PPRREESSIIDDEENNTT’’SS MMEESSSSAAGGEEThis year marks our 100th anniversary

– 100 years of having a great time“…messing about in boats”

. I would like tohonor all the volunteers who over theyears have given their time and effort tothe Association and to the wonderful sportof competitive sailing.

Recently, I rummaged through boxes ofpapers and pictures collected over theyears by my family – mostly by my father,Ted Everitt, President of GSBYRA from1944 to 1946, and my mother Billie. In 1962my father celebrated 50 years of compet-itive sailing on the Bay. I discovered adraft of remarks my father made aboutGSBYRA at some point after World War II.He said that prior to 1906 there was someracing on the Bay but that it was “…notvery well organized, little regard to rulesand mostly in the hands of the ‘pros’.” In aflourish of sailing activity at the turn of thelast century many of our Clubs on the baywere founded during that period. BellportBay Yacht Club, of which both my fatherand I were Commodores, celebrates its100th anniversary this year as well. Myfather commented that GSBYRA helpedspur one-design sailing. Most racing was atthe Club level. What we know as “RaceWeek” was the one time that boats fromother Clubs gathered and sailed againsteach other. Inter club competition grewinto the invitational regattas we knowtoday. My father always said thatGSBYRA was the organization that sus-tains competitive sailing on the Bay.

Over the years the ebb and flow ofclasses often reflected the times, changes intechnology, and life style. When I putdown that dusty folder and that roughdraft, I wanted to share a couple of points.First and foremost my father mentionedthe importance of fellowship and friend-ships made up and down the Bay. Weshould not lose sight of the fact that thesocial aspect of this sport is of key impor-tance. Second, there always are changesand new challenges that come along.What has been a sustaining factor hasbeen the dedication of those individuals inour sailing community who are willing toinvest in the time and effort “to keep theshow on the road.”

To mark the 100th anniversary wehave three events. We kick the year off atthe spring dinner at Moriches Yacht Club.We plan to make this year’s Race Week aregatta to remember with special socialevents. Our final event is celebration atthe Long Island Maritime Museum onSaturday, September 30th to honor ourpast presidents and to raise funds for ournew Flying Scot championship boats andsails. We encourage everyone to turn outboth for the racing and the social activi-ties.

For the centennial celebration of GreatSouth Bay Yacht Racing Association, thisyearbook is expanded to include some his-torical information about the Associationand Race Week, and highlights someplanned special events. It contains theusual current schedule of Championship,Invitation and Fleet events on Great SouthBay, lists of contacts, and the previous tro-phy winners. It serves as guide to theAssociation and reminds us that the futurerests solidly upon the foundation of the

past, and that this organization constantlyevolves. Reflection on past and currentefforts, influences and personalities instillsan appreciation for the accomplishmentsof the Association and the dedication of allvolunteers involved. Realize that a freshsupply of volunteers to lead theAssociation into the future requires a com-mitment to infuse current sailors withexcitement, a desire to give somethingback to the sport they love, and the con-tinued preservation of history.

Support the Association centennial celebration withparticipation at all the social events and races.

Racing on Great South Bay emerged inthe late 1880s when wealthy Brooklyn andNew York yachtsman who summered inthe area, and local, year-round resident,trade sailors, who often acted as paidskippers, raced against each other. Theirshallow-draft boats, built either by profes-sional or amateur builders, competed inseparate classes rated by length. Theseearly classes, the larger P, Q and R classes,and the smaller V, W, and X catboats suit-ed the shoal water of Great South Bay.

The Great South Bay Yacht RacingAssociation was founded on September 27,1906 at a meeting held at the formerPenataquit Corinthian Yacht Club in BayShore called by J. Adolf Mollenhauer,Commodore of Penataquit. AttendeesWilliam Candee of Penataquit, AlexanderN. Cook of Bellport Bay Yacht Club,Francis Williams and Edward Bleecker ofUnqua Corinthian Yacht Club, CharlesSearle and Joseph W. Lawrence ofBabylon Yacht Club, and Joseph Wood

and Dr. George E. Rice of South Side YachtClub in Sayville recognized the need tounite local yacht clubs and promote moreorganized racing. Mollenhauer was elect-ed the first President and Lawrence waselected Secretary and Treasurer. Soonthese original member clubs were joinedby South Shore Yacht Club in Patchogue.In the early days of the Association, deci-sions were made by representatives calledDelegates from each Member Club andthe Officers and Chairmen of Committees.

During the period of time in which theearly Member Clubs formed the GreatSouth Bay Yacht Racing Association, sev-eral common currents surfaced. Clubsoriginated with similar purposes thatencouraged members to become profi-cient in handling their yachts, promotedsociability and recreation among mem-bers, and provided a base for sailing activ-ity. Membership in these early clubs wasoriginally limited to men, who raced simi-lar yachts in separate classes. These early

classes were either large and sloop-rigged,or small and cat-rigged at these clubs. Ateach club some strong personalities desir-ing the fastest boat for racing emergedand strong social ties were formed. Theseearly racing sailors on Great South Bayunderstood the necessity to link individualsand their clubs together. A Constitutionand By-Laws provided each Member Cluband the Association with the authorityand rules to operate and organize a mul-titude of racing opportunities whichformed many traditions. Clubs and theAssociation provided elaborate, engraved,silver prizes. A Registry of yachts was pub-lished each year and handicaps wereestablished and published. A 6 by 9 inchRace Week pamphlet, eventually tobecome a small book, was published year-ly. The first annual cruise week began in1907.

Many perpetual Association trophieswere established during the 1920’s. It hadoften been tradition to retire a trophyafter the same person won it three times.As a result, many early perpetual trophiesdo not remain in the possession of theAssociation. In 1920 the Association estab-lished a Special Prize for Race Week,which was awarded to the yacht makingthe fastest time over the course at Sayville.It was won by Constance a P Class yacht.Subsequent winners were: 1921 Eagle, 1922Dixie, 1923 Bee, 1924 Invader, 1925 Avis,1926 Eskawaja, 1927 Constance, 1928 Avis,1929 Edna, 1930 Edna, 1931 Windward II,1932, 1933, 1934, and 1935 Constance, andDuncan Arnold. In 1922, the YachtSquadron of Westhampton left the YachtRacing Association of Southeastern LongIsland to join GSBYRA.

In 1927, the first advertisementappeared on the back cover of theAssociation year book to help defray thepublishing cost. That year, the Associationawarded a gold perpetual cup, the FireIsland Cup, to a registered yacht receivingthe greatest number of points in her classin Race Week, provided 4 boats startedand finished in class in 5 scheduled races.Recorded winners were: 1927 Montauk,1928 Torrup II, 1929 Torrup II, 1930 Buddy

Smith in M class sloop, and 1931 BuddySmith in M class sloop.

The Gil Smith Perpetual Trophy wasgiven by owners of P Class boats for the Pboat with largest number of points duringinvitations and cruise week. Recordedwinners included 1929 Edna, 1930 Edna,and 1931 Constance. The Brown’s RiverTrophy was given by Sayville to the yachtwith the best performance during RaceWeek by selecting only the score from theyacht’s single best race. The CommodoreGeorge A. Corry Trophy (father andorganizer of Star Class) was established forthe Star class in 1929. Recorded winnerswere: 1929 Budsal II Frank Robinson, 1930Wings C. & J. Pflug, 1931 Wings C. & J. Pflug,1932, 1933, 1934, 1935 H. Meislan and L. R.Bowdan, Jr, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1940Draco II, skipper Edward V. Ketcham, Jr.

By the 25th anniversary of theAssociation, twelve member clubs on thebay extended from Freeport to Quogue.Under the leadership of President EdwardV. Ketcham, the 1931 member clubs includ-ed Babylon Yacht Club (1906), Bay ShoreYacht Club (1906), Bellport Bay YachtClub (1906), Cedarhurst Yacht Club, FireIsland Yacht Club (1927), Point O’ WoodsYacht Club, Sayville Yacht Club,Shinnecock Yacht Club (1930), SouthShore Yacht Club (1907), Timber PointYacht Club (1926), Unqua CorinthianYacht Club (1906), and Yacht Squadron ofWesthampton.

The Association as a member of theNorth American Yacht Racing Union pub-lished the rules of racing in the yearbook.When NAYRU established junior triple-handed and women’s championship com-petitions, the Association formed theGulden and Morgan competitions. TheGulden Trophy, donated by CommodoreFrank Gulden for the junior championshipand the Morgan Bowl, donated by HenryMorgan for the women’s championship,were engraved and medals were given tothe winners to keep. Commodore WilliamH. Picken donated a perpetual trophy forchildren younger than juniors, for a midgetchampionship. The Association took initia-


7

tive to form the Picken Championship,and then established an eight AssociationChampionship for the Great South BayBowl.

A 1936 Association year book listed classcaptain orders for race week etiquette;and advertising paragraphs of tips “Fromthe Crows Nest” by Skippers Mate. In theStar Class, if 20 or more Stars raced, 2 sec-tions were made. Skippers needed tocheck the yacht club bulletin boards dailyfor section assignments to a division. Thefirst division boats were required to carry awhite pennant 4 by 12 inch streamer ontheir boom.

