The three yacht clubs in marblehead, massachusetts.

I haven't been in any of the three yacht clubs in Marblehead, Massachusetts, for some years, but I remember how each used to demonstrate physically its place on the New England social ladder. Out on Marblehead Neck, where all the summer people have their places, are the Eastern Yacht Club and the Corinthian Yacht Club. Old families with old money — that is, families that have been in the area (including the Boston area) for a number of generations — belonged to the Eastern Yacht Club. No one else was allowed to join. The clubhouse itself always looked to me as if it might collapse. It needed stain or paint, there always seemed to be a loose board or two out on the porch, and the dining and other facilities were modest, though with a certain quiet, old charm. However, belonging to the Eastern meant you were "in." If you didn't belong, you were "out" — and might just as well join the Corinthian Yacht Club.

The Corinthian accepted new people with new money, and its clubhouse and docks were new, meticulously maintained, modern, and posh. To a Texan or anyone else not knowledgeable in New England ways, inspection of the physical facilities of the Eastern and the Corinthian back in those days would have caused the Corinthian to be the immediate and obvious choice. From the New England point of view, that would be all well and good. As my aunt on my father's side once told me, "A Texan may be a braggart, but he can never be a snob."    

Then there was the Boston Yacht Club, located across the harbor from "the Neck," in the town of Marblehead. It was always considered the place for those not in any way interested, or able to be interested, in social considerations. It was for townspeople. So its clubhouse was neither run down nor posh. It was straightforward, perfectly comfortable, practical. Of course, some members of old area families, particularly the young ones with old money, deliberately chose the Boston Yacht Club over the Eastern. That's a related but slightly different form of snobbery, which was negated completely if you belong to both, as some did.

Very amusing, but where does the Boston Yacht Club fit in this pecking order--the yacht club on the other side of the harbor not on "The Neck" and the sponsor of the venerable Marblehead-Halifax Ocean Race?

In my opinion, it's number 1!!

Meghan, right? :)

This all reminds me of the book The Status Seekers written in 1959 by Vance Packard. It's one of the most searing and sardonic looks at social status I've ever read. It really opened my eyes.

Jud with one d - I bet he'd write it the same way now!

But what about Pleon?

Pecking order is quite a bit different today. And Marblehead has 3 clubs on the town side and 3 clubs on the neck side.

Hilarious, but I think a Texan can be a snob. A lot are old southern families going back to the First Families of Virginia and the Jamestown group can be just as snobby as the Plymouth haha

If that's the case you will never know it because FFV and Jamestowne Society members do not brag. The snobs are the Highland Park new monied.

For many years my family enjoyed "belonging" at the Boston Yacht Club. We always parked just outside that quite small parking lot at the club and for good reason. We would take the launch out to our sailboat and sound the horn for pickup when it was time to get a ride back at the end of the day....one prolonged, two short if my memory serves me right. What a wonderful aura to the place...until they finally figured out we weren't actually members! Ooops! My father had an uncanny knack for walking into places he didn't belong as if he owned them. Ultimately we joined the Corinthian for real...I think. If we weren't members there I feel for whoever had to pick up our food tab at the pool.

That is a great story, I'll bet your father is/was an interesting man.

Are these ‘rules’ still applied in 2018 ? I am a member of the Royal Cape Yacht Club ( 44 years good-standing) and I can tell you things have changed. When I joined in 1974 I was given a ‘look up, and down’. I recall a superior of mine, possibly twice my age, who applied at the same time but was ‘blakballed’ as not being ‘suitable’. Somehow I doubt this still goes on. Except perhaps at certain clubs in the St James club area in London.

Marblehead – Yacht Clubing

A visit to Marblehead’s sailing society

With more boats per capita than anywhere on the planet, Marblehead has long been known as “the sailing capital of the world.”

For those who wish to join the sailing set, Marblehead has a variety of clubs to choose from.

