Sailing is the focus at Bayview Yacht Club
The reason sailors join Bayview Yacht Club differs for each member.
For some its the camaraderie, for others it may be the restaurant or its location on the banks of the Detroit River. Most agree, though, that it's the club's rigorous focus on sailing that sets Bayview apart from other clubs.
For Lynn Kotwicki, it was the club's legacy of racing champions.
"I knew the history, I knew the reputation. I knew the America's Cup sailors and sailors across a number of classes that were members," says Kotwicki of Royal Oak, who became a member in the early 2000s. A competitive sailor, she grew up around powerboats, but focused on sailing around age 10.
Kotwicki developed the yearly Women on Water regatta at Bayview in an effort to draw more women to the sport. She says Bayview is known globally because members like herself travel the world's waterways leaving behind the club's flag, known as a burgee.
"When I compete, whether it's in Portugal, Brazil or Sweden, or wherever, I always take the burgee and leave it there at that club. It's one of those things that ties you to home, but then again it makes notoriety for the club around the world, as well."
This year, Bayview celebrates 100 years in Detroit. The six-acre club at 100 Clairpointe, off East Jefferson, offers members access to boat wells, banquet facilities, a bar and restaurant and plenty of social activities. For all the stereotypes that may be associated with yacht clubs — exclusivity, old money, polo shirts — Commodore Hanson Bratton says Bayview aims to be inclusive and welcomes anyone interested in the sport of sailing.
"Bayview, as far as private clubs go, has a pretty narrow focus in terms of sailing," says Bratton, who will serve as commodore for one year, per tradition. "We don't have a lot of powerboats here ... we don't have a swimming pool, we don't have racquet courts and all that, so a lot of it is truly focused on sailing."
Bayview hosts regattas regularly. Besides a Thursday night series, the annual Summer Match Racing Invitational will take place this weekend, and, later this summer, the yacht club will host the Detroit Cup Aug. 27-30. The international sailing competition — which partners with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metropolitan Detroit — is spectator-friendly and has onsite commentary to add to the excitement of competition.
Bayview is best known for creating the annual Port Huron to Mackinac Boat Race, which began in 1925. Frank Kern, a member since 1996, has collected extensive history on the race. Kern says when Bayview opened, there were only six members. Today there are around 1,000.
"Bayview started 100 years ago in 1915 and it was literally a fishing shack on motor boat row, which today is the boat basin owned by Gregory Marina (two miles west of Bayview)," Kern says.
One of the most popular aspects of Bayview in terms of boating is the adult and youth sailing programs, where people of almost any age can learn the basics of the sport. The Junior Sailing Program is open to youths ages 8-18 and offers a two-week "Learn to Sail" program ($450) or a summer-long program ($1,150).
Sailors are not required to be members of BYC, nor do they need to own a boat; they just need some close-toed shoes, a life vest and sun block.
Jessica Dodge of Grosse Pointe Park started her fourth summer in the sailing class last week.
"When I came in, I didn't even like sailing, but I love it so much now," says Dodge, who will be a freshman at Grosse Pointe South High School after her summer on the water. "The community is so nice and everyone is really helpful. I've learned so much about sailing. They teach you everything."
"And it's not just sailing; we play games and you make a lot of friends."
The final youth sailing class begins Monday, adult classes are under way, and a second wave of the program starts in mid-July.
Bridget Nutter joined Bayview as a junior member of the sailing program in 1997. She said Bayview offers a great way to make lifelong connections.
"I grew up in the junior sailing program and I was lucky enough to meet a lot of people who are still some of my closest friends today," says Nutter of Grosse Pointe Park.
"We've always been a club that prioritizes racing over anything else, although the social aspect is a close second. You can walk into the bar almost any time and see someone dressed up for work talking to another member covered in paint, and they're both equally at home because the love of the sport is what brought them in the door."
In addition to beginning sailors, Bayview also is home to champions, as demonstrated by the many shelves stocked with trophies throughout the club. Bayview even supports Olympic sailors. Two Olympic sailing teams — Bora Gulari and Solvig Sayre, and Alex Hume and Matt Graham — are working with the club to compete in the 2016 summer games.
Bratton stresses that while it can be costly to maintain and house a big boat, sailing can be for people in all economic situations.
"People think that it's a rich man's sport. The fact of the matter is that there are people that have money here and lot of what happens requires that financial support — owning a big boat — but people that don't have a lot of money also are very much welcome here and are needed to support sailing," Bratton says.
"All these boats need people to crew, and everybody here is willing to take on somebody and teach them what to do, and not even in the adult sailing program, just one of the regular boats that go out, we'll take them out and teach them how to sail and see if they're interested in it. Eventually, if they think they can become members, they do, but there's no obligation to become a member."

