NEW YORK TOURS BY GARY

“Is it not cruel to let our city die by degrees, stripped of all her proud monuments, until there will be nothing left of all her history and beauty to inspire our children? . . . this is the time to take a stand, to reverse the tide, so that we won’t all end up in a uniform world of steel and glass boxes.” - Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Nice vantage of the waterfront in Nyc. Feels more like the countryside.

A great Yacht Club to be at. Extremely friendly members who treat people like family. Their is ample parking and a very nice bar area, they also have a large deck overlooking the water with plenty of places to sit. This marina also offers gas/diesel

Went to a retirement party. The place needs a sprucing up. Caterer was ok, so were the drinks. Party was fun...

‘Columbia’ Captures the 1958 America's Cup

In a new class of boats, americans continue to dominate a century-old race.

The year was 1958 and the America’s Cup held its first race in over 20 years, the longest gap between challenges in the history of the ocean-going competition. The Royal Yacht Squadron (RYS), the challenger, launched their newly-christened Sceptre from the Scottish docks. The New York Yacht Club (NYYC), the defender, answered with the Columbia , a boat constructed on City Island in the Bronx.

In the waters off Newport, Rhode Island, Columbia ended up sweeping its rival 4-0.

Sceptre ’s heavy defeat resulted in great disappointment across the Atlantic where hopes for victory on the waves were once again dashed. A combination of factors was cited for her underwhelming results, including inadequate test trials at home. For the U.S., superior yacht design and masterful skills against the wind were proven once again in a new class of boats. Americans would keep defending the Cup successfully with the 12-meters until 1983 when the Royal Perth Yacht Club sailed the Australia II to victory, putting an end to the NYYC’s 132-year reign.

The American Yacht List for 1891 shows for the Columbia a broad pennant, with the white field reaching to the split, and the rest of the field red. The blue star is upright, and each of the red fields has a white upright star. A flag is shown for the Commodore, being the same broad pennant, but rather than a blue star it shows a 13-star circle around a fouled anchor leaning towards the top hoist, all blue. Likewise a flag for the Vice-Commodore is shown with the charge of the white field being a fouled anchor leaning towards the top hoist, blue. (The anchor is larger than for the Commodore, so it does fill most of the field.) The station is given as: 86th Street, North River, New York. The American Yacht List for 1895 shows for the Columbia the same broad pennant, but it now shows three officers flags. The previous Vice-Commodore flag has become the Read Commodore flag, while the Vice-Commodore flag is now equal to the Commodore flag, but with the circle of stars in red. Lloyd�s Register of British and Foreign Shipping, Yacht Register, 1881-1902, all show that same design for the club flag. In 1903, Lloyd's Register of American Yachts shows a burgee instead, as shown above. I think the blue star is intended to be upright, though, as before, while the now single white star points towards the fly. This is also how it's displayed in 1905. In 1906, the design changes slightly, in that it's depict with a slightly more shallow triangle, with it's star a bit smaller, with both stars now of the same size and both upright. I would expect the white and red fields are now of equal size, and the design now gives an impression of balance. A similar design is still shown in 1938, but it has disappeared by 1949. It would appear that the club did not survive WWII.   Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg , 2 July 2019

Old Yacht Clubs of the UWS ( https://ilovetheupperwestside.com/old-yacht-clubs-of-the-uws ) suggests that the club didn't die from fire from the enemy in WWII. Rather, they died from native unfriendly fire in 1934.