Another perpetual trophy, the HarryGrowtage Memorial Cup, for the fastestcorrected time over a designated course tobe sailed in a Labor Day Regatta wasestablished in 1939. Requirements includedthat the race be held under the auspices ofa GSBYRA Member Club, confined torestricted classes, and only boats havingentered and completed a race in at least 4Invitation regattas during the season wereeligible. It replaced the retired Queen ofthe Bay Cup. In 1940 it was awarded toQuerida, an R Class boat from Babylon.

By the 50th anniversary of the Associa-tion, fourteen member clubs comprisedthe roster under President E. CarletonArink. In 1956 the member clubs includedBabylon Yacht Club, Bayberry YachtClub, Bay Shore Yacht Club, Bellport BayYacht Club, Cedarhurst Yacht Club,Domino Yacht Club, Moriches Yacht Club,Narrasketuck Yacht Club, Point O’ WoodsYacht Squadron, Quantuck Yacht Club,Sayville Yacht Club, Shinnecock YachtClub, South Bay Cruising Club, andWesthampton Yacht Squadron. TheAssociation followed the lead of NAYRUand established a men’s competition forthe Fenner Championship.

In an innovative move in 1964, theAssociation purchased 8 Mobjacks forchampionship competition for the triple-handed events. It was one of the fewAssociations to own boats. Competition inthe Association often had to be divided

into an east and west sub division with thehigh number of competitors. The Mobjackfleet was originally kept in the marshyarea now the Maritime Museum, movedto the Snapper Inn, moved again toMoriches Yacht Club, and finally moved toLong Island Yacht Club in 1973.

The Association responded to NAYRUestablishing single-handed competitionsfor juniors and for adults and establishedthe local Shinnecock and WestinChampionships. In 1975 NAYRU changedits name to the United States YachtRacing Union and the Association becamea member of USYRU. In 1978, theAssociation embarked on a three yearfund raising initiative to purchase 6 newMobjacks to replace the aging originalfleet. Magoun Landing, a local propertyowners group, joined the Association as amember in 1980.

By the 75th anniversary of theAssociation, seventeen member clubscomprised the roster under PresidentWilliam B. Ludlum. In 1981 the memberclubs included Babylon Yacht Club,Bayberry Yacht Club, Bay Shore YachtClub, Bellport Bay Yacht Club, CedarhurstYacht Club, Hempstead Bay Yacht Club,Long Island Yacht Club, Magoun LandingYacht Club, Moriches Yacht Club,Narrasketuck Yacht Club, Point O’ WoodsYacht Squadron, Saltaire Yacht Club,Sayville Yacht Club, South Bay CruisingClub, Unqua Corinthian Yacht Club,Westhampton Yacht Squadron, and WetPants Sailing Association. Finally in 1981,the Association purchased new Mobjackswith donations received from ten clubs.Babylon, Bayberry, Bay Shore, BellportBay, Hempstead Bay, Moriches,Narrasketuck, Sayville, Wet Pants andWesthampton, plus about three dozenindividuals made donations.

More changes took place. As a memberof USYRU, the Association established amatch race competition as the FurmanChampionship and a double-handed jun-ior competition as the Patin Champion-ship. Membership in the Association rose toeighteen clubs in 1982 when Hobie Fleet

124 joined as a member. The Associationadded a $10 sustaining membership cate-gory. In an innovative move in 1987,President Glenn Schmidt established aGSBYRA Scholarship Fund. From contri-butions to the fund, the first sailing grantswere awarded to three recipients in 1988.When USYRU evolved into US SAILING in1991, Association membership transferredto the newly named national organiza-tion. Bay Shore Yacht Club provided thehome base for the Association ownedMobjacks in 1992. The Association estab-lished the Orr Championship in 1993 as amember of the eight-member MidgetAssociation that created a single-handedcompetition. Eight clubs sponsored Fridayjunior regattas in 1993. In 1997 theOptimist replaced the Sunfish for the Orrmidget championship. Then both HobieFleet 124 and Magoun Landing disbandedand left the Association in 2002, twentyyears after joining. The Association devel-oped a website in 2004 to aid communi-cation. And finally the club 420 replacedthe Mobjack for the Picken midget cham-pionship in 2005.

For the 100th anniversary sixteen clubsremain members of the Association head-ed by President John Everitt. Their dedica-tion supports more improvements forsailors on Great South Bay. Considerationwas given to replace the aging Mobjackchampionship fleet. Fundraising to pur-chase 2 Flying Scots and 10 identical suitsof sails for the Association begins andMember Clubs are encouraged to pur-chase a Flying Scot for their club. In 2007the Gulden, Fenner, Furman, and MorganChampionships will be held in Flying Scotsusing Association owned sails that willsport sponsor advertising and will be usedonly for those events. Amendments to theBy-Laws are being reworked to createnew membership categories.

The ebb and flow of similarities andconstant change created one hundredyears of historic and exalted competitionon Great South Bay. Competition floodedthe bay with enough boats to promote thedevelopment of one design rules for build-ing yachts. Management of class competi-

tion surged within and among memberclubs. Races run at various clubs led to anorganized schedule to be agreed upon.Dominant personalities emerged andcamaraderie swelled as members traveledand bonded at single day to week long,week end and multiple day events.Uniforms distinguished Committees andOfficers from competitors. Innovativedesign and different boat building materi-als spawned the change from gaff rig toMarconi rig, from cotton sail to Dacron sail,from wood hull to fiberglass hull, fromwood spar, rudder, centerboard, and tillerto aluminum spar, rudder, centerboardand tiller, from displacement hull to plan-ning hull, from single-hull to multiple-hull,and eventually to include carbon fibereverywhere. A few changes overwhelmedand submerged some clubs and classesinto extinction. And finally, a lofty changeemerged from the coalition of clubs andstrong personalities to recognize femaleparticipation and leadership within theclubs that spilled over into the Association.Changes are inevitable.

Standish Medina, author of A History ofWesthampton Yacht Squadron 1890-1965,quotes Mrs. McClintock. “Just as sailing wasthe basis of that life, so racing was the thrillor it: All talk was of sail area, overalllength, time allowance, every phase ofracing receiving the keenest attention. Forthat was no idle, lightminded sport, andeach youthful captain was out to win - infact, was sure he would win”. “The boatbuilt, next in importance was the selectionof crew, and no skipper worthy of thename chose his crew for friendship’s sakealone but scoured about for bluff andheavy tars who were light on their feet,strong in their arms and (with 3-reef galesin mind) a bit on the plump side. The crewsecured, there began practice; in fairweather and in foul, in blistering calm andin drenching gale, all to get them attunedto the idiosyncrasies of the boat, to knowwhen, in a calm, to lie flat and light in thecockpit, scarcely breathing, and when, in agale, to throw themselves, heavy andtense on their luckless stomachs, far overthe side and let the waves wash wherethey would.”

HHIISSTTOORRYY OOFF GGSSBBYYRRAA CCLLUUBBSSIn the following brief histories of current

Member Clubs of the Association, thetenacious spirit of early founders and rac-ers and their love of sailing anchorAssociation history. Without a doubt,additional personalities, classes and clubswill launch more historic evolution onGreat South Bay to continue the saga ofthe Association.

Babylon Yacht Club organized in1903 originated as a 15 square feet, singleroom gazebo located on SumpwamsPoint. Members elected J.S.S. Remsen thefirst Commodore in 1904. At that clubhouse Babylon held its first regatta thatsummer, and in 1905 the first Fourth ofJuly Regatta. About a dozen yachts inthree classes competed in each event. In1907 members purchased just over an acreof land, now the Babylon Municipal Dock,and constructed a new building for$3,700. Members developed an early class,the Babylon One Design, a historic 24 footboat. In 1926 the club exchanged theirland by the Municipal Dock for the landowned by a real estate firm plus an addi-tional $10,000. The new site contained abath house, which later became the JuniorYacht Club building. Members used themoney from the developer to float abuilding across the cove by barge to thenew site. A sudden squall almost deposit-ed the building on the bay bottom. Afterthe move, the club built a filled in pier for$5,000 to form a harbor. The clubexpanded the building over the years. Theopen deck with a commanding view waskept to observe races. For many years,races finished between a barrel and a flagpole on the dock. Members raced Snipeand Narrasketuck classes, and in the mid1950’s built 25 Blue Jays for children learn-ing to sail. The Blue Jay remained the mostpopular race class for many years. In 1964the club added a pool to the propertyafter closing the beach. Hurricane Gloriadisrupted the 1985 social season anddestroyed the pool. In 1986 the pool wasreplaced and club membership opened toinclude women. During the 1980’s 14 mem-bers owned and raced Lasers. In the late1990’s the Optimist, the class boat for les-sons, and PHRF boats dominated races.

2004 marked the completion of severalprojects that included pool renovation,installation of a new fire and burglaralarm system, a gas fireplace, a handicapramp, and yard and flag pole lighting. Along term plan to upgrade the interior ofthe club house includes installing a firesprinkler system, electric and plumbingupgrades, insulation, new walls and ceil-ings and a heating system.