Bayview Yacht Club
Bayview Yacht Club was founded in 1915 by four sailors, E. Lloyd Kurtzwarth, P.C. Williamson, Floyd Nixon and Paul Diedrich. Back then the club had only one boat, the 18-foot (5.5 m) Wrinkle, which P.C. Williamson sailed with the three other founders. Bayview’s first clubhouse was a two-story tin shanty built atop a floored-over boat well at the foot of what was then known as Motor Boat Lane, adjacent to Water Works Park. Bayview moved to its present clubhouse and harbor, at the foot of Clairpointe, in 1929-30.
Stories from Bayview Yacht Club
Situated on the banks of the Detroit River, Bayview is known as the Midwest’s “Shrine to Nautical Culture.” Many graduates of the junior sailing program have gone on to sail at the high school and collegiate level, and some have even reached the Olympics. Their Adult Learn to Sail Program, offered to members and non-members alike, has been so successful over the past few years that they have had to increase the number of classes to accommodate the demand. The club also offers courses in Race Management, US Sailing Judging and Safety at Sea. In past years, Bayview Members have brought home awards in the Moth Worlds, Richardson Cup, Cal 25 Nationals, Pineapple Cup, Beneteau 36.7 Nationals, U20 Nationals and DN Ice Boat Worlds. The club is responsible for organizing and sponsoring more than 15 regattas throughout the course of the year, including the famous Port Huron to Mackinac Boat Race, now known as the Bayview Mackinac Race.

The shrine of Naughtical Culture. New club house, new food. Everyone was very nice and good. I tried the hummer; which is a drink, invented there by Sir Jerome Adams & it was perhaps one of the best drinks I've ever had. The new club will take time to get warmer finishes but still has an amazing ambiance with the addition of the upstairs bar!! The place is a great!
Beautiful place! My friend keeps his boat here and it was very clean and pleasant. Haven't gone in to eat yet but I plan on it next summer
We had the most spectacular dinner and service there on an early Saturday evening last week. After a great dinner we ordered Hummers to take outside and enjoy sitting along the waters edge. Perfect in all categories
Great drinks! Best Hummer ever.:) Best bartenders in Detroit! Oysters and mozzarella sticks also great!
Hummer and Spanish Coffee!
My wife recently signed up for sailing lessons - been a dream for quite a while - and is enjoying the lessons, the learning and the experience. BONUS - during lessons, we are granted "temporary membership," and so have frequented the club 3 times - twice for dinner and once for a quick afternoon drink. The view is lovely, the people unpretentious and friendly, the service accommodating, and the food delicious. What more could you ask for? We are strongly considering joining as members once the lessons finish. Perhaps the best part? Original HUMMERS!!!!!
This is an amazing Yacht Club! Stopped on our way up the river(s) and down! Cookie makes an amazing cosmo and tops it off with a smile that lights up the room! Keith must do 100,000 steps in a shift and never forgets to check on you! He makes everyone feel special! I cannot forget to give a shoutout to Connie! She works above and beyond her duties and her scheduled hours (just to make sure everything is okay). As the daughter of a veteran I also have to appreciate their 9:00 am flag raising and as a pediatric occupational therapist, a kudos to their very active junior sailing program. You can not go wrong here!
Great club! Fun loving people. Amazing views of the Detroit River from the back patio area. Food is great. Staff are pleasant and seem happy to be there. Sailing and races are top notch.
The BEST yacht racing venue outside of Newport RI or SF. Legendary bar.
I'm out with a friend who took me to dinner tonight and truth be told... I planned my meal around coming to BYC after going to dinner at whereveritwashewantedtotakeme for the sole purpose of getting some of Bayview's own, Original HUMMERS!! The home of the original recipe concocted by longtime legendary bartender extraordinaire, Jerome Adams!!

Bayview Yacht Club sails into its second century
From a tin shanty to the Great Lakes "Shrine to Nautical Culture," a lot of water has passed by Bayview Yacht Club on its way down the Detroit River the past 100 years.
Though not the oldest yacht club in the Detroit area — the Detroit Yacht Club was founded in 1868, for example — Bayview is considered the granddaddy of pure sailing clubs in Michigan.
Standing across from the eastern tip of Belle Isle, its dock entrance off 100 Clairpointe in Detroit, Bayview is celebrating a century of recreational and competitive sailing — and countless drinks at the clubhouse bar overlooking the Detroit River and Canada — this year.
Bayview Yacht Club also will be hosting the 91st Bell's Beer Bayview Mackinac Race, as it has done since 1925, when only 12 boats competed in the inaugural freshwater, long-distance sailboat event from Port Huron to Mackinac Island.
On Saturday, more than 100 crafts from Bayview's fleet, including "Stripes," the Great Lakes 70 yacht owned and sailed by former University of Michigan athletic director Bill Martin, will be among the fleet of more than 250 boats scheduled to leave Port Huron for the straits of Mackinac.
Bayview Commodore Hanson Bratton will sail aboard the 60-foot "Eagle I," although he was to compete on his own yacht "Taz," in the double-handed crew class, until his sailing partner suffered an injured knee.