Two of the town’s clubs are found on Marblehead Neck, an exclusive community separated by the mainland by a long causeway that is perfect for jogging or biking.

Founded in 1885, the Corinthian Yacht Club on Nahant Street ( www.corinthianyc.org ) offers a beautiful clubhouse as well as swimming and tennis facilities.

“There’s many things yacht clubs can offer,” says Dave Titus, Corinthian’s clubhouse general manager, “but the view of the harbor we have here is spectacular!”

In addition to their frequent social events and tennis tournaments, Corinthian also hosts special yachting events, including the Trans-At Challenge in September, which brings a squadron of 60-foot boats from as far away as England.

“They’re quite a [thing] to view,” Titus says.

At present, Corinthian has 520 members.

“We have an extremely active membership, which is happy with what the club offers them,” says Titus. “It’s a very friendly community.”

According to membership committee member Jack Frankel, however, the club doesn’t take unsolicited applications.

“It’s a private club and new members are sponsored in a multiyear process,” he says.

Nearby on Foster Street is the Eastern Yacht Club ( www.easternyc.org ) with its six tennis courts and pool.

According to club lore, EYC was started in 1870 by “12 hardy men.” Its halls are packed with trophies, including one that was once carried on the flagship of famed British sailor Admiral Nelson! No wonder, then, that the Eastern has often been chosen to host Olympic sailing trials and many vanguard regattas.

“We consider ourselves a yacht club and try to encourage it at all levels,” says a member who wished to remain anonymous (the Eastern places a premium on privacy).

Across the harbor are the Boston, Dolphin, and Marblehead yacht clubs.

Organized in 1866, the Boston Yacht Club ( www.bostonyachtclub.net ) offers a dining room and bar, commodore’s lounge, and other facilities. And as it is located on Front Street, which runs along the harbor, the BYC also offers an amenity that the Neck clubs don’t.

“You can get dropped off here and walk around downtown Marblehead,” says general manager Mark McMahon, citing his club’s proximity to mainland shops and restaurants.

According to membership chair Martha Quigley, the BYC also requires sponsorship for new members. Even so, McMahon noted, around 20 slots tend to open at the end of each sailing season.

Though it may be difficult for people to gain immediate entrance to some clubs, there are other ways to get into the sailing scene. Among these are getting started early as a member of Marblehead’s youth yacht club, Pleon ( www.pleon.org ), or taking memberships at clubs that do not require sponsorship, meeting others at multi-club events (such as Marblehead’s world-famous Race Week) and then having them sponsor you down the road.

Though the 55-year-old Dolphin Yacht Club on Allerton Place ( www.dolphinyachtclub.com ) has no tennis courts or pool, the view of the harbor is beautiful, the kids’ room is a great place for younger sailors to hang out, and the food (provided by Sylvan Street Grill) is rather tasty. As for membership, it is inexpensive and does not require sponsorship.

“You don’t need to wait 10 years to get in,” says commodore/treasurer Patti Cohen of the club that, for many years, was the only place for Jewish sailors to congregate. And, as the club’s website states, “We are actively seeking new members!”

One caveat: If you want a full boating membership, you need to have a mooring in Marblehead Harbor. There are 1,400 of these and the waiting list is about 15 years. However, you can still be an out-of-harbor member for $350 or a social member for $225. The Dolphin also offers a kayaking membership for small-craft fans.

Lastly we come to the club that takes its name from its hometown. Built in 1878, the Marblehead Yacht Club on Cliff Street ( www.marbleheadyc.org ) is the most down-home of all.

“This is by far the most inexpensive club,” says club manager Steve Karger, who has been a member for 25 years.

With food service Friday through Sunday (the MYC is BYOB), the club offers its 356 members three launches that cover 60 percent of the harbor and a fleet of rowboats you can take to your yacht.

“We’re the mirror image of the Corinthian,” Karger says, pointing across the harbor, “only in this way.”

