion has 28,618 total square feet of living space, inside and out. The long list of amenities includes one of the town’s only lighted tennis court and two swimming pools, one of which stretches 98 feet along the lakefront with a whirlpool spa and a “cold plunge” pool. 

Developer Todd Michael Glaser spearheaded the overhaul of the estate —through his eponymous Miami Beach-based real estate company — and led the investment group that just sold the property.

Glaser previously told the Palm Beach Daily News that a confidentiality agreement prevents him and others involved in the sale from discussing the transaction or the buyer. 

Bridge connects Palm Beach's Tarpon Island to the rest of town

But Glaser had previously told the Palm Beach Daily News that Tarpon Island’s location is like no other: “It has its own bridge. How many houses in Palm Beach have a bridge? None,” Glaser said in a December article about the house. 

That picturesque bridge connects the island to the rest of Palm Beach’s Estate Section. The island also is accessible by boat.

Tarpon Island already held the record for the priciest Palm Beach lakefront property ever sold, a distinction it earned when Glaser and his investors bought it for $85 million in the summer of 2021 from its longtime owners, private investor William Toll and his wife, Eileen. 

The reported price of the just-closed sale fell short of Palm Beach's two priciest residential real estate deals, which both closed last year — an off-market sale reported at $170 million for an oceanfront estate at 589 N. County Road; and a private transaction recorded at $155 million for the estate of the late Rush Limbaugh at 1495 N. Ocean Blvd. The deal on North County Road was structured so that the sale price was never documented at the courthouse.

The renovation on Tarpon Island more than doubled the size of the 1930s-era Bermudian-style house on the east side of the property. The project turned that house into a guesthouse with an ultra-luxury fitness-and-beauty area. A new, much-larger addition with the main living areas was built onto the original house in a similar architectural style. The main residence has an expansive living area and a loggia with a fireplace, summer kitchen and bar facing the pool, the well-equipped dock and the water. 

Miami investors on seller's side of Tarpon Island project in Palm Beach

Among the estate’s other features are a five-car garage and an extensive front motor court for parking. Other amenities include a paneled library/office and an entertainment room with a fireplace, wine storage, billiards area and movie lounge. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has two oversize marble-appointed bathrooms, while a separate wing houses guest bedrooms to supplement the VIP suites in the guesthouse.

Glaser’s investors included Jonathan Fryd of Fryd Properties in Miami and developer Scott Robins of Scott Robins Cos. in Miami Beach. Fryd and Robins have invested in other Glaser-controlled projects in Palm Beach and Miami-Dade County, where the developer built his career before turning his attention to buying, building, renovating and selling homes in Palm Beach over the past several years.

There may have been other investors as well, but if so, Glaser has never identified them to the Palm Beach Daily News. 

Real estate agents Suzanne Frisbie of the Corcoran Group and Chris Leavitt of Douglas Elliman Real Estate held the listing. Broker Christian Angle of Christian Angle Real Estate also was involved on the sellers’ side. Frisbie, Leavitt and Angle declined to comment.

Agent Margit Brandt of Premier Estate Properties represented the buyer, the MLS shows. She also declined to comment.

The property had been under contract since the end of March, according to the MLS.

Because no deed for the sale has yet been recorded by the Palm Beach County Clerk’s office, it's unclear if the price to be documented at the courthouse will match the one reported in the MLS.

Palm Beach's Tarpon Island had undergone several price-tag changes

The estate had carried its asking price of $187.5 million since November. But that price was down sharply from the $218 million price tag attached to the property while it was being built. The property was relisted at the lower price during the final stages of construction. 

The estate first entered the market in October 2021 — during the height of Palm Beach’s pandemic-induced real estate boom — with a $125 million price tag that included only the land and renovation plans for the original house. At that time the property also was listed at a pre-construction price of $210 million, which would have included the renovated house, before hitting the high of $218 million.

With a second pool and dock, the repurposed guesthouse’s extensive spa area offers a sauna and steam room, a hair-styling salon and staff quarters. The guesthouse nearly abuts the east property line, "so when you are in the gym, you feel like you are on a yacht," Glaser said previously. 

A focal point of the addition to the west is an octagonal room, rising two stories, that overlooks the tennis court on the far west side of the property. The room can be used for formal dining or as a tennis-viewing pavilion.

Tarpon Island looks down the waterway toward Trump's Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach

Windows, patios, loggias, terraces and the dock on the south side of the house afford views straight down the Intracoastal Waterway for a little more than a mile to the Southern Boulevard Bridge, past former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club. The views also include houses on Everglades Island to the west and in Palm Beach’s Estate Section to the east. 

