Attended two multi day Regattas at Larchmont. The staff were very respectful and helpful, even though they knew that I was not a member. I had an issue with a lost rain jacket and they had a very well designed lost and found system which resulted in the retrieval of my jacket. BTW is you need a high quality foul weather jacket, there are several that are unclaimed. Had numerous meals there from grab and go lunches, continental breakfasts and social dinner buffets. One day the coffee was so good, I thought they had put cocaine in it. The next day it had grounds. Stayed in Commodore suite for three days. The room was small with twin beds. The bathroom doors did not close. The view of Long Island Sound did compensate and I felt the price was fair for the location. My only complaint if continental breakfast was that hot pots should have been primed. They had a couple of different models and it took a minute to figure how to pump and then the next day my beverage of choice would be in a different style pot. Too early in morning to be doing trouble shooting in an un caffeinated state. They will not sell Larchmont Yacht Club branded merchandise to non members. That is their prerogative. I have plenty of LYC SWAG from regattas. The boat staff are very professional and respectful. Being in a regatta on LYC and American Yacht Club loaned boats, I was looking at every minor deficiency to win in One Design Racing. They were supportive where possible and within the Regatta sailing instructions.

Classic, elegant yet beautiful overlooking the Long Island Sound. I attended a wedding reception held here nearly a decade ago with my former love and his family. The service is somewhat attentive as well as the food is catered. Sunday brunch wearing Gucci and Burberry bags with Manolo Blahnik shoes complete with Tiffany jewelry of men and women, which envisioning it is very common yet a staple to old money to this historic yacht club. The view is amazing as well as the surrounding houses. The lawn is always freshly cut and well maintained. This yacht club is historic as members obviously come from old money. There is an elephant shaped plant on their lawn that is picturesque. I rate it four stars as the service and food are not superb.

Easy going Yacht club on the Long Island Sound. Interior is clapboard paneled and there are wood tables to have lunch at. Plenty of boat-themed paraphernalia hanging from walls. Staff quizzical: underage, they have no answers! Parking is tight. Magnificent views from front lawn over shimmering water. Rebel: 4

Attended a rehearsal dinner here recently. The building is gorgeous and very nicely inside...even the bathroom was beautiful! The cocktail hour was very nice with lots of appetizers being passed around and plenty of cheese, crackers, and drinks. The staff was friendly and attentive. The seated dinner was nice. I had the chicken francese which was really good and the portion sizes were great. I loved the view from the dining room and only wish we could have seen it during daytime so I could've gotten an even better view of the water!

Rude employees! The tennis courts and tennis shop were so disorganized. The manager of the tennis facilities did not accommodate me and my needs at all. Will not come back here again!

Classy, Elegant, and Breathtakingly beautiful! My boyfriend's company has a company/family picnic here once a year and this year I decided to attend his company picnic with him since I've never been to any of his company functions. This place is massive with lots of grass area for little kids to run around and others to take a nice stroll. There's a gorgeous view overlooking Long Island. The staff here are very friendly and kind. There was lots of of food - such as lobster with butter, pasta salad, burgers, hot dogs, salad, dessert, ice cream, and open bar. The lobster was so moist, tender, and just amazing! I had two for myself. The pasta salad we had was delish as well! I really enjoyed the picnic and it was nice to meet his colleagues and it was a nice escape from the city for a few hours. I look forward to his company function next year at Larchmont Yacht Club.

We had a luncheon there following my grandmother's funeral two days ago. My aunt and uncle are members there and it was a very nice, yet emotional time with my family. Honestly, I have no idea how much I can put in this review without losing it. This place is absolutely beautiful and has so much history. It's been around for over 200 years and this place IS old money. The staff was extraordinary and the food was quite pleasing. My mom has told me stories about how her proms were here. She is a real-life Lorelai Gilmore, rebelling against her debutante destiny and posh upbringing. Maybe I should fill in the fact that I'm adopted and that is how my connection to this place lies. Anyway, the view from the dining room is amazing. Overlooking the Long Island sound and just thinking of the really nice homes surrounding this place. I guess I really like it here. Quiet, peaceful and I'm sure that I would most likely get mistaken for staff here too. I left off the fifth star because even though I have a connection with this place...I will never be a member here. I'm too dark; too poor... don't mind me...I'm not myself right now...

