The Boston Yacht Club was founded in 1866 by three Dartmouth alumni. One of the founding members, Nat Herreshoff, drafted the first sailing measurement rule that later became the basis for future handicap rating systems. In 1874, the first clubhouse was opened at City Point, South Boston. The membership soon grew to more than 250 people with over 80 yachts. Through a series of mergers, the club expanded its presence to six different stations that included Rowe's Wharf in Boston, Hull, Mass., City Point in South Boston, Marblehead and Dorchester, Mass., and Five Islands in Sheepscot Bay, Maine. Currently, the club operates from a single station in Marblehead, Mass., with 500 members and 400 yachts. The club also supports numerous charitable causes through events such as the Hospice Benefit Regatta, Child Benefit Regatta and the National Disabled Sailing Championships.

The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because my experience was limited to drinks, and I know the club has much more to offer. The staff were fantastic--even though we arrived late and stayed...