Architect Roger Janssen of Dailey Janssen Architects drew up the plans for the Tarpon Island project. Christopher Cawley Landscape Architecture designed the grounds. The interior finishes were chosen by Glaser's wife, interior decorator Kim Glaser.

In the $170-million all-time record-setting sale on North County Road, car dealer Michael Cantanucci and his wife, Kimberly, bought the property from coffee mogul Robert Stiller and his wife, Christine. Angle represented the Cantanuccis, negotiating opposite broker Lawrence Moens of Lawrence A. Moens Associates.

The Palm Beach Daily News was unable to confirm if any agents were involved in the $155 million sale of 1495 N. Ocean Blvd.

When Tarpon Island last changed hands in July 2021, the house there had five bedrooms and 12,321 square feet, property records show. The lead agents in that sale were Frisbie, acting for Glaser's group, and agent Jim McCann of Premier Estate Properties, who represented the Tolls. The Tolls had paid a recorded $7.6 million for Tarpon Island in 1998, property records show.

Tarpon Island developer's primary home is in Palm Beach

“This is the most exciting piece of real estate I’ve ever bought and will be able to develop, other than the (historic) Carl Fisher estate in Miami Beach, which I bought in 2005,” Todd Glaser told the Palm Beach Daily News when his group bought Tarpon Island.

Glaser has bought and sold a number of houses in Palm Beach since 2017 — some he renovated and others he built on speculation, often with financing from investors. He and his wife own a landmarked house they renovated in the Estate Section at 125 Via Del Lago , which they have homesteaded as their primary residence in the latest tax rolls. He recently sold a Palm Beach office building that he had used as his family office at 125 Bradley Place.

Glaser made national headlines in 2021 when he bought and razed the former Palm Beach home of the late sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. That same year, he sold that Estate Section lot vacant for a recorded $25.85 million . A new house is nearing completion on the property, which can easily be seen from Tarpon Island. 

The original house on Tarpon Island was completed in December 1939, according to architectural historian Augustus Mayhew. Tarpon Island itself was created by dredging crews in the 1930s. 

Before Glaser broke ground at 10 Tarpon Isle, Frisbie described the project as his “next masterpiece” and said it was “artfully conceived and beautifully embraces Tarpon Island’s iconic history. How often do we get to say ‘once in a lifetime’ and ‘one of a kind’ in the same sentence? This is it.” 

This is a developing story. Check back for any updates. Portions of the story appeared previously in the Palm Beach Daily News.

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

  • Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
  • Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
  • Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
  • Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery and Museum

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

long island yacht club history

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

long island yacht club history

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

long island yacht club history

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

long island yacht club history

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

Royal North Sea Yacht Club

Waarderingen en beoordelingen, meer informatie, locatie en contact.

De yachtclub is een gegeven in Oostende. De ligging aan de haveningang is uniek. Je komt er wel enkel binnen indien je lid bent, of op uitnodiging van een lid. De gerechten zijn copieus en heerlijk, maar ook erg prijzig.

royal north sea yacht club oostende restaurant

Members only. Beetje jammer want een heel mooie kaart met kwaliteitsvolle vis- en vleesgerechten. Mooie ligging, vlotte bediening.

Vraag mij af of het personeel wel een horecadiploma heeft? Barvrouw is zeer ontbeleefd en arrogant. We zagen het rauwe vlees op de grond vallen in de keuken. Basic regels van de horeca ontbraken. Vleesmes geven, peper en zout niet op tafel. Mayonaise kwam toen... de frietjes op waren. Water glazen ontbraken toen de waterflessen op tafel stonden.... Ook lang wachten om 12u binnen pas om 15u3 buiten. Na voorgerecht en hoofdgerecht Meer

De locatie is top, met uitzicht over Oostende, het strand, de pieren, de jachthaven, de werkhaven, de bedrijvigheid op het water. Bij zomerse omstandigheden is het heerlijk toeven op het terras, maar ook binnen is het sfeervol. I.v.m. COVID-19 zijn er binnen stijlvolle schermen geplaatst.... Bediening is ondanks de topdrukte vlot en vriendelijk. Voorgerecht, hoofdgerecht en dessert voldoen allemaal weer aan de verwachtingen. Meer

royal north sea yacht club oostende restaurant

Leuke setting. Een aangename kaart, wel redelijk geprijsd. De bediening kan vriendelijker. Het eten was prima.