Bayberry Yacht Club organized inorganized in 1948 by Mr. and Mrs. HoraceHavemeyer, Jr., the Daniel Catlin, AnsonBeard, and Charles Tenney families whoran it from the Havemeyer BayberryPoint home, the club pledged to be exclu-sively designed to teach children ages 7 -16the skill of sailing. Havemeyer, a greatnephew of GSBYRA founder J. AdolfMollenhauer, was elected the firstCommodore. The families all ownedNarrasketucks and Beatle Cats. On March4, 1949, the Havemeyer family donated abuilding lot near their home to be used asthe club's new site. The land had ade-quate dockage on a wide canal that couldeasily accommodate a small fleet of boats.Preparation for the new club groundsbegan with the purchase and installationof a prefab building to be used as a club-house. After several Beetle Cat sailboatswere ordered, the club was ready for stu-dents. In June, 1949, the club beganinstructional sailing on its present site with21 member families and 12 students.Bayberry began the 1949 sailing seasonwith the burgee adopted from the formerIslip Yacht Club that was organized in1909 to promote one-design racing onGreat South Bay. The Havemeyer familywas one of the Islip Yacht Club's ten origi-nal member families, as were the equallysocially prominent, Hollins and Belmontfamilies. The Islip Yacht Club sponsoredthe building of the Islip One-Design boat,a 21-foot streamlined boat raced on GreatSouth Bay until 1914. The boats were longgone by the time Bayberry Yacht Clubwas born. Bayberry and its Beetle Catfleet continued to grow. In 1955, Bayberryhosted its first invitational Beetle Catregatta. Eventually, the Beetle Cat wentthe way of the Islip One-Design to be

10

replaced by Mercury class sailboats, whichwere first added to the fleet in 1966 andremain part of the instructional fleet atthe club to this day. 1991 became a turningpoint for the club, as forty-two seasons ofuse began to take a toll on the grounds,and safety issues concerned many mem-bers. A bond issue was created to raisemoney for improvements. The moniesraised were used to tidy up the propertyand rebuild the original dock, adding 10dock slips that could accommodate largesailboats. The same year the annualInvitational Regatta was renamed "AllDay on The Bay" and offered a weekendof sailing competition for several boatclasses. The club has been a place whereinstructors and students honed their com-petitive skills on local waters. However, forseveral past members, competitionevolved to sailing in waters which offereddifferent challenges and included sailing inthe esteemed America’s Cup races. In 1976,Richard E. Boyd Jr., served as starboardsail-trimmer on mogul Ted Turner's yacht,Courageous, and helped to successfullydefend the America's Cup. In 1983, ToddRaynor, another former Club memberand an instructor, met a similar challengeaboard Dennis Connor's yacht, Liberty,which lost to Australia. These Bayberrysailors perpetuated a local America's Cuptradition. In 1881, N.C. Clock defended theAmerica’s Cup as did Hank Haff in 1887and 1895.Today, Bayberry's young skip-pers and crew continue to use the originallittle wood-frame clubhouse as their base.The 1997 sailing season had an Optimistsailboat added to the fleet, and the 1998season opened with three 420s added tothe instructional fleet, as well. Memberselected Jaime Stickney the first femaleCommodore in 2004.

Bay Shore Yacht Club organizedoriginally in 1883 by about 20 memberswho summered in the area was reorgan-ized in 1890 to include more local year-round residents. Members met in a roomover Gibson’s Pharmacy on Main Street inBay Shore and built a small club house onFire Island. When membership explodedto over 100 members by 1895, membersplanned a new club on Main Street to

include a bowling alley, a billiard room,and a room for card playing and reading.Dissention about the club becoming toosocial and placing too little emphasis onyachting led Commodore Harry MortimerBrewster to form a splinter group namedthe Penataquit Corinthian Yacht Club in1896. A club building on piles was begunover the water between Ocean andClinton Avenues at Jacob’s Dock forPenataquit members. The old Bay ShoreYacht Club dissolved in 1897, never havingbuilt a club house. Penataquit CorinthianClub absorbed the Great South Bay YachtClub, which had been organized in 1889 byAlan Swan of Brooklyn and had no clubhouse for its rapidly growing membership.Thus in 1899 Commodore J. AdolfMollenauer financed and purchased threeand a half acres on Penataquit Point,then known as Sand’s Point. During 1900Mollenauer built a new, two story clubhouse and moved the original buildingwest to serve as a sailing annex with 15dinghies. Yachting and formality reacheda zenith when by-laws prescribed dressregulation uniforms for members, and theannual meeting was held at the sociallyelite St. George Hotel in Brooklyn.Penataquit dissolved in 1909 and the BayShore Motor Boat Club formed in 1910with many former Penataquit members.On July 5, 1912 the Bay Shore Motor BoatClub acquired land on Ocean Avenue andconstructed a two club house. In 1924 abulkhead and fill extended the property200 feet further into the bay to allow con-struction of a second larger building. Thename was changed to Bay Shore YachtClub in 1928. The club prospered until theDepression and World War II decreasedmembership. The property fell into disre-pair and was sold in 1947, with the originalbuilding moved to Fire Island and thenewer one moved adjacent to CaptainBill’s Restaurant. The club became insol-vent. When the Town of Islip built the BayShore Marina in 1959, Town officialsinformed the club that a place for a YachtClub had been planned. With a bond issueand a generous gift from the Thorne fam-ily, the club purchased an unused buildingfrom Southward Ho Country Club andmoved it to the end of the Ocean Avenue

From 1960 to 1970 clubsailing grew in the Blue Jay, Cottontail,Mercury, Sunfish, Raven and Lightningclasses and harbor congestion increased.Commodore Jack Saxe and ViceCommodore George Young negotiated adeed of gift from Landon Thorne, Sr., whodonated the southeast corner of his estate.A basin was dredged after acquiring twoadditional acres from Thorne. The oldSouthward Ho building was floated bybarge to the site and eventually becamethe Junior Yacht Club. A building programbegan and in 1974 Commodore Ed Heinenhoisted the burgee over a new building onthe site. When membership expanded inthe 1980’s, the Commodore’s Room, a dec-orative cupola, an entrance gate, a newwing, and several outbuildings wereadded. Dave Faber & Glenn Schmidtdeveloped the fiberglass version of theNarrasketuck. In 2000, Melodie Linekinwas elected first female Commodore.

Bellport Bay Yacht Club organizedon July 26, 1906 by an appointedCommittee of Fifteen on Organization towrite and present a Constitution and By-Laws for the club, met at the GoldthwaiteInn. The newly formed club elected IsaacSnedeker Commodore and headquar-tered at the club house on the old GolfLinks at the foot of what is now AcademyLane. August 4, 1906 a dozen boats inthree classes raced the first race, a threetimes around course in a fresh southwest-erly breeze. Elvira, a P Class yacht current-ly being refurbished by the Carmen’s RiverMaritime Center in Brookhaven, crossedthe finish line first to be later disqualifiedfor a rule infraction. August 11, 1906 fea-tured a Ladies Race in catboats won byMiss Marion Brown skippering Chiquita,who won again the following week end. In1921 by an act of the Assembly of the Stateof New York, members leased property onthe dock, at the foot of Bellport Lane,from the Village of Bellport. Memberserected a building. During the early years,the AA Catboat, originated by HarryGrowtage and built by Gil Smith, and theBellport Bay One Design dominated races

until the Interclub Class, with 30 boatsbuilt in 1927. By 1927 Commodore PaulBigelow procured the charter for the firstStar Fleet on Great South Bay and com-peted in his Star. During the 1930’s a gen-eration of Bellport children, especially JoanEarle dominated races on Great SouthBay from Babylon to Westhampton in theCC Class, a Cape Cod Knockabout. TheTimber Point Class for junior sailors wasintroduced 1935. After the hurricane of1938 knocked the club house apart, mem-bers repaired it. Subsequent classes racedat the club included 22 Narrasketucks foradult racing in 1940, and by 1952, 16 BeetleCats raced by children. Throughout the1950’s and 1960’s, classes included the Staruntil 1968, Thistle and Raven. Club mem-bers built many class boats through thefollowing years. During the winter of 1957,14 Bellport men built 17 Blue Jays for jun-iors. Ed Laviano built 18 Windmills in 1962.At that time, 3 juniors raced Jet 14’s. By1970 racing declined at the club and thetraditional Labor Day Regatta was notheld at Bellport. With increased participa-tion in 1975, club evening races peakedwith 15 Hobie 16 catamarans and a dozenSunfish that members purchased from Edand Sally Laviano’s business. That yearCommodore John Dowd won the Hobie 16Division 12 Championship hosted byBellport. After a huge crowd ran to theeast side of the front porch to watch sever-al friends throw him into the bay in cele-bration, the front porch partially col-lapsed. Members repaired the buildingand in 1979 improved the kitchen withcabinets, a sink and appliances. By 1980 adozen Tornado class catamarans, intro-duced by Laviano, raced in Bellport. In1986 Commodore John Everitt oversawtemporarily moving the club house north,then moving it back atop newly drivenpilings. In 1993, thermal windows wereinstalled. By the mid 1990’s PHRF Classboats dominated evening races. In 1994,Larry Deering, John Everitt, Charlie Flaggand Russ Pearson built 15 Optimists, 3 ofwhich became instructional boats and theothers owned individually. Soon theOptimist Class, single-handed by childrenas young as 7, eclipsed the PHRF boats inevening races. During the mid 1990’s, the

13

club installed a new hoist. Members elect-ed MaryAnn Deering the first femaleCommodore in 1995. The club hosted 3huge Optimist events, The New York StateChampionship, the Atlantic CoastChampionship and the NationalChampionship. The club formed theBellport Bay Sailing Foundation, a sepa-rate 501 c3 entity for sailing lessons in 1999.During 2003-2004 under CommodoreEdmund Laviano, major interior renova-tions improved the bathrooms, kitchenand décor with new dry wall, wainscoting,window trim, stone floors, electricalupgrade and rewiring, and lighting.

