Yacht Clubs

New York Yacht Club

The mission of the New York Yacht Club is to attract and bring together a dedicated group of yachting and naval members to share and foster their interest in yachting and yacht racing; to sustain a leadership role in yachting, its history, its development, the preservation of its traditions, and the furtherance of good seamanship; to promote the highest form of Corinthian sportsmanship in national and international yachting forums and yacht racing competitions.

Stories from New York Yacht Club

On July 30, 1844, John Cox Stevens (1785-1857) and eight of his friends met aboard Stevens’ yacht Gimcrack, anchored off the Battery in New York Harbor. That afternoon, they established the New York Yacht Club (NYYC) and made three critical decisions that day: first, they elected Stevens as Commodore of the Club; second, they agreed to develop rules and regulations to govern the Club; and, third, they resolved to cruise to Newport, Rhode Island, initiating the enduring connection between the Club and New England. The Club’s young fleet of eight schooner yachts set sail from New York Harbor for Newport three days later, marking the Club’s first Annual Cruise. During the passage, they made stops at various ports on Long Island Sound and even held informal speed trials. Upon reaching Newport, the members met up with yachtsmen from Boston to socialize and engage in racing activities. On August 8, the Club hosted a fleet race around Conanicut Island, a popular racecourse today. The year that followed was a busy one for the Club. It adopted its Rules and Regulations, opened its first clubhouse and held its first Annual Regatta.

The New York Yacht Club held its first Annual Regatta–a fleet race for a prize cup–on July 17, 1845. Nine yachts started opposite the new clubhouse at 9 a.m. on the Hudson River. They sailed to a turning mark near Sandy Hook in the Lower Bay and returned—a 38-mile course. The yacht Cygnet won, earning fame as the first winner of North America’s longest-running sailing regatta. Today, the New York Yacht Club has its signature clubhouse, a National Historic Landmark, on West 44th Street in New York, and a waterfront clubhouse, Harbour Court, in Newport. The Club’s first clubhouse survives. It was installed on the grounds of Harbour Court in 1999, where it serves as a reminder of the Club’s origins.

The Club continues to run its Annual Regatta, presented by Rolex. The Club also hosts the biennial Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup, for international Corinthian sailors representing their yacht clubs and nations and the parallel event for U.S. yacht clubs, the Resolute Cup. The Club also hosts and participates in other national, North American and world championships.

rom 1884 to 1900, the clubhouse was a townhouse at 67 Madison Avenue. By 1898, it was chockablock with “models, members, and memorabilia,” according to the New York Daily Tribune. It was then that Commodore J. Pierpont Morgan stunned fellow members by announcing he would donate three lots on West 44th Street to build a new clubhouse. The building, brilliantly designed with nautical motifs by Whitney Warren, opened in 1901. It is famous for its Model Room and Library. The New York Times wrote of the clubhouse in 1906, “Except for the absence of motion, one might fancy oneself at sea.”

In 1987, the New York Yacht Club acquired Harbour Court, the former summer home of Commodore John Nicholas Brown, in Newport, creating a new energy and focus. The waterfront clubhouse opened in 1988 with 1,500 members and guests in attendance. In 2019, Harbour Court hosted the Club’s Dosquicentennial Celebration for members and friends to celebrate the Club’s 175 years of history.

The New York Yacht Club has hosted Race Week at Newport presented by Rolex since 1998 and many other regattas in recent years including world championships for the Etchells, J/70, Farr 40 and Melges 20 classes, the J Class Worlds, the Global Team Race Regatta, the Transatlantic Race, and the IC37 National Championships to name a few.

The Club is also highly active in team and match racing. In 2006, the Club purchased 14 Sonars in dedication of these activities. In 2014, the fleet was increased to 22 Sonars, and today, team racing at the New York Yacht Club offers some of the most intense competition in the country.