Het prachtige weer nodigde ons uit om te lunchen op het terras met uitzicht op de Havengeul. Het eten was dik in orde, grote porties, en prijzen overeenstemmend. Één kleine tegenvaller was de (oudere) dienster die nogal kort, onaangenaam en bruut was ( morsen van... glas water zonder te excuseren). Aan één zaak was te wennen: de crême brulée was volledig warm ( normaal is enkel de bovenkant opgewarmd en de vanille fris) Meer

Zeilend van Nederland richting het zuiden is de haven van de Royal North Sea Yacht Club een heerlijke levendige plek voor een stop. De altijd enthousiaste begroetingen van Simon de havenmeester maken er meteen een feestje van om hier een ligplaats te kiezen. De visafslag,... het strand, de bedrijvigheid van vissersboten, pontjes en zeeschepen maken het echt een gezellige zeehaven. De YACHTCLUB ademt de sfeer van decennia (wedstrijd)zeilen uit. Het restaurant en het prachtig gelegen terras torenen hoog boven het water uit, zodat er altijd in alle richtingen een fantastisch uitzicht is. Ook dit jaar was het echt weer culinair genieten van de borrels op het terras bij de ondergaande zon, het fantastische eten en heerlijke wijnen. Ik noem o.a. de heerlijke oesters op ijs, de lekkerste Vitello Tonato ooit en de malse rib-eye. De vriendelijke en correcte bediening maken het plaatje compleet van deze heerlijke nautische culinaire plek! Meer

Hartelijke dank voor de warme woorden ... Leuk om te mogen noteren dat ons hard werk gewaardeerd word ...door kenners op de hoop toe ! Thanks Tine en haar team .

In het clubhuis van de North Sea Yacht club kan je prima dineren en genieten van het schitterende uitzicht, hetzij over de jachthaven dan wel richting zee. De menu kaart toont zeer klassieke vis- en vlees gerechten. Vriendelijke bediening.

royal north sea yacht club oostende restaurant

Je zit inderdaad op een exclusieve locatie, maar 28 euro voor een handvol gepelde garnalen, een gekookt ei en een gepelde tomaat, een beetje mayonaise uit een pot, en overbakken frietjes (ik twijfel zelfs over diepvries of niet), is er ruim over. Het is begrijpelijk... dat als mensen betaald moeten worden op basis van clubleden, die uiteraard niet alle dagen langskomen, ook al is het een grote club, dan zit je met een cashflow probleem en dat moet opgevangen worden. Wijn ibidem; in principe kan je de aankoop x 3 doen, hier is hij gemiddeld x 7. Ik stel voor nog 3 dagen per week open te doen, en kwaliteit te leveren. Nooit meer. Meer

Super vers vriendelijke bediening zeker door Isabelle en goedkoop prachtig zicht en aangename sfeer.

Quality racing, guaranteed fun !

Welkom bij royal north sea yacht club oostende, royal north sea yacht club oostende.

Eén van de meest dynamische watersportclubs en jachthavens van de Belgische kust

De RNSYC Oostende is in 1946 opgericht door een hechte groep Snipe en Papillon zeilers en is uitgegroeid tot één van de meest dynamische watersportclubs en jachthavens van de Belgische kust. Met een capaciteit van circa 100 ligplaatsen verdeeld over het Montgomerydok, de Churchillkaai en de Visserskaai biedt de RNSYC een unieke locatie aan in hartje Oostende, zowel voor vaste liggers als voor bezoekende jachten.

De club investeert continu in de modernisering van haar infrastructuur en werking. De club is dan ook de thuishaven van de meest actieve wedstrijdvloot zeiljachten langsheen de Belgische kust en is er tevens de draaischijf voor internationale kielboot klassen zoals J24, Draak en SB20 waartoe we beschikken over een eigen botenkraan tot maximaal 2 ton.

Ook bij de zwaardboten komen de internationale eenheidsklassen zoals Laser, Europe en Finn bij onze club steeds sterker aan bod. Door onze locatie aan het “klein strand” van Oostende zijn we perfect gelegen om grote events te huisvesten op loopafstand van het station en het stadscentrum, op 10 km van het vliegveld en op minder dan een kwartier zeilen naar het wedstrijdgebied. Dit alles ondersteund door een slipway, trailerparking en uitgebreide parkeergelegenheid voor wagens en campers in de onmiddellijke omgeving.

Jaarlijks organiseert de RNSYC meer dan 20 regatta’s met nationale en internationale uitstraling onder deskundige leiding van ons toegewijde Race Comité. Ook de woensdagavond wedstrijden in de zomermaanden zijn bijzonder populair. en door de organisatie van het regelmatigheidscriterium Ostend Cup in samenwerking met de Twins Club Bredene en de Ostend Sailing ontstaat een gezonde kruisbestuiving tussen het klassieke zeilen met éénrompsboten en de wereld van multihull’s in beachclubs waar onze leden sporadisch meegenieten van  het surfen, kiten, suppen of zeilwagenrijden.