An Oasis - as good as it gets. Tons of rich people, sure, but very few bad attitudes. Old money, classy people.

Great location and great place... Staff is helpful and kind. Good $ connections to be made here... Best part is it is 40mins away from Manhattan yet feels like Rhode Island... Will def come back again.

This place is so classic and old school. Everyone has money oozing from their veins. Perfect place for Sunday brunch overlooking the water, wearing Lilly Pulitzer, and storing your expensive sailboat. I still give it 5 stars since it has a great history and sometimes it's the perfect place for traveling back in time. Also the "ladies' powder room" is nicer than my house.

Larchmont Yacht Club – A Living Legacy

By Buttons Padin

Organized in 1880, Larchmont Yacht Club is the oldest yacht club on Long Island Sound.

Over the century-plus of its operation, much has changed at LYC, yet as much has purposefully stayed the same.

In the beginning

From its humble beginnings, operating out of a waterside chapel in Larchmont’s Horseshoe Harbor, LYC’s mission has always been to provide excellent yacht racing accompanied by gracious and welcoming camaraderie between sailors. Initially, the Club’s major annual event was its July Fourth Regatta, which drew huge fleets of giant yachts of all description. Then in 1896, to replicate the success of the UK’s Cowes Week, Larchmont Race Week was introduced to offer an extended regatta for sailors from the East Coast and Europe. Having missed only two years during World War II, Larchmont Race Week continues to be the major Long Island Sound regatta each year. To remain vital, Race Week has evolved to reflect the ever-changing yachting community to include one-design and racer/cruisers on the weekends, with Larchmont Junior Race Week on the weekdays, attracting over 500 young sailors from all around the East Coast.

Taking it all in

Remember the Maine ! The steam whistle of the U.S. Naval ship that exploded and sank in Havana Harbor on February 15, 1898 is one of many historical artifacts displayed at the Club.

As you walk through the Clubhouse, you’ll be accompanied by the spirits of some of the world’s finest yachtsmen, each whom called LYC their home. In the Commodore’s Room, the portrait of Wilson Marshall takes center stage, reflecting his many accomplishments including his Atlantic crossing in 1908, setting a transatlantic record that stood for over a century. Commodore James B. Ford has his own room named after him in honor of his dozen years at the Club’s helm, keeping LYC on course during the Great Depression.

Fast forward to the 1930s and sit on the Veranda with Olin and Rod Stephens as their Dorade swings on a mooring in the harbor. Then there’s the legendary sailor Arthur Knapp, Jr., whose accomplishments ranged from serving as tactician aboard Ranger in the 1938 America’s Cup to winning virtually every major one-design championship of the era. And don’t forget Knapp’s IOD rivals, Cornelius Shields, Sr. and Jr. Not only was this rivalry carried out in IODs, but also in Interclub Dinghies during the winter and in 12 Metres as the Shields raced Columbia against Knapp in Weatherly . The list goes on to include names such as Rudolph J. Schaefer and Vincent J. Monte-Sano to more contemporary sailors including Mary Savage, Charles “Butch” Ulmer, Senet and Clay Bischoff, Danny Pletsch, Cardwell Potts, Jason Carroll, Andrew Weiss, Chris Sheehan, and Chad Corning. An inspiring group to sail amongst, to say the least.

Contributions to Yachting – local, regional and national

Along the way, Larchmont Yacht Club has earned a reputation for hosting world-class regattas. LYC runs dozens of regattas/weekend races every season and has also hosted many International/National/North American Championships ranging from many Adams and Mallory Cups, the U.S. Team Racing Championship twice, the U.S. Disabled Championship twice (with American Yacht Club), the Etchells Worlds, Viper 640 NAs, J/105 NAs, and this October the J/109 NAs.