In philosophy, the club mirrors the Dolphin more closely, as it was the first place Irish-Catholic sailors could join. In 1935, the MYC instituted a policy requiring that  “anybody joining be considered as an individual, not part of a group.”

These days, however, the only “group” that most members want to be counted among is Marblehead’s large group of sailors.

So whether you want cotillions and pool parties or just a way to get to your boat, join the club!

Renegade – Soverel 33′

Posted by HarborMoor Crew | Dec 17, 2020 | Commodores , Racers | 0 |

“My new passion is forming and chairing the MYC History Committee with a goal of writing a MYC History Book…We learned that the club was originally founded as a dory rowing club in 1878. “

Renegade , Soverel 33′ Interview with the Captain — Commodore John Murray, Marblehead Yacht Club

On the Marblehead Yacht Club  

How would you describe what makes the Marblehead Yacht Club so special? The MYC is Marblehead’s most casual yacht club with excellent launch service and a good BYOB dining on the deck. We are a volunteer yacht club which means members help out or join one of the many committees to help plan activities.   Volunteering keeps our membership costs reasonable. 

What are you most proud of that happened at Marblehead Yacht Club during your watch?   On my watch, I was instrumental in a few changes at the MYC. The first accomplishment was getting a shower designed, budgeted and built; the lack of a shower was a constant source of complaints by members who slept on their boats.   Next, was the reincarnation of the Downeast Challenge race from Marblehead to Boothbay Maine in 2018 with co-chair Eliot Shanabrook.   Last year, the Downeast Challenge had 21 boats including the largest shorthanded long-distance fleet in northern New England.   My new passion is forming and chairing the MYC History Committee with a goal of writing a MYC History Book.   We have a fun and engaging team researching old records, maps, photos and documents.   We learned that the club was originally founded as a dory rowing club in 1878; its members later switched to dory sailing including the Town Class and designed the Town Class logo used today. We appreciate any old-timer stories about the club so feel free to reach out!   We look forward to completing the research and publishing a New York Times Best Seller.

About the Boat Why did you choose to buy a Soverel 33? I was looking for a high-performance race boat for a skipper on a budget.   The Soverel 33 has a great reputation as a fast boat and fun to sail.   It is the sailboat equivalent of a classic Corvette Stingray.  

What other kinds of boats did you consider before buying this model? I was considering a Hobie 33, another classic 1980’s racing machine. I preferred the Soverel 33 because it had standing headroom and a roomy interior.   I still think about the Hobie 33. 

How did you come to find her before purchasing? Jim Da Silva a fellow sailor I know from BYC Wednesday nights and the Beringer Bowl, knew I was in the market for a Soverel 33 or Hobie 33 as I had recently sold my S2 9.1 sailboat Torch . He connected me with the US Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY that had a fleet of Soverel 33’s they were selling off to make room for newer boats for the cadets.   I bought the best one in the fleet for a good deal and sailed it from Long Island Sound to Marblehead in 2019.   Jim later told me that he had raced on Renegade several years ago and won the Soverel 33 National Championships in her; he even gave me his Renegade Team shirt!

Who first introduced you to boating/sailing? My dad who grew up sailing in Quincy, told me he took me racing in his Indian class sailboat when I was 2.   I spent my childhood cruising around Cape Cod with the family of 7 in my father’s Columbia 26 sailboat named Rights of Man .   I was about 8 years old when I took my first solo sail in our dinghy named Women’s Rights in Hadley’s Harbor; I was hooked!   When I turned 14 my dad bought me an old wooden Beetlecat that I raced in West Yarmouth, MA and won national championship a few years later. 

What boats have you previously owned? Beetlecat, J24, Etchells 22, Tartan 10, Ericson 39 and S2 9.1

What are the features you like most about your boat? Besides the sleek lines, I like the well-balanced feel of the helm.   I love the big open cockpit – lots of room for sailing and hanging out with friends.   I also like the simple spartan interior – not many systems to worry about breaking.