"The Port Huron-Mackinac race is so very important to the club," said Bratton, 51, a self-employed engineer from Grosse Pointe Woods whose father was a Detroit cop. "But it's only part of what we do. We also compete in open-lake racing and one-design regattas and have a junior sailing program, too. We've come a long way since four gentlemen formed the Bayview Yacht Club in 1915."
They were sailors E. Lloyd Kurtzwarth, P.C. Williamson, Floyd Nixon and Paul Diedrich, who chipped in $14 a piece and founded the yacht club in a two-story tin shanty atop a floored-over boat well at the foot of what was known then as Motor Boat Lane, adjacent to Water Works Park.
Bayview moved to its present location, at the foot of Clairpointe, in 1929-30.
With its sweeping vistas, two harbors, commodore's room filled with photos of men with beards and ties, fine restaurant and long mahogany bar, Bayview could be a snooty establishment for a privileged few.
Instead, says Bratton, it is a private working man's yacht club for "those with a genuine interest in sailing and enjoying the company of good people."
It houses the venerable J.L. Hudson Trophy, presented to the boat with the best corrected time in Division 1 of the Port Huron-Mackinac race.
"The founding members of this club were born out of Detroit," said Bratton, who joined Bayview as a member in 1994. "They came out of tool-and-dye shops related to the early automotive industry. A lot of these guys came from nothing. They grew into the money they had. It was new money, and people remembered where they came from."
With a membership of almost 1,000 when counting junior members (kids), intermediates (young adults aged 25-35) and the senior boating group (over 35), Bayview Yacht Club is robust.
But, if you are an active sailor, or someone with an interest in the sport and seeking an opportunity to join a club, Bayview has an open door.
"We welcome anyone here who has an interest in sailing," Bratton said. "Yes, you need to be nominated and get a sponsor, but if you have an interest in the sport, own a boat or are looking to crew on a boat or assist with the race committee, for example, you are eligible to join us."
For a price, of course, said Bratton.
"You have to be able to pay your dues but, compared to other clubs around here, they are hugely inexpensive," he said
The cost of joining Bayview, according to Bratton, is a one-time initiation fee of $2,500 per member that can be paid over a year.
"The monthly dues are $145 for active members," Bratton said.
Fred Kreger can attest to that.
He joined Bayview in 1952 and raced in his first Port Huron-to-Mackinac the same year.
At 83, Kreger still spends three or four days a week at the club, racing several times a week and helping with the junior sailors.
He will compete in the Port Huron-Mackinac race this weekend on "Carinthia," a J/120. It will be his 62nd race.
"I was always interested in boats since I was a little kid," said Kreger, who has sailed all over the Great Lakes, East Coast, California, Florida and Europe. "I met a girl whose father owned a sailboat. We got married, and I'm still married, but not to her."
Along with the sailing, Kreger, who has lived all his life in Grosse Pointe Park, said meeting his friends and newcomers at Bayview is what keeps him young.
"Bayview Yacht Club is very much part of me," said Kreger, a former engineer and salesman. "I don't go to the bar as much as I used to, but I still enjoy telling and hearing tall tales over a drink or two.
"On the water — I do everything but cook. You don't want me cooking for you. But I'll fill in anywhere I'm needed. Trim, navigate, steer, just ask me."
Peter Wenzler is the 2015 Bell's Beer Bayview Mackinac Race chairman and member of Bayview Yacht Club since 1990.
He'll sail on the 65-foot "Equation" in this weekend's race.
"I can't wait to go racing," said Wenzler, 49, an investment real estate broker from Grosse Pointe Farms. "The tradition of the race, the friends you make, just being out there and looking across at the blue horizon. It doesn't get better than that."
Wenzler and Bratton have raced Martin, who just finished first in class in the Chicago-to- Mackinac race this week.
"He's a stalwart," Wenzler said of Martin. "He's a straight-up great guy, and his boats are always in the hunt. He's great to be around at Bayview."
Wenzler believes Bayview Yacht Club can match any sailboat club in America.
"It's right up there with clubs in the Gulf, Chesapeake and any of the Great Lakes," Wenzler said. "We have won the Canada's Cup four times. It ranks in the upper echelon of competitive sailing clubs in the United States and is recognized worldwide.
"But the beauty of it is," added Wenzler, "we are a humble club, but proud. Bayview Yacht Club is indicative of Detroit."
Bratton tells a story that pretty much sums up Bayview's attitude and character, a club where teamwork and sportsmanship is paramount.
It happened about five years ago, he said, when someone tried to erect reserved parking spot signs outside the Bayview clubhouse for board members.
"They purchased metals posts and set them up," Bratton said. "Within the hour, a number of members had cut the signs off the posts and tossed them in the river."
Kreger had a tale of his own, too.
"There was a fellow here who wasn't using his boat much, just had it tied up," Kreger said. "We sodded the deck with grass and used it for teeing off on. He didn't take it real well."