Since 2009 the New York Yacht Club has conducted the biennial Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup. After a successful decade of racing in the Swan 42, the eighth one-design class created by the New York Yacht Club since 1900, the Invitational Cup transitioned to using the Club’s fleet of 20 IC37 race boats in 2019. These purpose-built machines, combined with one-design sails from North Sails, identical gear and standardized rig tune, create a level platform for amateur big-boat racing. Yacht club teams worldwide and Corinthian (amateur) sailors flock to Newport to race in this competition. During the first Invitational Cup in 2009, 19 yacht club teams from 14 countries and four continents competed, and the New York Yacht Club emerged as the winner. Since 2009, more than 1,000 sailors, comprised of teams from more than 40 yacht clubs representing 21 countries and all six continents, have competed in at least one edition of the Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup.

In Manhattan, Renewed Grandeur for the Model Room

Posted by Elaine Lembo

Back to News

After 120 years of foot traffic, Foundation-raised funds and fine craftsmanship result in a gleaming oak surface

The Model Room of the New York Yacht Club houses 1,340 scaled replicas , of which 150 are full-hulled and rigged models, with the balance half-models. The earliest model dates from 1819 — Hornet , a Maryland oyster sloop rebuilt in 1846 as a Hell’s Gate Pilot Boat with a schooner rig.

The contents of this world-renown space, which includes a magnificent stone hearth, account for serious foot traffic to the room, where members also hold meetings and events. In 2018, the Foundation paid homage to over a century of heavy use by members and their guests when it undertook an ambitious $677, 054 replacement of the original floor at the 44 th St. Clubhouse by Traditional Line , an architectural restoration firm in Manhattan. The collaboration between Traditional Line and the Club goes back to 2014, when the firm completed a restoration of the Clubhouse library, which also included a floor installation.

More than 500 events have taken place in the Model Room since the 2018 project.

“Restorations like the Model Room floor renew the floor but also restore the grandeur of the Model Room,” says Tim McCormick, Club general manager. “Interiors over time are eroded by activity.  Floors get worn and lose their luster. Intermediate repairs also take a toll and even sanding and refinishing never truly restore the original grandeur. A complete restoration with the right experts results in sharp corners, the glow of a fully replaced floor, a newly upholstered banquette, reapplied gold leaf and before you know, it the room looks and feels grand. We feel it, members feel it and guests are awed by it. It is the vital outcome we look for in all the restoration work the Foundation supports.”

Highlights of the Model Room capital project, accomplished under a tight schedule from June to September 2018 — on time and on budget — include:

• The restoration encompassed the entire 3,000 square-foot floor area.
•  It took 4,000 square feet of hand-selected, kiln-dried American white oak grown and harvested in Michigan and Virginia.
• A temporary Clubhouse shutdown allowed a team of 25 workers to safely haul out the Oriental carpet, which required a temporary closing of 44th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues.
• The Model Room walls, including half hull models, were protected by two layers of plastic, from the baseboard to the underside of the balcony.
• A temporary wall with a door to close off the Model Room was constructed at the top of the stone stairs.
• About 50% of the subfloor was also replaced.
• After removing and safely storing the contents, seven cases that house full models of every America’s Cup defender and challenger were moved five times to accommodate the work. The cases were also wrapped in two layers of plastic.
• A customized dolly was designed and built to lift the cases. The heaviest case was approximately 1,750 pounds, with glass on all sides.
• To move the cases, Traditional Line constructed temporary ramps and bridges, to ensure the subfloor didn’t collapse.
• The stone hearth — which is large enough that five adults can stand inside the firebox alone — in front of the mantel was cleaned and restored.
• The chandeliers were cleaned to remove decades of dust; undersides of the balcony were wiped down.

Project Completion Date: 2018

Investigators Trace Former Police Commissioner’s Ties to Nightclubs

Police officers have been asked for communications that would show that rewards were offered for favorable treatment of night spots, said a person familiar with the investigation.

• Sept. 25, 2024

Federal investigators are seeking communications among New York’s former police commissioner, his twin brother and officers that might show payments made in exchange for favors to nightclubs, according to a person with direct knowledge of the investigation.

