If you ever get chilly onboard, you can purchase one of our famous and iconic Honorable William Wall sweatshirts or hoodies.

Founded in 2007, the New York Yacht Club Foundation has contributed $8.1 million to fund much needed capital projects in both New York and Newport.

The care and maintenance of these historic buildings require constant attention and is only made possible by the support of the New York Yacht Club Foundation.

About the 44th Street Clubhouse

In 1897, Commodore J. Pierpont Morgan’s unexpected purchase and donation of a three-lot site on West 44th Street was the gift on which the New York Yacht Club would erect its first permanent Clubhouse. Designed by the celebrated Warren & Wetmore architectural firm and completed in 1901, the historic Landmark building—so designated by New York City’s prestigious Landmark Preservation Commission—is a preeminent example of Beaux Arts architecture.

About Harbour Court

Conceived by the Boston-based consortium of Cram, Goodhue and Ferguson, the Renaissance Norman-style mansion was completed in 1906, five short years after the 44th Street Clubhouse. The former summer estate of the late NYYC Commodore John Nicholas Brown, Harbour Court was acquired by the Club in 1988, and has since evolved into the internationally recognized Clubhouse and sailing center that it is today.

About Station 10

In 1845, Commodore John Cox Stevens commissioned architect Alexander Jackson Davis to design the New York Yacht Club’s first Clubhouse—a distinctive structure influenced by the Gothic Revival school. Originally erected in Hoboken, New Jersey, it was later moved to Glen Cove, New York, where it was known as Station 10. The structure was later moved to Mystic Seaport in Connecticut before a final journey to its lasting home at Harbour Court.

CONSIDER MAKING A

Over the next decade, with multiple projects on the horizon, in the planning stages or under way at both Harbour Court or 44th Street, major funding is required to ensure that these Clubhouses are preserved for future generations. These efforts include rebuilding a seawall and restoring the boathouse at Harbour Court. The ongoing annual maintenance of these historic buildings is made possible by the New York Yacht Club Foundation and your generous support.

The best vacation for your staycation

A cooperative yacht club in brooklyn for sailors of all stripes, all about us.

Miramar Yacht Club was founded in 1932 as a place for boating enthusiasts to enjoy an excellent Brooklyn sail, catch up with friends, take in the view or kick back and relax. Our members make Miramar Yacht Club so special — young and old, some new, some who learn how to sail at Miramar , some with long family histories at our yacht club, who work together to keep the club shipshape.

Sailing has never crossed my mind as something that I was passionate enough about to want to make a lifelong hobby, but it is now. If you have the opportunity to sail with Miramar Yacht Club, definitely try it at least once! It's quite the adventure :)

How the american magic team is reimagining america’s cup tech.

Tom Slingsby stays warm and dry with HELLY HANSEN FoilX gear

When it comes to global sporting events that combine history, intrigue, athleticism, talent, technology, legendary personalities, and powerful financiers, few can compete with the America’s Cup . Actually, there’s nothing like the America’s Cup for the simple reason that no other team on earth can boast of a winning streak quite like the New York Yacht Club had when they went undefeated in America’s Cup matches from 1851 until 1983 .

New York Yacht Club exterior, built by Warren & Wetmore, 1899-1901 in Beaux-Arts style, at 37 W. ... [+] 44th Street, midtown, New York, NY

But then again, there’s nothing quite like the New York Yacht Club that maintains two legendary “clubhouses”—one in the heart of New York City on 44th Street, known for its Model Room and extensive nautical library, and Harbour Court in Newport, Rhode Island that annually hosts some of North America’s most prestigious sailing events, including its Annual Regatta, Race Week at Newport presented by Rolex, the Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup and the Queen’s Cup.

However, as a sailor and native New Englander who was 15-years old in 1983, I have vivid and heart-breaking memories of Denis Connor and the NYYC losing the Cup to the Australians . But don’t worry! My inner child has recovered (somewhat) since The New York Yacht Club American Magic team is working to finally bring the Cup back to NYC and Newport where it belongs...(lol).

American Magic's AC75 sailing of Barcelona 2024

CrowdStrike Windows Outage—What Happened And What To Do Next

Google confirms play store app deletion—now just 6 weeks away, exactly when apple will launch iphone 16 and iphone 16 pro.