“Last but not least” heeft de RNSYC samen met de Twins Club recent het initiatief  genomen om een J24 trainingsprogramma te introduceren om leden en toekomstige leden te laten proeven van de Noordzeegolven vanop zeiljachten.

Superb view. Restaurant for members only! Very good Dover sole

Typical not too much hassle marina restaurant with good quality brasserie type food in relaxed atmosphere. Wonderful bouillabaisse and shrimp salad. Great harbour views. Friendly staff.

Just had lunch at this place while racing in the club. To go into the restaurant you need to be a member of a sailing club but I don’t think they check. View out in the harbor is fantastic, fish is well made and fresh.... Service was ok. But honestly speaking the pricing is ridiculous. A Sole mariniere with just Salat and chips for € 33,80 I hardly ever had before. At least not in a sailing club restaurant. Tomorrow’s lunch I will definitely have in one of the many more restaurants around. More

Very poor quality, where the food was rather good in the past, prices are going up and food we got was nearly eatable. Toilets were dirty, no soap, no towel. I was so embarrassed to my friends that I forgot to take pictures.

If a warm welcome or friendly staff reflects the start of a perfect evening well... sorry! This little nervous impolite rude lady made it an unforgettable evening ( in a bad way). Perhaps she doesn’t know who pays her salary nor that she isn’t Royal... ! tssssss shame More

The management should make up it' mind up about the fact if this is a private venue or not. If it is a private venue it has no place in Tripadvisor. I have been sailing for more than 40 years and I have never experienced... such unfriendlyness. The waitress in casual clothes simply refused to serve me claiming that is a private club memebers only. But this members rule does not seem to be so strict as I saw there was a monthly dinner of the Fifty-one club Oostende, for sure not all members of the sailing club. More

Dear Mr JAKKE 1961 , Indeed the Royal North Sea Yacht Club is a private Yacht Club , only accessible for its members and their guests . And yes the RNSYC is the last really on the belgian coast At the 2 possible entrance gates... More

Overpriced for nothing very memorable. Sour service. I thought we had done something wrong but then I saw other reviews. Shame really because one of our diners came a month ago and was very positive. There surroundings are nice, I guess and these are were... comfy! More

I've eaten here many times (always good), but last Monday evening was exceptional. The Cod on mashed potato and spinach was perfect. I never tire of watching the boats coming in and out. When it's warmer the terrace is lovely. If you can get it... in, you'll enjoy yourself. More

We have been here several times over the years. Service is very friendly. The restaurant is a private club so you must be invited by a member to get in. Food is most seafood and fish, only fresh from the market, if they are sold... out they will tell. Nothing out of the freezer. The chef prepares authentic classics but also dishes with a thai touch. And every day they have a very good cheap lunch special. More

The level of service is very much below the line. In a yacht club I would have expected to have a more customer oriented staff. Too bad, I am sorry

RNSYC is always friendly and welcoming - as always the swell from the sea and the boats in the harbour make the basin a bouncy place to be - sometime uncomfortably so. The club facilities are good and the bar cheap. We didn't eat there... this year. More

Awfull food since the former coock has been fired. They even don't know how to prepare fresh belgian fries (as they ran out of the frozen ones)

This Yacht Club requires a membership to get access. Members of foreign Yacht Clubs are welcome. And members can bring guests. It's situated in a top location - the best - in Ostend. The food and service have been consistently outstanding for many years. It's... my favorite place for lunch or dinner because of the quality of the always fresh food, the friendly service, and the gorgeous views on the Yacht Harbor, the city line of Ostend, and the Channel. It is also good value for your money, and the interior is charmingly classic and maritime, very cosy ! More

Delicious local food prepared fresh on the day. Beautiful views of the harbour. Only drawback is that you have to be invited by a member of the Yacht Club to dine there. Luckily I have a friend who is. One of the best food experiences... in Ostend. More

Ate there the once and had a drink twice , both times found the service poor and the staff rude, to be told to stay there and wait was to much, while she sorted the music out, we only wanted to pay the bill! The... food was ok but expensive and the surrounding are nice,I would not go again and would not recommend unless you like to be treated like a univited guest at a private party More

Royal North Sea Yacht Club, Oostende

Hoewel ik al ruim tien jaar in Gent woon, ligt mijn hart nog altijd een beetje in Oostende, waar ik geboren en getogen ben. Collega’s weten me dan ook te vinden als ze een weekendje naar de koningin der badsteden trekken. ‘Waar moet ik zijn om goeie vis te eten?’, is een veelgehoorde vraag. Er is uiteraard de Visserskaai, met haar tientallen visrestaurants. Daar vindt de doorsnee toerist zeker zijn gading. En voor wie het bij een snelle hap wil houden, zijn er de bekende viskraampjes aan de overkant van de straat.