Cedarhurst Yacht Club organized inMarch 1909 by D. H. Cox, Albert Francke,Lawrence Greer, Rene La Montagne,Effingham Lawrence, G. Clinton Miller,Alfred L. Norris, Eben Stevens, LindsleyTappin, William R. K. Taylor, and WilliamS. Whitehead, the group electedWhitehead the first Commodore. A leaseagreement with the community and own-ers of the Isle of Wight located on themarshes between Bannister and CrookedCreeks secured a location for the club.Second Commodore D. H. Cox arrangedfor the club house to be towed across NewYork Harbor to approximately her presentsite. The houseboat built around 1910 forthe Jacobs’s family and designed by Coxand Stevens was built at City Island.During the early years the Rater, a Coxand Stevens design, was introduced to theclub. There were also four small yawls andvarious other craft. The club existed for thefounders and their peers, the young mere-ly acted as crew when commanded.Eventually Harold Wadsworth, althoughnot a designated sailing instructor, organ-ized sailing races for the youngsters andtaught swimming. In 1923 club member-ship included 164 members and 2 honorarymembers. Older members raced in 22Knockabouts, 6 O Class catboats, andyounger members raced seventeen 15 footcatboats. The larger boats raced outsidethe inlet off Far Rockaway on a triangular6.5 mile course. That year the team ofDaniel T. Cox, Herrick Low, and LevinMarshall represented CYC at the EasternYacht Club at Marblehead. Team racing

had started against Seawanhaka.Cedarhusrt Yacht Club did not win eitherevent. On Labor Day an annual sports fes-tival that featured swimming, diving,canoe-tilting and tube races was held. Asthe 1920s progressed, a growing number ofpower boats were introduced to the club.The new class, the Sneakbox, supersededthe older catboats, and about 1929 sever-al Atlantic Class deep-keel sloops, intro-duced from Germany through the impe-tus of Porter Buck, mostly raced outside.After the Atlantic Beach Bridge was built,these boats were towed through thebridge on Sundays. At the end of the 1920sa rapidly growing fleet required an equiv-alent infrastructure. Several launchesserved an anchorage that was crowdedup to the Reynolds’ Channel fairway. Theclub house, located east of the catwalkuntil World War II, was staffed by theSteward’s Department and tea wasalways served after the races Saturdayand Sunday. Swimming rope-lines werelaid between certain floats and mostbeginners learned to swim either there orat the LBC ferry dock on the Channel sideof Atlantic Beach. The club house lay suf-ficiently offshore with dinghies and smallersailboats, often belonging to the largercraft at the anchorage, moored betweenit and the shore. The Depression reducedthe number of members. A Junior YachtClub, with its own one-room club houseand burgee was started in the early 1930’sand Jack Ijams, Jr. elected Commodore.The Crooked Creek Race held annually forSneakboxes began around this time. Allrules were suspended, paddles were usedto propel the boats and as weapons; andsome rugged boats were dragged over-land. The Zephyr class joined in 1937, inlimited numbers. The Rater and O Classboats succumbed to the hurricane of 1938,to be replaced by a limited number ofLightning class boats in 1939 and theComet class somewhat later. TheSneakbox never made it through the war,and in 1941 club officials examined frost-bite dinghies, settling on the Wild Cat orWood-Pussy in 1945. World War II yearswere marked by recurring shortages oflabor and gas. Launch service was sus-pended and row boats substituted,


HHIISSTTOORRYY OOFF GGSSBBYYRRAA CCLLUUBBSSalthough the emergency boat Spare Timewas allocated some gas. Laura and FlyingClam, Gannet, Grayleg, and Cyemba,Lucky Strike and Alibi no longer gracedtheir moorings. Limited sailboat racingwithin sight of the Club took place. Thehouseboat was beached for awhile, but in1943 moved back halfway to the floats asa compromise. During the first post-warseason of 1946, a preliminary plan for anew club house was shelved because ofthe uncertainty of bidders as to the cost oflabor and materials and the team ofCaptain Fred Wicht, Tom Colmar and JoeWiitra was hired to rebuild the houseboat.Mr. and Mrs. J. Horton Ijams refurbishedthe main clubroom as a memorial to theirson, First Lt. John H. Ijams, Jr. The clubencouraged youngsters to learn to sail anda succession of small boats with one sail forthe beginner began. The Tech dinghyarrived as a class in 1955 and the JuniorYacht Club program under Dick Koehnebegan as a comprehensive training courseheld on a regular basis with many innova-tions and changes. With the Tech Dinghycame Dinghy Suppers held after races inthe evening. The post race suppers out-lived the dinghies and the races, andremain a popular, sold out event today. In1959, after a horrendous struggle with theTown of Hempstead, additional pilingswere driven south of the houseboat andfloats were added. In 1963, the Norrisgarage was moved to its present locationto replace the Captains’ shack, which hadburned down the year before. In 1960more sophisticated boats, five Blue Jaysand later, ten 420’s were added to thefleet. Cougar Cats were brought in bymembers in 1962 and five were operatingin 1968. The Cats traveled easily and dur-ing that time the club produced twoNational Cougar Cat Champions, WarrenCrunden at Baltimore 1965 and PortCredit, Ontario, 1976, and Arthur Murrayat Cedarhurst, the host club in 1966. Atone point in 1965, a proposal to open theclub; to modernize and develop a com-mercial enterprise was made. The mem-bers decided to continue to be a low-keycommunity club, with modest facilities,low dues, and a limited membership. TheSunfish and Sailfish classes arrived in the

early 70’s. At various times with permissionof the Isle of Wight Association, duneshave been reinforced and bulk heading toprevent land erosion. The road to the cluband the adjacent parking spaces havebeen graded and resurfaced. In the mid1970’s, under the stewardship ofCommodore Hinckley, new pilings wereplaced under the houseboat and twodecks added to seaward. A fire gutted theold clubhouse on a windy day inDecember 1999. The new structure rebuiltin 2000 matches the footprint and profileof the old club and some of the underpin-nings and the lower deck incorporate theshell of the original barge on which theclubhouse was built. In 2006, the juniorsailing clinic continues the club’s fine tradi-tion of teaching community kids to sail inOptimist dinghies and 420s.

Hempstead Bay Sailing Cluborganized in 1963 by a group of Lightning,Highlander, Thistle, Narrasketuck, Rhodes19, O'Day Daysailor and non class sailboatsailors, who as they sailed up Garrett Leadmaking little headway in a strong currentdrew close together. They respondedunanimously to a large blast from a USNavy bull horn and shout of "Anyonewant to race?” from Donald Z. Bailey ofLong Beach aboard his double-masted,cement hull sailboat. The Hempstead BaySailing Club was formed, a marina andadjacent fishing station was bought oncredit, and a Highlander fleet with 15boats was started. The club conducts aracing program from the end of Aprilthrough mid October with about 50 racesa year. Truly a sailing club, it numbers 54families as members, more than 20 FlyingScots, 3 of which are club owned, 20 cruis-ing sail boats, of which 2 are club owned,15 Sunfish, of which 6 are club owned, andan E Scow. With minimal dues and withminimal charges for summer and winterstorage, the club maintains a uniquerequirement to maintain membership.Each member must put in 8 hours a yearduring workdays to maintain the clubproperty. This allows members to get toknow each other and find crew!

on October 20, 1957 by James Bowles atthe urging of Julian T. Davies, Jr. and PeterVoorhies elected Bowles the firstCommodore. They selected the Brownlieestate on Little East Neck Road South asthe site for the club. The site included aGeorgian Revival mansion designed byarchitects Nelson and Van Wangeren ofNew York City and built by the E. W.Howell Company in 1910 for Mrs. Mary S.Trenchard. In January 1958, the BlueHarbor and the Wind Mills CivicAssociations expressed opposition to theformation of the club and had Villagezoning laws changed to prohibit a privateclub in an A zoned area. The club changedthe purchase contract to a lease contractand requested a certificate of occupancy,which was refused. The Village ZoningAppeal Board upheld the club’s right tooperate on a non-conforming use. TheVillage Attorney appealed that decision tothe Supreme Court. November 9, 1958, theclub adopted a Constitution and By-Laws.By November 25 the Supreme Court ruledin favor of the club. The club purchasedthe property on July 27, 1959 for $90,000,and for an additional $5,000 dredged abasin for 65 boats and bulk-headed thenorth wall of the basin. Incorporation asThe Long Island Yacht Club occurred onMarch 24, 1959. The club’s first regatta washeld later that month with the membersof the Babylon Penguin Frostbite Fleet.On Commissioning Day May 24, a flagpolefabricated by Macklin Boettger’s iron-works from metal donated by ClaytonCarmen and lines given by TheodoreDeGarmo was dedicated by ReverendWilliam Heagart, the Club Chaplain. Theoriginal boat basin, the small basin with-out the Signet dock, was completed in1960. That year the club received a liquorlicense, built a bar, kitchen, and diningroom, and added a swimming pool. Abath house was built by Phillip Backingand opened in 1961. The following year, apatio with a tile centerpiece in the form ofthe LIYC burgee was completed. In 1963members built 41 Signet Class boats in thebasement and the Signet dock was com-pleted. Anthony Evans dredged the largeboat basin in 1967 in exchange for placingthe fill on his adjacent property. An

Olympic size pool was completed andopened in 1972. William Setzer donatedthe solarium/greenhouse in memory of hisdeceased wife Dorothy in 1988. From the1980’s to 2000 the docks were redone andelectricity, water and cable TV added. Thekitchen was redone with new appliances,walls, flooring and ceiling. Air conditioningwas added to the first floor. Roads wereredone, 2 tennis courts and a basketballcourt added. New windows and entry wayreplaced the originals. The snack bar wasrebuilt after a fire, and member HansHeiduck single-handedly built a Tiki barnext to the pool. Kevin Lambert resurrect-ed sailing lessons in 2003 with the dona-tion and purchase of some small boats.Finally, members elected ChristineLoskofski the first female Commodore in2004.