“We intend to compete in AC37 and are hungry and highly motivated to be the most innovative team on and off the water,” explained Hap Fauth, Principal for American Magic when they announced the team would compete in AC37 that begins in August. “We are proud of how our team rebounded during AC36, but we have unfinished business and are committed to investing in technology, design, innovation, and talent so we are best positioned to bring the America’s Cup home!”

And after getting a glimpse all the cutting-edge-custom-made technology the team has developed to make their hydrofoiling race boat (hull, foils, keels, sails, computer software, pedal-powered hydraulic pumps etc.) faster than the competition, I can say they sure have invested in what Fauth said at the beginning... “the technology, design, innovation, and talent” they need to seriously compete for the Cup. However, I can’t really talk about any of it simply because the America’s Cup is more than just another boat race. It’s also a design and technology arms race that leads teams to be highly secretive as well.

But as I learned in my discussion with team Skipper and President of Sailing Operations Terry Hutchinson , not all the technology that’s being developed for the team is as secret as the shape of the hull, foils, and sails even though the tech contributes to performance. And since four of the eight-man crew of an AC75 is comprised of elite endurance athletes that are responsible for creating the hydraulic power required to trim sails and each lifting keel, this is especially true when it comes to the crew clothing and safety devices.

HELLY HANSEN gear worn by American Magic in AC37

That’s where New York Yacht Club American Magic’s partnership with Helly Hansen comes in. Helly Hansen is a global technical apparel brand that shares American Magic’s commitment to innovation, cutting-edge technology. And the partnership works because America Magic’s top athletes, coaches, designers, R&D, engineers, and support teams have worked closely with Helly Hansen to design and manufacture a wide range of gear that will help the team perform on the water and off.

"Partnering with a brand committed to producing technically excellent garments was essential for the team," said Hutchinson. "The Helly Hansen gear worn during the last America's Cup was constantly put to the test and delivered as a high-performing technical product. At American Magic, we need resilient apparel that can perform consistently at the highest level and in the most challenging conditions on and off the water. We're excited to continue to train and race in Helly Hansen apparel as we focus on our high-performance sailing program and target the 37th America's Cup."

Helly Hansen provides technical gear to the American Magic Americas Cup team

After training at the team's base in the Port of Pensacola, FL, Helly Hansen designers and American Magic crew members exchanged feedback that have led to an entirely new collection of gear. As a result of that feedback, the jackets, pants and vests Helly Hansen developed for the team are more breathable and more stretchy along with being more waterproof too.

Helly Hansen Foil X jacket

Two items were popular with the whole team. The Foil X jacket that combines waterproof breathability with 4-way stretchability. And the HH Tech LS shirt that delivers superior quick-dryabilty while also providing 40 SPF sun protection.

The only question now is: Will my 15-year-old self finally be able to celebrate the Cup being back in NYC where it belongs? We’ll just have to tune into 37th America's Cup that’s scheduled to take place in Barcelona from late August through late October to find out.

Ten Westchester County beaches shut down after 1.3 inches of rainfall in 24 hours

Ten Westchester County beaches have been shut down after 1.3 inches of rainfall in the past 24 hours, the county health department said.

Beach closings are based on the number of inches of rain on the watershed, the county health department website said. Heavy rains and storm water drain discharges can directly affect waters. "As a result, these waters may contain high levels of harmful bacteria that may cause illness after a heavy rain," the county said.

Affected are the following:

Mamaroneck : Harbor Island, Beach Point Club, Orienta Beach Club, and Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club

Rye : Coveleigh Club

New Rochelle : Hudson Park Beach, Davenport Club, Greentree Club, and Surf Club on the Sound

When will Westchester beaches reopen?

Based on county health department studies, heavy rainfall in the Mamaroneck River watershed can "greatly impact the quality of water in the Mamaroneck Harbor," according to the health department's website. "Echo Bay in New Rochelle is similarly affected, impacting Hudson Park Beach and Echo Bay Yacht Club.

Note that Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club will remain closed through Monday, when it will be resampled. The health department encouraged residents and visitors to visit t he county's website for beach closing and reopening updates.

Next week's forecast shows the highest chance of rain coming Tuesday and Wednesday with scattered thunderstorms.

It was smooth sailing for opening of minnesota yacht club, the new music festival in st. paul.

Liz and Tom Glenn knew how to plan for a full day at a big music festival with their kids in tow.