Luxury rules at the moscow yacht show.

royal north sea yacht club oostende restaurant

The windy Russian autumn weather might be a little bit tricky for sailing, but it doesn’t stop brave yachtsmen from all over the world from flocking to Russian capital in the beginning of September when the Moscow Yacht Show commences. The main Russian Yacht exhibition gathers professional and amateur yacht lovers together under the wing of The Royal Yacht Club.

This year it took place for a fourth time already. The exhibition is considered the principal event on the sporting and social calendar. The Moscow Yacht Show 2010 united in one area three of the largest Russian yachts distributors: Ultramarine, Nordmarine and Premium Yachts.

A wide range of yachts were on display for a week. An exhibition showcased yachts both from Russian manufacturers and world famous brands: Azimut, Princess, Ferretti, Pershing, Riviera, Doral, Linssen, etc.

It was a real feast for seafarers as visitors of the show had a unique chance not only to take a look at the newest superyachts before they hit the market, but also to evaluate their driving advantages during the test drive. The show provided an excellent opportunity for yacht enthusiasts to choose and buy a new boat for the next season.

The event started with the grandiose gala evening. It included grand dinner, the concert and professional awards ceremony for achievements in Russian yachting industry. The guests also enjoyed the annual regatta.

Special guest Paolo Vitelli, Azimut Benetti Group president, opened the evening.

Next year organizers assured guests they would bring more yachts, the scale of which will even make oligarch Roman Abramovich envious. Sounds very promising indeed.

St. Mary’s College of Maryland Graduates 356 at 2024 Commencement

Graduates in cap & gown carrying diplomas

St. Mary’s College of Maryland, the National Public Honors College, graduated 356 students with Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts in Teaching degrees on Saturday, May 11, outdoors on the campus’ Townhouse Green. 

Maryland’s longest-serving member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (D-MD 5th) delivered the keynote address. In his message to the College's newest alumni, he spoke of the impact the pandemic had on this class of students and the significance of the class of 2024 being together amongst family, friends, faculty and staff for the commencement exercises. He said he brought up the pandemic not to focus on what was lost but to reflect on what was gained.

"For while your generation knows better than any other the pain of being apart, you also know better than any other the joy that comes with joining together," Hoyer said. "Because you felt the sorrow of separation, you understand the importance of inclusion.You saw the devastation of distance, and now you have special appreciation for the pleasure of proximity." 

Hoyer received an honorary degree from St. Mary’s College in 1993, at his first appearance as commencement speaker. Hoyer also spoke before the class of 2007.

President Tuajuanda C. Jordan, accompanied by Board of Trustees Chair Susan Dyer, presented an honorary degree to national higher education leader Lynn Pasquerella. 

Since 2016, Pasquerella has been president of the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U). Prior to her position as president of AAC&U, she was president of Mount Holyoke College; provost at the University of Hartford; and vice provost for academic affairs and dean of the graduate school at the University of Rhode Island, where she taught for more than 20 years.

She earned her PhD in philosophy from Brown University; undergraduate degree from Mount Holyoke College; and associate of arts degree from Quinebaug Valley Community College. 

President Jordan had one request for the Class of 2024. “Recognize and understand the society into which you are now venturing. Give back. Remember the people who have not had the same opportunity, the same blessings, the same education you have. Live the St. Mary’s Way.”

The College’s newest alumni heard from one of the five class valedictorians. The valedictorians were: Sabrina Kuhn, Laura McCarty, Margaret Neuman, Angelie Roche and Ben Springer.

Kuhn was selected to address the class via lottery. She spoke of how she and many classmates grew into adulthood during a time of “great uncertainty,” speaking of experiencing that transition amidst a global pandemic. “The fact that we all made it to graduation here today is a testament to the resilience of our generation,” Kuhn said. Kuhn charged the class to “go forward courageously, armed with knowledge and compassion from your time here, to make the world a better place.”

President Jordan recognized six faculty who retired this year: Karen Crawford, professor of biology; David Ellsworth, associate professor of film and media studies; Rachel Myerowitz, professor of biology; Elizabeth Osborn, professor of sociology; Larry Vote, professor of music; and Christine Wooley, professor of English. Collectively, these retirees represent 161 years of teaching. 

The commencement was live-streamed on the College’s website.