Moriches Yacht Club organized in1899 as a sailboat racing club for only thesummer months, was originally located onthe shore of Harry Growtage’s home inEast Moriches. In 1902 the club incorporat-ed with Commodore William Carr.Meetings were held in hotels, member’shomes and in 1905 members shared theCenter Moriches Country Club building.After World War I a group decided toreorganize in 1921, and in 1922 joined theGreat South Bay Yacht RacingAssociation. Another attempt to reorgan-ize in 1941 was interrupted by WWII.Finally in 1949, after fifty years of search-ing, the club bought the current propertywith each Charter member pledging $100.In 1950 the first meeting was held in thenew club house and in 1952 the officialflag-raising was on a flag pole acquiredfrom the 1939 World Fair. A marina wasbuilt in 1958. During the 1960’s membersenlarged the club house with a new galleyand bar, a front patio and swimming pool.Members elected Virginia Tyson their firstfemale Commodore in 2000.

Narrasketuck Yacht Club organ-ized on August 17, 1933 by 15 enthusiasticmembers present in Gorty Baldwin’s boathouse had been originally discussed in BillHusdon’s garage in 1932. Arthur K.Robbins was elected Commodore, twenty


HHIISSTTOORRYY OOFF GGSSBBYYRRAA CCLLUUBBSSfive cents was collected from all presentand a cruise to Bellport was the firstplanned event. The club exists to encour-age its members in becoming proficient inthe personal management, control andhandling of their yacht, and to promotesociability and recreation among its mem-bers. Its name derives from a stream thatflows through Amityville. ViceCommodore C. Gorty Baldwin, Jr. offeredhis boat house, on Carmen Creek atMerrick Road, as a club. Electricity, whichcame from a neighbor’s house for $1 amonth and a stove were early additions tothe boat house. In 1936 members pur-chased Island One in Amityville. Ed Macydonated a house to the club and the clubpaid to have it moved in 1939. Membersdismantled the house and carried it byboat across to the island for reassembly.With the acquisition of building materialsfrom the World’s Fair, and with a memberassessment, the building was completed,painted and a stove installed by 1941.Transportation to the club was by boatonly. With World War II interrupting morework, the club house began to sink and in1947 was sold. After many years of hold-ing meetings at a restaurant, the currentsite was chosen in 1955. A HoldingCorporation established by a group ofmembers headed by Jack Delves soldstock shares for $25 each. Dredged siltfilled the land to a higher elevation andprovided a firm base. Over several week-ends in 1956 members built a dock paral-lel to the creek and two docks perpendi-cular to the first. Piles carried by 4 mem-bers to a pile provided manpower fromthe road to the soft, newly filled landwhere they were driven by Jack Ronback’srigs. A neighbor of John Berholt’s donatedhis service to draw the plans for the clubhouse and a member privately gave theclub a ten year mortgage to begin con-struction in 1957. When the club houseopened on May 25, 1957, silver trowelswere presented to those who had workedon the foundation. A year later the interi-or was completed. Finally through thegenerosity of about 11 members who pro-vided notes for $6,000, bulk heading, aflag pole and paving were completed.Members raced many types of boats

through the years. During various periodsmembers raced fleets of the R, AA, JA,Mallard, Narrasketuck, Snipe, Sunfish,Seaford Skiff, O’Day Day Sailer, Blue Jay,Lightning, El Toro, Flying Scot, and 420classes and auxiliary cruisers up to 30 feet.JY 15, Zuma, Escape, Hunter 140, Laser andWalker Bay Dinghy fleets are developingand frostbite races maintain a firm placein club history. Members elected PatChristy the first female Commodore in1986, and Catherine Powell in 2000. Theenjoyment of sailing is central to everyactivity from the summer clambake andother parties at the club house, to the sea-son awards dinner at a local restaurant,and the El Toro Bullshot Regatta on NewYears Day.

Point O’ Woods Yacht Squadronorganized in August 1899 was headquar-tered in a small club house located at thefoot of Yacht Club Walk. As the first socialorganization in the community, member-ship was limited to males at least 21 yearsold. Members elected Eugene V. Brewsteras first Commodore of the Point O’ WoodsYacht Club. Subject to approval from theBoard of Directors, sons of male membersused the facility and sailed in club regat-tas. As stated in the 1902 By-laws, a for-mal club uniform required for membersincluded a double-breasted, dark navyserge, sack coat with braid indication ofrank, a vest, navy serge pants and a navyserge cap with anchors and stars indicat-ing yacht ownership and rank. The clubincorporated in August 1907 with 123members. In 1917 the club admittedwomen as Associate Members withoutvoting privileges. By 1928 club member-ship grew to 415. During 1929 the YachtClub considered consolidation with theCottagers’ Club. Concern arose over pro-tecting the interests of different factions.The clubs merged as the Point O’ WoodsClub in the winter of 1929-1930 and theYacht Club became the Yacht Squadron,a division of the POW Club. A new build-ing designed by Gordon Trauchold, whodonated his plans, became the headquar-ters. The club operates with community-wide support. Notably, members electedJay Topping Cambell their first female

16

Commodore in 1979, and later BetseyLawrence in 1986 and Judy Reed Smith in1998 became Commodores.

Saltaire Yacht Club was incorporat-ed in 1914 when Thomas C. Maxfield, thefirst Commodore signed the papers for aprivate organization open to homeownersand renters who resided in Saltaire. Theincorporated village of Saltaire sits on thewidest portion of Fire Island and ClamCove is the only natural, protected harboron the island. Development of Saltairebegan in 1910 and in less than two years alarge, thriving community arose withenormous two and three story cottages.Early on, Saltaire's residents were deter-mined to keep out commercial interestsand preserve as much open space as pos-sible. After incorporation as a self-govern-ing village in 1917 strict laws governingnon-residential use of property werepassed. Saltaire was severely damaged inthe 1938 hurricane; three tidal wavesdestroyed nearly every building andcaused extensive destruction up to thebay. Over the decades, the club evolvedfrom a community center into a privatesocial club. It cooperates with the Villageto offer all residents entertainment, dining,sailing and tennis. The club is the focus ofmost community social life with sports andrecreation at the center of life in the fam-ily community. The restaurant includes abar, lunch and dinner service, with musicand dancing at dinner events. The clubowns a variety of sailboats and windsurfers for sailing lessons which meet at thesunset bench on the corner of BayPromenade and Marine Walk. When noconflict with sailing instruction exists, theboats are available to members at nocharge. A particularly fierce rivalry existswith Point O' Woods in the "rudder race",an annual event between the clubs. Theclub provides tennis instruction on its fiveraised hard courts and tennis tournamentsduring the season. The club has had strongfenale leadership with Virginia O’Brienelected the first female Commodore in1984, and later Barbara Rosenblum in1993, Linda Cahill in 1995, Judy Terk in1999, Joan DiCostanzo in 2002, and CaroleSirovich in 2005.