In addition to these championships, LYC’s regular year-round sailing schedule remains robust during a period when other clubs’ participation levels are dwindling. The Larchmont Winter Sailing Program, initially started by Corny Shields, Sr., continues to be a draw for dozens of world-class sailors year after year. Each October, Larchmont co-hosts the Intercollegiate Offshore Regatta, the largest collegiate big boat regatta in the country, with the Storm Trysail Foundation. And, during the summer, LYC’s junior program is one of the best and largest in the country, producing outstanding junior sailors such as current Girls I-420 World Champions Carmen and Emma Cowles.

Taking a different tack, this summer marks the tenth Robie Pierce One-Design Regatta for sailors with disabilities, run in conjunction with American Yacht Club. The Robie was created to bring an adaptive regatta to the Sound, and today’s Robie also includes the Robie Pierce Women’s Invitational, the world’s only all-women adaptive regatta.

Continuing the legacy

Larchmont Yacht Club is in a unique position, both geographically and resource-wise. Being the closest major yacht club to New York City, and only a 12-minute walk from the train station, LYC offers a the convenience and access post-college sailors living in the City require. Add to that LYC’s ongoing team racing program and these 20-somethings love the Club. Enabling them to fully appreciate what a LYC membership has to offer (sailing, dining, tennis, pool, paddle, etc.), these young sailors can join LYC as Summer Sailing Members at an extremely attractive price. The result has been a steady flow of young, highly skilled sailors becoming part of the LYC family and carrying on the Club’s traditions.

This summer’s highlights

Looking ahead to this summer, Larchmont Yacht Club has its two major annual events teed-up to be successes. The Edlu Race, the Club’s annual distance race (now set at 32 NM for spinnaker boats with shorter courses for non-spinnaker boats) will be sailed on Saturday, May 12. As the Club’s Edlu promotions say, “Come for the great race, stay for the great party.” LYC has taken heed of the fact that successful on-the-water events need to be matched with equally impressive activities ashore. Last year’s Edlu saw more boats crossing the line than in over a decade, and the party ashore was all you could ask for. You can even race if you don’t have a formal rating by entering the “Club Division” and sailing with a LYC-assigned rating. You can register for the Edlu at YachtScoring.com .

Then, July 15-22, it’s the 120th Larchmont Race Week with separate circles for one-designs, racer/cruisers, Vanguard 15s and Ideal 18s. There will also be classic yachts racing the first weekend and the final Sunday will be the fourth annual Around Execution Rocks Race, a multi-class, single starting line race around the venerable Execution Lighthouse and back. Set a new ExRx record, as Linda & Andrew Weiss’ Sydney 43 Christopher Dragon did last year, and win a case of rum.

Admittedly, Larchmont Race Week, like many long standing regattas, went through some lean years, but thanks to efforts by the LYC Yachting Committee, new life and vitality has been breathed into this iconic event, causing many “old timers” to remark, “Now this is the Larchmont Race Week I remember!” Yes, the competition, fun, and legendary camaraderie of Larchmont Race Week have returned. You can register at YachtScoring.com .

Maintaining its legacy

Larchmont Yacht Club continues to be one of the leading yacht clubs in the world, with the right location, great sailors, gracious hospitality, and a willingness to give back to the sport of yacht racing through regattas, volunteerism, and providing competitors. Today, the legacy of competition and camaraderie first envisioned 138 years ago lives on and, perhaps, has become stronger with every passing year. The Flag Officers of Larchmont Yacht Club invite all sailors to participate in the Edlu Race and Larchmont Race Week and, when at the Club, feel free to explore the art, history, and artifacts that so boldly express where the Club has come from…and where it’s going.