What improvements have you added or do you plan to add? I replaced all my standing rigging the first year after my headstay broke. I also replaced my fuel tank when it leaked. I am consider adding a roller-furler jib in a year or so.

How do you typically use your boat over the summer, and where do you go? I love Wednesday night racing, the perfect excuse to go sailing with some friends after work and enjoy a cigar and a couple beers – life is good.   My favorite races are the BYC Berringer Bowl to P-Town and the MYC Downeast Challenge to Boothbay Maine; both are overnight destination races so you get to arrive somewhere different and both have excellent post-race parties.   I love cruising Maine and took and my 10-year old son back from Boothbay these past few years. I enjoy sailing to Cape and the Islands and have done the Vineyard Cup regatta a few times and spent this summer cruising to Cuttyhunk and back with my 2 sons. My wife enjoys an overnight to Misery Island or Boston harbor. Hanging out on the mooring with a cigar and beer listening to music never gets old.

What is the biggest challenge you have in servicing your boat? The boat is pretty basic so not much work besides winterizing the engine and taking off all the junk the boat has collected all summer.

Do you have any advice for those looking to buy a Soverel 33′ like yours? If you are considering a Soverel 33 – buy it!   You will love it.

What’s the story behind the boat’s name? The boat was named Renegade by its original owner in 1985 and has a cool logo on the sides. The name fits.

Another ‘Classic’: Vintage racing yachts do battle off Marblehead’s shore

The Corinthian Classic Yacht Regatta brought together 31 classic racing yachts, some well over 100 years old, to the starting line on Aug. 13 and 14.

Vintage, classics and spirit-of-tradition yachts competed for line honors in six divisions in a pursuit race format.

Hosted by the Corinthian Yacht Club, the event, now in its 24th year, has become an opportunity to bring together some of the most coveted and diverse classic yachts still racing.

The pursuit race format means that the slowest boats start first, the fastest last, so that they all finish around the same time, in theory.

Such was the case on Sunday when the site of so many beautifully preserved boats heading together to the finish line conjured up images of a golden era of yachting that seemed to peak in the 1980s.

Now in her 11th decade of racing, the 60-foot, 115-year-old “Neith,” designed by Nat Herreshoff, was the regatta’s overall winner and was awarded the W. Starling Burgess Trophy for best performance in the Vintage Yacht division.

The vintage yacht division comprises any yacht, though primarily ones made of wood, designed before 1950.

“Today was a good day, and we had fair breeze, and the course was a reach, which is great for us,” Keith Brown, a longtime crew member aboard “Neith,” said Sunday.

“Neith” is a longtime participant in the regatta, and Brown said they all appreciate the yachting traditions in Marblehead and its love of classic yachts.

“Neith” is owned by Van Brown of Mystic, Connecticut.

“We have been coming to this event for a long time, and it remains one of our favorites,” he said. “We had great breeze today, and sailing along the Nahant shoreline was spectacular.”

On Sunday, although the increasing wind velocity gave the bigger boats a speed edge as they headed south to Boston and rounded a government mark back along the Nahant shoreline, the fleet was remarkably close throughout because of the staggered starts.

The course provided a spectacular scene of 31 classics, along with 13 IODs (International One Design) in hot pursuit.

One of those making up ground rapidly was the 12-meter “Valiant” owned by Gary Gregory of Marblehead, who placed first in the Modern Classic Division.

Any boat designed after 1950 and built before 1980 whose rudders are separated from the trailing edge of the keel is considered a Modern Classic.

“The pursuit race format is based on expected speeds from different boats, but that can differ once out on the racecourse based on unforeseen conditions,” Gregory said. “Our size meant we started when many of the smaller boats were nearly at the mark off Boston, but it also meant that the wind was better than we had foreseen, and we were able to make up a lot.”

On Saturday, the fleet went towards Gloucester and rounded at Newcomb Ledge. Marblehead’s Quinn Valliancourt took line honors, finishing second overall in his division on his Herreshoff design “Rozi.”