Sayville Yacht Club organized in July1901 by a break away group of 10 menfrom the Seawanhaka Corinthian YachtClub was the south shore outpost of thatclub. This Southside Yacht Club was sitedin Bayport and John E. Roosevelt its firstCommodore. By 1904, the largest yacht anF class, over 46 feet long with a crew of 18raced in a fleet of 27 sloops and yawls and6 catboats. Some time after 1910, invita-tional regattas were held off theTidewater Inn at the foot of FosterAvenue. In 1920 the Southside Yacht Clubincorporated as Sayville Yacht Club. Thatyear a Queen of the Bay Race was held offthe Cedarshore Hotel. In 1922 the clubpurchased the former Patchogue YachtClub building and house mover James I.Davis floated it by barge to Sayville. Eightyears later, the club no longer could finan-cially support the club house. CaptainFrank Rogers of Bayport foreclosed on thehouse and permitted the club to use hisgrounds and oyster houses for parties andthe annual clam bake. In the early 1930’sMr. John P. Zerega of Bayport built a slipand club house, presently part of DougWestin’s Boat Shop, on Brown’s River.From 1935 to WWII an all day race forcruising boats and auxiliaries organized bySayville ran from Sayville to Howell’sPoint in Bellport, to Babylon, andreturned to finish at Sayville. In the late1930’s, Jon Zerega foreclosed on the build-ing. Through Doug Westin’s and severalother members’ efforts, the club met atthe Commodore’s homes to be kept aliveand continued to race in GSBYRA events.During WWI, the club disbanded. In thespring of 1957 at a meeting at the FosterHouse in Sayville, the membership, afterraising $10,000 in bonds, bought a smallpiece of bay front property in Blue Pointfrom Lispenard Suydam. Some memberslocated a building at Smith’s Point whichbelonged to Walter Shirley and had itmoved by barge in three sections by theDavis Brothers to its present site. Membersworked to reassemble, repair and paintthe old vandalized building. The clubeventually bought additional bay frontproperty and totals 12½ acres, with 800feet of shoreline. From 1957 to the presenttime, the club annually hosted various

HHIISSTTOORRYY OOFF GGSSBBYYRRAA CCLLUUBBSSnational class championships. In 1960, theclub added a pool, which was replaced in1976. In 1968, the club house was enlargedto include the cocktail room and a deck.The boat basin was constructed in 1971with a $100,000 loan. The current dininghall, formerly a nun’s dining hall, wasfloated by barge from Patchogue in 1981by the Davis Brothers and attached. Thebath houses were rebuilt the spring afterHurricane Gloria destroyed them in 1985.By 1990 a hot water system heated theclub house, a small second floor room pro-vided meeting space and race equipmentstorage space, an elaborate barbequefacility graced the grounds, and membersconverted a sailing shed into the JuniorYacht Club building. The most recent ren-ovation took place when a half milliondollar bond issue supported major workdrawn up by an architect. The kitchenand bar room were demolished, theremaining building temporarily movedback to drive pilings for supporting theclub house. After the building was movedon to the pilings, a new kitchen, store-room, and bar room were constructed andready for Commissioning Day, May 27,1995. A new annual match-race event,with the Meadow Croft Bowl as the per-petual prize, began in 2002. This eventreturns Sayville Yacht Club to its roots,with competition against SeawanhakaCorinthian Yacht Club.

South Bay Cruising Club organizedon June 11, 1951 began as an idea by BillCarl, Jamie Swan and Ted Zimmerman toform an organization to bring togetherowners of cruising boats on Great SouthBay. At a meeting at Babylon Yacht Club,Chairman Zimmerman acted as tempo-rary Commodore and gathered 15 men.Dues and voting structure were estab-lished first and William P. Carl, Jr. waselected Commodore. Hervey Garret Smithsuggested the burgee design and that thefirst race be sailed around West Island ineither direction. Members present agreedon a handicap system for scoring, a classfor cat boats and a class for other boats,and all boats were to use working sails.The club had no need for a fixed base sinceearly members all belonged to yacht clubs

with facilities. At the second meeting, JackTravis became Chairman of the RaceCommittee, commandeered BrianFoulke’s motorboat as committee boat.Fred Schnur gifted a PerseverancePerpetual Trophy for the last boat to fin-ish the race around West Island. Thirty sixyachts participated in that first race. Atthe end of the first season the club hadraced in Race Week, an invitation race atSayville, and delivered youngsters toBellport Bay for Labor Day Races. Thusbegan the tradition of the Smith PointRendezvous. The second year began with62 members, 4 of whom participated inthe first cruise to Shinnecock, and theadoption of the By-Laws. Soon a news let-ter and an annual cruising award wereestablished. In 1952, additional race invita-tions were received by the club. Babylonprovided a Fourth of July handicap race toIslip and back, Bellport Bay scheduled ahandicap race from the dock to the BluePoint flasher and back, and Wet Pantsconducted an invitational race the follow-ing day in Patchogue Bay. Membershipstood at 127 members the second year.During 1953, a year book was publishedand the club mounted a campaign inopposition to the proposed fixed bridgewith a 30½ clearance to be built at SmithPoint. The Army Corps or Engineers sidedwith the club. That year the club initiatedthe Ocean Race, about a 15 mile coursefrom the start off Democrat Point to theoffshore whistle buoy marking theAmbrose approach and back. Thirteenyachts participated. The 1954 seasonopened with 140 members and 80 yachtsin the club fleet. Members elected SallyEilbeck their first female Commodore in2002.

Unqua Corinthian Yacht Clubincorporated on September 7, 1900 byDelancey T. Smith, Francis A. Williams,Charles P. Molineaux, Warren Purdy,William Bleecker, Edward Bleecker, JohnE, Ireland, George F. Booth and M. M.Woodman. John Ireland generouslydonated the original land. By spring 1901,the present club house was constructedwith a large central hall and porches onthree sides. To reach the club from Ocean

18

Avenue, trees were laid as a base for awagon road over the mud and grass ofthe salt marsh, a boardwalk constructedfor people on foot, and a pipeline laid forwater. In 1913 the front grounds were bulkheaded and filled, and a lawn planted. Abathing beach was opened opposite theclub in 1914. Around 1915 the bath houseswere built over the former tennis courtsand land to the north and east of the clubhouse was filled. The canal to the west wasstaved and filled in 1918. 1928 marked theaddition of the dining room and kitchenwings, and later a small bar. When the barwas no longer large enough, the presentFrench Room was erected, a gift of thelate Commodore John H. French.Construction of the north parking fieldand docks occurred under CommodoreBradley’s term, a gift of Mrs. Rufus Irelandin memory of her husband who hadserved many years as Governor andCommodore. Later, she canceled themortgage on the club property. In 1934,shortly after the Cross Bay Channel wasdug, the Heading was opened. Mr.Kenneth Ireland and Commodore Rufus J.Ireland, Jr. donated the beach station fireplace. In 1964, the present solid dock andsluiceway were constructed. The Olympicsize swimming pool was added in 1965.Further improvements occurred in 1966 inthe form of sanitary facilities, fire placesand a flag pole. The T-dock was enclosedto provide additional space for member’sboats. The dining room porch wasenclosed in 1980 to provide a casual diningarea, and the club house was air condi-tioned. In 1992, the first phase of renova-tion included a new bar overlooking thebay and an exterior rebuilding of the orig-inal structure. Under the leadership ofCommodore Robert Chester, the secondphase of renovation, a new kitchen, reno-vated dining room and a new snack barwith a deck for picnic lunches was com-pleted in 1994.

Westhampton Yacht Squadronorganized in 1890 as the WesthamptonCountry Club by a group of summer resi-dents for members to socialize, play tennisand croquet, and to further promote sailboat races. Charles E. Pellew was appoint-

ed Commodore and Joseph Delafieldappointed fleet captain. Four of the 9Trustees were sailing enthusiasts. The rac-ing dock of the club was at ApaucuckPoint House on Beaver Dam Cove. Asmany as 120 boats raced, jammed thedock, and were wagered upon. Starting in1892 the ladies raced in Quantuck Bay.Captain Warren Peterson maintained asmall yacht club building, an arbor of oakbranches, and dock on Moneybogue Bay.In 1903 a small wood building and a dockwere built at Moneybogue Bay. The SSClass became the dominant boat for rac-ing. A new yacht club building at the footof Speonk Shore Road was constructed in1922 only to be destroyed by the hurricaneof 1938. Harry Growtage held Saturdayafternoon sailing classes attended byalmost 100 youngsters. A huge flagpolewas erected in memory of FosterCrampton. The Country Club mortgagedthe yacht club property in 1931 and in 1933the bank obtained a judgement againstthe property and a sheriff seized furnitureand fixtures. When a Star class charter wasacquired in 1932, Harold Halstead becameits most famous racer. On June 27, 1939,the newly named Westhampton YachtSquadron, Ltd. went into foreclosure in1941. Members purchased land west of theold site and erected a small club house for$4,750. Shorebirds and M Class sloopsbecame the next large classes. A LightningClass charter was acquired in 1947. Afterwatching the Narrasketuck Class performat Bellport Bay in 1948, Charles W. Seinigerintroduced the class to Westhampton thefollowing summer. Sailfish were intro-duced in 1950 by S. F. Medina, to be fol-lowed by Jolly boats introduced by RobertP. Rice in 1955. Two more pieces of proper-ty were purchased in 1955. Predicted logmotor boat races races began in 1960 andby 1961, the Sailfish vanished to bereplaced by Sunfish. In 1963, Gardner andBud Simes presented the club with a 60foot flagpole. In November 1969, the pres-ent club house, formerly the Cedar BeachClub, was cut into three parts and floatedby barge from Jagger Lane inWesthampton to the present site. Sundayafternoon Sunfish racing, which continuesto today, created the Fall Series in 1964.

HHIISSTTOORRYY OOFF GGSSBBYYRRAA CCLLUUBBSSWith the advent of a dozen Y Flyer classboats by 1970, a new trophy case wasinstalled in the club. Additions to the clubin 1976 included the construction of a pooland a new all weather tennis court. Heatwas added to the club house for yearround enjoyment in 1999.