Description

Among the many construction projects performed at the club over a two decade period, was the gut/rebuild of the entire Quarterdeck adding new mechanicals (electrical, plumbing and HVAC), spray foam insulation, new mahogany floors and ceilings, incorporating original hand-turned columns into the new design. The main design feature is the 200 LF. NanaWall door system that was integrated into the design, allowing the new Quarterdeck space to transform from an acclimated enclosed space into a delightful open veranda in less than 30 minutes. Also included in this phase was the complete gut-renovation to the adjacent Shaffer and Club Rooms, a newly renovated a la carte kitchen, club banquet facilities and basement.

Larchmont Yacht Club

Larchmont Yacht Club is the second-oldest yacht club in the United States. Conceived in 1880 on the cleft rocks of Larchmont Manor, the club has grown to a membership in excess of 600, with a continued mission to instill and enhance an interest in yachting and the spirit of sportsmanship in members and their families. Set within a mature forest of deciduous trees, the club is home to one of the largest competition and recreational swimming pools in the Northeast – more than 1.6 million gallons – captured by a seawall in what was once a natural cove. Unfortunately, this iconic pool fell victim to its own success, and could not be retrofitted to comply with current health codes.

SWA/Balsley was commissioned to envision a master plan that would improve the club’s operational capacity, allow for an expansion of its membership, and increase its revenues. The plan renews focus on the breathtaking views to the Horseshoe Harbor and Long Island Sound, raising the existing elevation more than seven feet. More than doubling the pool area’s capacity, the design also provides an expanded bi-level bar and grill; separate adult, child, and recreational facilities; and a waterfront promenade that encourages views out from the pool decks above. Circulation improvements and grade manipulation improve the property’s resilience in the face of sea level rise and storm surges, while reconstruction of the pool prevents harmful chemicals from leaching into the waters of the Long Island Sound.

The project transforms the largest undeveloped tract within Toronto into an iconic and dynamic, fully integrated, transit-oriented mixed-use district. Capitalizing on the racetrack’s legacy and the site’s natural, cultural, and locational assets, the project is designed to become a new heart in Toronto.

Larchmont Yacht Club

When the Larchmont Yacht Club was founded in 1880, the United States had been a nation for 104 years – its total population 50 million. The village of New Rochelle was settled in 1688; Mamaroneck, as part of Rye, had also long been existence; but in between these two, there was no Larchmont.

Stories from Larchmont Yacht Club

In the early evening of Memorial Day 1880, five young men were warming themselves over a bonfire built in a cleft of rocks on the shore of what is now Horseshoe Harbor, in Larchmont Manor. These five loved boats and they had just finished a hard day of racing. Their boats were part of a small mixed fleet of jib and mainsail sandbaggers, sloops and cat boats moored in Horseshoe Harbor. Since a bonfire is scarcely the most comfortable way to close a hard day at sea, it is not surprising that these young men fell to discussing the possibility of organizing a yacht club.

That evening, it was decided: they would organize a yacht club to be called the Larchmont Yacht Club and invite others to join. The problem of a Clubhouse was resolved quickly: Fred Flint was elected a committee of one to approach his father, T.J.S. Flint, who was President of the Larchmont Manor Company and owned most of the property in Larchmont Manor from the Post Road south to the shoreline. On this property was the small Union Church. The young charter members made a deal with the elder Mr. Flint for the use of the church as a clubhouse and signed a lease for $1.00 per annum. However, it was made clear that the newly formed Club would have use of the church every day except Sunday – when the clubhouse would be opened to them only after church services were over.

The club membership grew so fast, however, that a larger clubhouse was soon needed, and in the fall of 1881 the club leased the Fleming residence near the church for the annual rental of $1,500 per year. The club continued to expand so it became necessary in 1884, to lease the Shepard House. Three years later, in 1887, the year of the incorporation of the Larchmont Yacht Club, the present site of eleven acres was purchased at a cost of $10,000 from Benjamin A. Carver, a railroad magnate. The original Carver residence was much smaller than the present clubhouse – the east and west wings having been added subsequently to the purchase. The Pandemonium was built fifteen years later in 1902; the Junior Clubhouse was the Carver stable, and the basement was the cow barn while the first floor housed the horses.