“It is always uncertain in a pursuit race, as you can absolutely get the right timing and conditions on some days and on other days you are out of the running,” Valliancourt said. “The objective is that everyone should finish quite closely and converge at the finish. That is what I like about pursuit racing.”

While the Modern Classics included the winning 12-meter Valiant, the 13-strong division featured yachts like the Ted-Hood-built Little Harbor 37 “Sea Robin,” the Hinckley 41 “Black Magic” and the Hinckley “Valkyrie,” as well as the Swan 38 “Blue Pidgeon.”

“The beauty of the modern classic boat is they have the extended bow and overhanging stern and a classic sheer line,” said John Doub, owner of “Blue Pigeon.” “When rounding a mark, the sound of them going through the water is something we still marvel at.”

Fortunately, classic yacht racers understand that their vessels are unique in size, age and speed but one of the factors that makes classic racing so interesting is it touches on all of the unique history and legacy of both Marblehead and its links to yacht racing over the centuries.

“I think the Corinthian Classic reminds us to appreciate the aesthetic of sailing through the decades,” said Karen Finnocchio of Marblehead, who helmed the Modern Classic “Cynara,” owned by Jason Panos. “Classic boats also have a simplicity that forces us to draw on skills instead of technology. You go back to the basics.”

Finnocchio continued, “It is about perspective, too. The pandemic forced us to stop and slow down and look around. What we have here in Marblehead is so precious and envied by sailors around the world.”

Corinthian Classic organizer Timmy Dittrich agreed that he loves equally all of the classics, the IODs, the vintage and modern yachts. He views the event as an important one to preserve their presence in yacht racing.

“No boat comes out of the gate as a classic. They earn their place and become stewards of their boat as well,” said Dittrich, who competed on board “Neith.” “The reality in 2022 is that our modern classics have now also had their heyday, just as the vintage ones did.”

Some of the boats racing in Marblehead as “modern classics” are over 50 years old in their own right, Dittrich noted.

“Yet, it is very interesting to me that today’s yacht builders and designers remain inspired by the beauty of all of the early 20th-century boats and modern classics,” Dittrich said. “What we want to do is try and preserve those great days, those feelings, and those rivalries in yachting that are so hard to find today. The Corinthian Classic is a place to find that experience. This will go away unless we work to preserve it.”

Timeless & romantic weddings.

On June 10th, I was fortunate to be part of Paige and Austin’s union at the Eastern Yacht Club in Massachusetts. Their luxurious, coastal wedding was so dreamy! The sentimental details and traditional influences of their day made their wedding so memorable. It was the perfect celebration of their seven years together, and their new chapter as a married couple.

Our bride’s homecoming made the nuptials even more special. Originally, Paige was raised in Marblehead, while Austin grew up in North Carolina where the couple now resides. In fact, Austin and Paige opted for the club as their venue because the bride’s family, and their wedding guests, are members there! It was such a special tribute to her roots. Plus, it made for amazing photo opportunities! We were able to sneak away for gorgeous waterside portrait backgrounds. Plus, we captured a few photos aboard the boat we used to ferry over to their personal vessel. I will always carry those memories as a stand-out experience!

The magic of the night did not end there. While their wedding day started out with a lucky rain shower, it ended with the most picturesque sunset. It was the epitome of a sought-after golden hour along the coast. Then, of course, came Colors. In keeping with tradition, the Eastern Yacht Club participates in the the time-honored cannon firing at sunset, when the flag is lowered for the day. This gesture has become a sign of respect for ships at sea. This symbolic event traces back to historic naval traditions and the manner cannon-carrying ships once used to communicate their peacefulness to shore. For our purposes, it added to the charm of this gorgeous maritime affair. Even more, it symbolized the end of another lovely summer day. It was such a pleasure to participate in this timeless and elegant coastal wedding. Cheers to Paige and Austin!