The Shoreview family arrived Friday at the inaugural Minnesota Yacht Club Festival on Harriet Island in St. Paul with a blanket, a stroller and other parenting accoutrements like the Tushbaby. That's a fanny-pack device that a parent can strap on and hold a child in front for dancing.

And Liz did just that with Vera, 7, during Michigander, the favorite act of Zander, 4, who studied the Kalamazoo indie rock group on YouTube.

"This is their first concert," said Liz, 42, whose first festival was Lilith Fair back in the 1990s.

Minnesota Yacht Club is the first music festival since 2012 at Harriet Island, which has a long history of such events including Riverfest and Taste of Minnesota.

But as the elitist moniker might suggest, Minnesota Yacht Club (MYC) was a first-class operation — from electronic wrist bands of various strata to riverboat cruises — presented by C3 based in Austin, Texas, which stages Lollapalooza in Chicago and the Austin City Limits Music Festival in Texas.

"They do great on events. It's dialed in," said Jay "J-Bird" Cook, who helped organized the Soundset hip-hop festival in the Twin Cities from 2009 to 2019. He came to MYC with his wife and daughter to see Joan Jett, "one of my childhood crushes."

Such '90s stars as Alanis Morissette and Gwen Stefani on Friday drew a crowd of 34,000, mostly between the ages of 45 and 60 (Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Offspring are slated for Saturday). There are two stages, running opposite each other, with about a minute passing when one stage finishes and the other begins.

Greg Pilkington, 61, of Salt Lake City was disappointed that the Black Crowes, the act he most wanted to see, canceled on Thursday night because of illness. But otherwise he was impressed.

"This is well thought out," said the New Orleans Jazz Fest regular. "The food was OK, better than most fests but not as good as Jazz Fest."

He added that the video screens on the two stages were "small for a venue of this size."

The good thing, several festgoers mentioned, was that you could stay in one spot and still see the other stage even though it was a couple of football fields away.

Chris Foley, 53, of Dayton was impressed by "how much infrastructure they have. I thought they wouldn't put in enough money. The sound is so good we could hear from the St. Paul Hotel. And the vendors are set up so people can spend money as fast as they can."

Some festgoers in long lines might disagree. One bearded man was about 40th in line at the mocktail stand. "It's either this or go sober," he said, declining to give his name. But he'd already done his good deed for the day, volunteering to fill up a large garbage bag with empty cans in exchange for a free festival T-shirt.

Of course, he could have paid $40 for the shirt at the merch tent, where there were special express lanes for Chase cardholders and VIP ticket holders.

Paxton Schenck,14, of Woodbury tapped her feet in the VIP bleachers to Jett's "I Hate Myself for Loving You."

"It's really cool," she said. Her only previous concert, she said, was Katy Perry.

But she and her aunt, Elizabeth Hjelmen, 43, of Minneapolis wanted to head down to the field to get close to the stage for Stefani. Good move, because Stefani's husband, country superstar Blake Shelton, joined her for "Purple Irises."

St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter welcomed the crowd before Stefani took the stage at dinnertime. He asked for a round of applause for all the St. Paul workers who helped make the festival run smoothly in a city park, and praised the partnership with C3 promoters.

"If you want to come back next year," Carter said, "then make some noise."

The crowd hollered back at him.

Several veteran festivalgoers had suggestions for next year.

"They need more seating for VIP," said Amy Ross, 65, of Albuquerque, N.M. "It's not a cheap ticket for a two-day festival — $675. Selling chairs would be a huge money maker."

Sporting a Joan Jett & the Blackhearts T-shirt, Mike Latour, 67, of Minneapolis, a veteran of Coachella and Lollapalooza at Harriet Island in the '90s, wished that Jett's set had lasted longer than 60 minutes.

Corey Baesler, 28, of Minneapolis pronounced MYC "not as cool as Bonnaroo but better than Warped Tour or We Fest. Letting people bring in camping chairs would be my recommendation."

With blankets allowed, festgoers just had to plan ahead — like the Glenns did. They arranged for Grandma to pick up the kids about 6:30 p.m., so Mom and Dad could return for the final four hours of music.

Jon Bream has been a music critic at the Star Tribune since 1975, making him the longest tenured pop critic at a U.S. daily newspaper. He has attended more than 8,000 concerts and written four books (on Prince, Led Zeppelin, Neil Diamond and Bob Dylan). Thus far, he has ignored readers’ suggestions that he take a music-appreciation class.
