Croton Yacht Club 

Some day, I have to sit down with a bunch of the old salts to make sure I get this story straight.

The way I understand it, the club began back in the 1950's as a fairly informal place to keep you boat on the river.  Boat owners got together, went to the hills of Croton and cut down saplings to use as piles.  Back then there was only one main dock with each boat backed in stern-to. 

The original clubhouse was a barge which also served as a breakwater.  I think there was a second clubhouse built on land near the shore.  Many great stories begin with "back in the old clubhouse"...

Circa 1992, the existing clubhouse was built.  Like all major projects, this one truly was a team effort and was lead by Sammy.  Personally, I think the clubhouse came out beautiful.  It is a very comfortable building and has items the previous clubhouse didn't have such as up to date plumbing, heating and A/C.

She also has plenty of windows to take advantage of the panoramic view of the Hudson.  The wrap-around deck also allows visitors to enjoy the surroundings. 

Geez, I really need some help here folks.  If anyone has input, I'd appreciate it...