The investigation is focused on cellphone records and communications involving the former commissioner, Edward A. Caban, and his brother James Caban dating back to Jan. 1, 2018, according to the person.

Investigators are looking for evidence that would support bribery, fraud and conspiracy charges, said the person, who, lacking authorization to discuss the case publicly, asked to speak anonymously. No one in the Police Department has been arrested or charged.

Tracking Charges and Investigations in Eric Adams’s Orbit

Four federal corruption inquiries have reached into the world of Mayor Eric Adams of New York. Here is a closer look at the charges against Mr. Adams and how people with ties to Mr. Adams are related to the inquiries.

The person’s account gave a fuller picture of what investigators have been seeking as they have fanned out through the city, issuing search warrants and subpoenas to members of Mayor Eric Adams’s administration, which has been engulfed in at least four federal inquiries that have already led to several resignations.

Edward Caban, 57, was the first to resign on Sept. 12 , at the request of City Hall, which had asked him to step aside after federal agents seized his phone on Sept. 4 as part of a criminal investigation.

Mr. Caban, whose departure ended a career that spanned more than 30 years at the Police Department, said he was leaving because “the noise around recent developments” had made it impossible for him to lead the agency.

His lawyers have said he is not the investigation’s target.

“He expects to cooperate fully with the government,” his lawyers, Russell Capone and Rebekah Donaleski, said Wednesday.

Sean Hecker and David Patton, lawyers for James Caban, a former police officer who was fired from the department more than two decades ago, said that he “unequivocally denies any wrongdoing.”

Mr. Caban was fired after he detained and threatened a livery cabdriver whom he had accused of stealing money from his wife’s purse.

His lawyers described him as a consultant who serves as a liaison with the department and works for a private company that they did not name. The work, Mr. Hecker and Mr. Patton said, “is perfectly legal, especially given his previous career as a N.Y.P.D. officer.”

Federal agents from the U.S. attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York and the Internal Revenue Service are conducting the investigation. Agents seized the phones of both Caban twins, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

The police declined to comment. “Any questions regarding the investigation should be directed to the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” the department said in an email.

A spokesman for that office declined to comment. The I.R.S. did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Police Department officials have said that federal investigators asked for the phones of several officers.

At least three — two lieutenants and a detective — have been contacted by federal agents, according to the person with knowledge of the investigation.

One lieutenant was served a subpoena by the I.R.S. to testify before a grand jury, the person said. The other lieutenant and the detective, who worked in the commissioner’s office, had their phones seized, the person said. Other department officials whose phones were seized include Mr. Caban’s chief of staff and two Queens precinct commanders, two other people with knowledge of the matter have said.

The detective contacted by federal agents is assigned to security details, said Scott Munro, the president of the police detectives’ union. The detective “is just a potential witness in whatever they’re looking into,” he said. “We’re confident our member has done nothing wrong.”

Mr. Hecker and Mr. Patton said that James Caban had a police security detail.

“The N.Y.P.D. protection provided to Mr. Caban was solely for his safety given his close relationship with his identical twin brother, Commissioner Caban, who faces numerous threats to his security given his position,” Mr. Hecker and Mr. Patton said in a statement. “Our client has fully cooperated with law enforcement and, once their investigation is complete, it will be clear that these claims are unfounded.”

The investigators are examining a wide range of information. According to the person with knowledge of the inquiry, they are seeking:

Records or evidence of payments from nightclubs, bars or restaurants to James Caban or to any members of law enforcement.

Evidence of any actions taken by members of law enforcement at the request of any nightclub, bar or restaurant.

Records of promotions or transfers of members of law enforcement.

Officers’ testimony surrounding the department’s rules and regulations around conflicts of interest and accepting gifts, services or money.

The two lieutenants who were contacted by federal officials work in special operations units of the department that are charged with responding to nightclubs, restaurants and bars that have chronic complaints against them.

None of the three officers are targets of the investigation, according to the person.