Wet Pants Sailing Associationorganized on September 16, 1934 by ahandful of individuals began with the pur-pose of providing a means of holdingweekly races off Sayville. Out of the gen-eral discussion that followed, several basicprinciples were established. The undertak-ing had to be inexpensive and self sup-porting, enable boats of totally dissimilartype, size and rig to race on a more or lesseven footing, and offer inducement toinexperienced beginners to learn to sailwhile racing. Within a true spirit of sports-manship and self reliance it was open toanyone for dues of $1. The group electedHervey Garret Smith, who designed theburgee styled after an old pair of sailor’spants, as Commodore. The original pantsreputed to have been worn by a crewmember of the Americas Cup yachtColumbia, were tattered, torn andsmelled of pine tar. The “Sacred Pants”stored in a sailor’s ditty box, became sym-bolic of the highest honor bestowed yearlyupon a member by the ExecutiveCommittee. George Madigan gave WetPants its motto: “Short they may be, longmay they wave”. A dozen assorted boatsas a handicap class entered the first regat-ta held July 16, 1935 off Sykes Beach at thefoot of Foster Avenue. The number ofboats competing weekly grew to 25 boatsqualified for trophies by the end of theseason. The club home became theShoreham, formerly the Tidewater Inn,located on the other side of Foster Avenuefrom Sykes Beach. As the owners, theFrieman family agreed to allow WetPants Association members to use thedock and to run races. Hervey Smithdesigned an 18 foot, centerboard sloopcalled the Diaper Class, with an insignia ofdiaper pin on the main sail. Eleven sloopswere built and raced each Saturday.Membership increased rapidly and by1937, P Class and Interclub boats joined the

fleet bringing the total to 49 boats. At theend of 1939, six handicap classes and fourone design classes competed on Saturdays.Averaging 70 boats, the fleet became thelargest on the bay. The war years affectedracing. Fuel rationing cut the number ofpatrol boats and courses were shortened.Forty Wet Pants members joined the serv-ice and club bulletins mailed to them keptthem up to date on activities. Only per-petual trophies were awarded those years.It became apparent that one design class-es were gaining popularity over handicapclasses. In 1942, the Snipe became thelargest one design class raced at WetPants in both wet and dry divisions.Narrasketuck and Star classes were intro-duced to the fleet. In 1950 the SayvilleNarrasketuck Fleet established the Asa B.Smith Trophy in memory of Asa Smith, aPatchogue boat builder of Narrasketucksand son of noted boat builder Gil Smith.Wet Pants began general sailing lessons in1952 and later formed a three year juniorsailing program with Seaman, Crew, andSkipper levels. The program became aprimary focus. In 1953 Elinor Norton waselected the first female Commodore onGreat South Bay. She was the first of fivewomen elected Commodore over theyears to follow. On March 5, 1959, the WetPants Association joined GSBYRA. WetPants members built 23 Blue Jay classboats in Sayville during the winter of 1960.In 1966 and 1970 the club hosted the BlueJay National Championship with WetPants member Bill Pagels winning bothevents. In 1972 the name of the club wasofficially changed to Wet Pants SailingAssociation. In an agreement with theTown of Islip the club leased the facilitiesand grounds at Port O’Call Marina. Overthe following two decades, the club con-tinued to provide access to sailing on thebay for anyone who wished to sail througha strong junior program, weekly races,and family-oriented activities. Sunfish, JY15 and Laser classes replaced earlier class-es. Each year, the club holds a Long IslandSunfish Championship regatta and aweek end regatta for GSBYRA in Sunfishand JY 15 classes. Over 160 families belongto the club with sailing classes averagingbetween 75 and 100 sailors.

History of Race WeekRace Week has been an important

part of the history of Great South BayYacht Racing Association since the organi-zation was founded. Initially it was held offa different club each day as a cruise weekto begin at Babylon Yacht Club, move toSouth Side Yacht Club in Sayville, then onto Bellport Bay Yacht Club, and finallyend at South Bay Yacht Club inPatchogue. Sailors raced during the after-noon, rendezvoused at night, then sailedor were towed on to the next location forthe following race. Cruise Week wasestablished in 1907. The earliest survivingmention of race week is a Bellport BayYacht Club Program and Instructions forRegattas to be sailed over the Club Courseduring the Season of 1913. An annualAssociation Special Prize Cup was award-ed for the yacht making the fastest cor-rected time on a designated course for thefirst time in 1920. Printed pamphlets ofyachts in GSBYRA which list courses atBabylon, Bay Shore, Sayville and BellportBay Yacht Clubs, a dozen classes of yachts,yacht numbers, yacht names, ownernames and time allowances exist from1924 through 1926. Motor boat predictedlog races were included in Race Weekstarting in 1925. From 1927 through 1929small, stapled together Register booksexist for Cruise Week with the GSBYRAlogo on the front cover and an advertise-ment on the back cover. From 1924through to the present day, a 6 by 9 inchbook contains the GSBYRA race schedulefor the season. From the beginning of RaceWeek an entry fee was required and arace was scheduled for 2:00.

Cruise Week 1924 began with eveningentertainment at Unqua Corinthian YachtClub and races at Babylon, Bay Shore,Bellport Bay and Sayville Yacht Clubs.Two special prizes were offered for boatssailing those races. Commodore Pearsonoffered an SS class prize and Chairman ofthe Race Committee Harry Growtageoffered an SB class prize. The Associationappointed George H. Walbridge ofBabylon to measure all courses. Regularclass prizes were awarded by the club over

whose course the race was held. An oftenoverlooked note is that three days ofmotor boat races became part of RaceWeek in 1925. Five Cups were awarded:two Carrillo Cups presented by LeoCarrillo of South Shore Yacht Club ofFreeport, one for first class Cruisers andone to Elco Cruisettes; the Gillespie Cuppresented by Commodore S. H. Gillespie ofWesthampton to 2nd class Cruisers; theSchreiber Cup presented by R. A. Schreiberof South Shore to 3rd class Cruisers; andthe Pinkham Cup presented by F. C.Pinkham of Bellport Bay to Speedboats.In 1927 a fifth race day at Point O’ Woodswas added between Bay Shore andSayville race days. In 1936, Race Weekexpanded to a sixth race day whenTimber Point was added to the schedulebetween Point O’ Woods and Sayville,then dropped by 1938, when Bay Shorereplaced Babylon with two race days andPatchogue replaced Bellport Bay withtwo race days. In 1927, Fire Island donat-ed a Gold Cup perpetual trophy to theyacht club whose registered yachtreceived the greatest number of points inher class, provided that an average num-ber of 4 boats start in her class in the 5races scheduled. The Middleton Trophy forthe Cruiser handicap race of power boatswas awarded for a 23 mile race at FireIsland Yacht Club in 1928. One design class-es emerged. Exciting episodes of storms atnight, mad bailing to keep tows afloat,losing a tow or two, taps on a bugle,dances, clam chowder at Point O’Woods,a four hour ordeal across Patchogue Bayand around Howell’s Point to Bellport inthe teeth of a cold, rainy easterly galemark colorful events.

World War II brought changes to racingon Great South Bay. War time restrictionsbrought racing to a central location, theTimber Point Club on Nicoll Bay, withsmaller fleet participation. Six races, oneper day at 2:00 were scheduled. The StarClass raced two series concurrently. Thatadditional trophy, The Corry Cup exclud-ed the Monday race for a total of 5 races.Wednesday night the Star Class held a

dinner and on Saturday night theNarrasketuck Class sponsored a dance atno charge. Launch service was providedby the Timber Point Club. Chairman ofthe Race Committee in 1946, LouisDelafield started Narrasketucks in twodivisions, often containing 40 boats perdivision. Cruise Week was halted from1942 to 1954. Participation in Race Weekdeclined from about 340 boats in 1936 toabout 90 boats in 1954.

President Cappy Arink resumed RaceWeek as Cruise Week in 1955 imploringfamilies to participate and welcoming theCruising Club as a member of theAssociation. With Delafied as Chairman,the Coast Guard patrolled the courses.That year the fleet raced at Babylon onMonday, proceeded to Bay Shore, PointO’ Woods, Bellport Bay, and finished atWesthampton on Saturday. Course chartswere printed in the book along with theregistered yachts by class. The followingyear, the 50th anniversary of theAssociation, Cruise and Race Week beganwith a beach party rendezvous atMoriches, and continued on to race offWesthampton, Bellport, Point O’ Woods,Bay Shore, and ended with two race daysat Babylon, with a social event scheduledeach night. Participation increased. Cruiseand Race Week subsequently alternateddirection on the bay each year. JohnFenner succeeded Delafield as Chairmanof the Race Committee in 1958, initiatedseparate turning marks for two groupsinto the schedule, and printed handicapsfor 30 classes in the book. Participationwas over 300 boats. A season champion ineach class was named. The 1959 bookpublished the Racing Rules of the NorthAmerican Yacht Racing Union adoptedfor that year.

President Fenner and Chairman of theRace Committee John O. Zimmerman, in1960, adapted a uniform scoring system todetermine Race Week winners and usedthe Cox-Sprague system to determine sea-son champions; required a yacht clubidentification emblem with the partici-pants name; and required each club toprovide chaperones for the activities

ashore. By 1962, Chairman Zimmermaninitiated separate divisions carrying col-ored streamers in some classes: 3 divisionsof Blue Jays, 2 of Beetle Cats and Sailfish.He grouped midget divisions of Blue Jay,Beetle Cat, Tech Dinghy and Seaford Skiffinto their own signal sequence as well.Louis Orr succeeded Zimmerman asChairman of the Race Committee in 1962.By the 1960’s, most one design boats weredry sailed and permanent hoists wereavailable for launching and lifting out atBabylon, Bay Shore, Sayville and BellportBay, while a crane was used at LongIsland. Bay Shore and Bayberry sponsoreda supper dance at the Brightwaters Beachand Cabanna Club. The first multihullboats, Cougar, Thai, Tiger Cat, and CatFish classes raced on the bay in the early1960’s, and the Pacific Cat and B Lionclasses raced in Race Week in 1966.

A different Race Week format was con-ducted in 1967 by Chairman John E.Barnes of Narrasketuck in an effort toincrease participation. Races were held fortwo days at each of 3 clubs: Long Island,Bay Shore, and Sayville. That year thebook listed participation by class and bythe 18 member clubs beginning with 1960data. Participation had declined from 292boats to 228 boats. Alternating the racingdirection of the Race Week Clubs contin-ued yearly. In 1969, John J. Fauth succeed-ed Barnes as Chairman of the RaceCommittee. Fauth was followed asChairman by Harvey McChesney ofBellport in 1972. Under President TedZimmerman the entire Race Week formatreturned to Great River. Class Captainswere appointed to stimulate participationand provide input into courses, class startsequence and number of times around thecourse. For many years until his death in1973, John Fanelli, a reporter for the NewYork Times, sat below deck on the com-mittee boat and typed results to be pub-lished the following day. The highest par-ticipation recorded by catamarans withover 30 Hobie Cats and 10 Tornado Classcats was during the mid 1970’s. Afterward,they slowly declined in numbers. In 1979Bill Ludlum became Chairman, to be suc-ceeded in 1980 by Richard M. Daytz.

RRAACCEE WWEEEEKKAnother Race Week format developed

by President Bill Ludlum for the 75thanniversary year held 6 races over 4 con-secutive days at Babylon and included athrow out race. Crew prizes were awardedfor the first time and participation aver-aged about 115 boats. Later in 1985,President Bud St. John of Babylon and hisChairman Ralph B. Maust of Bellportspanned Race Week over two weekendsat Bay Shore. Maust was succeeded by BillLudlum as Chairman in 1987. PresidentLawrence N. Deering of Bellport and hisChairman Phil Linker of Sayville returnedRace Week to a single location over 4 daysat Sayville in 1988 and invited PHRF aux-iliary yachts to participate. A dozen Lasersand 11 PHRF yachts increased participa-tion that year. The following two yearsRace Week was held at Bay Shore andBabylon respectively. In 1998, three sepa-rate race courses, each with their own racecommittee, were set up for Optimists, onedesign divisions and PHRF fleets. Thispractice continues into 2006 along withthe rotation of Race Week continuingamong those three clubs.

Ending with Standish F. Medina’s con-tinued quote from Mrs. McClintock isappropriate. “Finaly the great day wouldcome.” “Moorings were cast off and thegreat fleet of boats, like a tremendousflock of gleaming white birds, bore downon the starting line. What a scene of activ-ity it was there: speeding launches, hurry-ing rowboats, busy officials, enthusiasticfans, pennants, racing stakes, guns, all theparaphernalia of the regatta. Then thejockeying for position, the Machiavellianplanning as each skipper did his best to befirst over the line when the gun gave thestarting signal; the captain sat alert andkeen, eyes flashing from starting line toopponents; the sheet tender squattedbehind him, muttering advice and warn-ing, the time-keeper, in low, tense tonescounted: ‘1 minute to go - 30 seconds - 15-14---3-2-1!’ Bang! and off they sped, abunched group, seemingly a most intricatetangle of hulls, sails and halyards. But soonthe faster boats would pull ahead and a

long, lovely line of flying sails would stringout down the course as the captains set-tled to their business of outsailing and out-thinking each other. Away and away thelittle crafts flew, almost alive in their quickresponse to wind and helm, as a stake wasrounded, and graceful, sensitive boatpointed up or hauled off on a new course.The intent, keen crews did their appointedtasks with mathematical precision andthen once again setttled down to a longsail to the next stake. Sometimes the dis-tance was covered by tacking into thewind, and then it was ‘all hands on thewindward side!’, and often away over theside; sometimes by a long leg before thewind, with the crew in the cockpit,motionless to avoid spilling any of the pre-cious breeze from the sail; and again itwas a protracted reach, with tensionrelaxed, and plenty of time to let loosehigh spirits, - and well do I remember theridiculous hilarity of those gay intervals.Finally, the last lap of the course, with thefirst two or three boats grimly fighting itout together: the breathless excitement asone or another pulled ahead, the overflowing gleee of the winners, as they speddown the home stretch, helmsman andcrew beaming and jubilant, and the gal-lant little boat proudly flashing over thefinish line. The gun boomed, the flagsdipped, and on the shore the crowdscheered, proud parents attempted to lookunconcerned, and fat little brothers andsisters leaped and squealed in highest glee,- and the race was over. Over, yes, but asthe boats got under way for their homeports, all young crews would have onetopic of conversation: the next race; howtheir boats would be tuned up a bit, somemistake in sailing or in strategy remedied;how, in fact, each one would be sure towin the next time. And so it went, throughthe long, lighthearted months, until thesad day when the boats were dismantledand put up for the winter, when thehoarde of reluctant sailors turned awayfrom nautical affairs, and went back tothe city to study - and to dream of lastsummer’s joys and next summer’s tri-umphs.” The thrill remains!

QQUUEEEENN OOFF TTHHEE BBAAYY

The Queen of the Bay Race is one of theoldest events on Great South Bay. This tra-ditional Great South Bay event, in whichyachts of all classes and sizes all start at acommon time and all race together on thesame course dates back to a few yearsafter the turn of the 20th century.Handicaps were calculated by a GSBYRAHandicap Chairman. An original Queen ofthe Bay Cup was retired after Regis Post inConstance, a Q boat, won it three timesagainst Eagle, Doris, and Invader, severalother crack Q boats. Clinton Cranedesigned Q boats to race against theCanadians for the Seawanhaka Cup.Later, in 1923, another sterling silverQueen of the Bay loving cup was retiredby Dixie, a Q boat owned by theLuderman brothers of Sayville and skip-pered by Captain Jim Zegel of WestSayville.

In 1939, a bowl donated by GSBYRA inmemory of Harry Growtage began thepresent Queen of the Bay. A second tro-phy, the Patchogue Advance Trophy, wasdonated in 1956 by Captain John T. Tuthill,publisher of the Patchogue Advancenewspaper. The Advance Trophy waseventually retired and Tuthill replaced itwith the donation of the Great South Bay

Handicap Bowl. When multihull boatsappeared on the race scene, Ted Everitt, aformer Commodore of Bellport Bay YachtClub and a Past President of GSBYRAdonated the third trophy in 1962 to beawarded to the first yacht to finish regard-less of type of hull or rig. A fourth trophy,the Gallina Cup, donated in 1972 by theJerome Laviano family was to be award-ed to the first multihull to finish on correct-ed time.

Periodic reviews have establishedchanges in how yachts qualify to race inQueen of the Bay. At one time yachts hadto compete in a percentage of the seasonInvitational Regattas. PortsmouthNumbers replaced local bay handicaps tocalculate corrected times. One tradition,an extremely long course prevails.

Today, four GSBYRA perpetual tro-phies are currently awarded: first conven-tional, single hull, yacht to finish receivesthe Growtage Bowl; first conventional, sin-gle hull yacht on corrected time to finishreceives the GSB Handicap Trophy; firstyacht regardless of type of hull or rig tofinish receives the Everitt Trophy; and firstmultihull yacht on corrected time to finishreceives the Gallina Trophy.

Portsmouth Numbers are defined asthe length of time boats take to sail acommon but unspecified distance, whichincludes beating, reaching and running. Itassumes that each boat is sailed to its truepotential, by a perfect crew using flawlessstrategy, and that all boats and sails con-form to class specifications and rules.Courses may be combinations of triangu-lar, modified Gold Cup, Olympic, andwindward-leeward. The derivation of thehandicap numbers is based on the Thistleas the primary yardstick for one designcenterboard boats, keelboats, multihulls,and offshore boats. Refer to the US SAIL-ING website for boat PortsmouthNumbers.

Finish position of boats is determinedby the lowest corrected time according tothe formula CT = (ET X 100) / HC.

Record start and finish time of everyboat. Determine the elapsed times.Calculation of race results requires theWind Handicap Number of each boatfrom the tables. Corrected time (CT) is cal-culated from elapsed time (ET), which ismultiplied by 100, and divided by theWind Handicap Number (HC) or by theD-PN. Use of the recommended WindHandicap Number (HC), or the BasicPortsmouth number (D-PN) for calcula-tions, and determination of average windvelocity is the responsibility of the RaceCommittee Chairman, whose decision isfinal. When the Wind Handicap Number isused for calculation, record wind velocitiesat the start, middle and finish of the race,then average the wind velocity to deter-mine which Beaufort Number 0 though 6to use.
