Founded in 1912, The Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club has a large and successful junior sailing program whose participants, past and present, keep its adult sailing and racing activities vigorous. Secure in its sailing heritage, the club is proud both of the sailing accomplishments of its members and of its contributions to the broader sailing community in its first hundred years.

LITTLE EGG HARBOR YACHT CLUB BECOMES NSHOF FOUNDING MEMBER

From the commodore:.

"The Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club is proud to become a Founding Member of the National Sailing Hall of Fame. As a club with a strong sailing tradition and a two time winner of the St Petersburg Trophy, The Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club and its members are delighted to join NSHOF in preserving America's sailing legacy and honoring those who have made outstanding contributions to American Sailing. Our members look forward to visiting this landmark for sailing enthusiasts."

Kevin McGlynn, Commodore - Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club

When Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club was formed in 1912, the only access to Beach Haven was by ferry, and residents were using the island for extended summer vacations.

Over the first few years LEHYC acquired some property on Berkeley Avenue and built a dock.  Activities at the club included sailing races and motorboat races, parties held at the large local hotels: Baldwin and Engleside.  In 1916 the clubhouse was built and some activities were held there but the big events were still held at the hotels into the 1930s.  In 1921 the club acquired the first 4 of the LEHYC 25 foot one-design sloops to increase adult racing.  In 1923 the Skippers program was started to teach young boys sailing and seamanship.  Activities continued to expand throughout the inter-war period with additional classes, addition of the Skipperettes program  for young girls and construction of a tennis court.

After a slow period in WWII, the club began rapid expansion in the late 40s through the 60s. During this period LEHYC became well known for superior regattas and excellent race management.  LEHYC held many prestigious sailing championships including several at the National, North American or International levels.  This culminated with hosting of the NAYRU (now US Sailing) Mallory, Adams, O’Day and Championship of Champions.  At the same time several LEHYC Sailors won major events.  Mac Allen won the Moth North Americans and Jack Barclay won the International Comets at LEHYC in1963.  Other events continued and expanded, Skippers merged with Skipperettes to form one of the premier Junior Sailing Programs in the nation. Tennis Courts were added and social activities expanded.

LBI Yacht Club Wedding | Casey & Pat

Bwe weddings , lbi weddings.

August 23, 2023

Casey and Pat’s LBI Yacht Club Wedding last fall at the Little Egg Harbor and the end result was, for sure, the stunning. I thought it was fitting, as we approach their first anniversary, to relive the day!

LBI Yacht Club Wedding | Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club | Casey & Pat

Casey & Pat’s LBI Yacht Club Wedding design left no corner untouched. I think my favorite feature was their floral installation created by Lily in the Valley Floral Design hanging over the dance floor. It was a show-stopper. And one of the best parts was watching the vibe it gave off transition from daylight to night time! The couple also worked with Crisp Designs by Britt to create watercolor portraits of their cats, and incorporate into the Signature Drink signs. I knew that Casey and Pat’s kittens were going to play a VIP role in their LBI Yacht Club Wedding, when Casey first mentioned the kittens in the “Getting to Know You” questionnaire I sent her to kick off planning. I send it to every couple at the beginning of the planning process. Casey mentioned that one of the things she was looking forward to most in married life “spending forever with Pat (and our two kittens) – he’s my best friend and I love doing life with him!” During the planning process I worked closely with Casey and Pat, but also Casey’s mom, April. Together we chose amazing invitation designs with beautiful deckled edges and wax seals. And the tablescape, complete with gorgeous florals, included custom place cards and table numbers from Karson & Co. (along with a STUNNING seating chart!). Please take a second to note the subtle homage to T. Swift, on the seating chart (if you know, you know). The green and white water goblets and the softest sage green linen napkin to tie it all together. Pair all of that with a mix of white farm tables from Rustic Drift! You have pure perfection.

I also ask all my couples why the chose Long Beach Island to tie the knot. Casey and Pat’s answer was simple. Pat proposed on the front porch of Casey’s parent’s home. They’d been coming to LBI for three years. They fell in love with LBI’s beaches, being together and being with family on the island. Pat planned the proposal for 5 months in cahoots with both his and Casey’s family. They tricked Casey into thinking they were going to happy hour with friends. Casey’s sister and best friend kept saying “let’s dress extra cute since we haven’t been out since COVID!” Casey came downstairs and Pat asked if he could talk to her on the porch and the rest is history. He had a photographer (Melanie Cassie!!) and his family came out from where they were hiding around the corner and we had a whole big celebration with both families, and celebrated with a wonderful dinner at Tucker’s Tavern!

Check out the gorgeous photos of their LBI yacht club wedding captured to perfection by Melanie Cassie Photography. Yup, the same photographer who captured the surprise engagement!

Melges 15s Make Their Regatta Debut

A little more than four months after the world debut of the Melges 15, twelve boats gathered at Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club (Beach Haven, NJ) for the inaugural Melges 15 Invitational.

Pioneered by local, Chris Fretz, LEHYC is home to Melges 15 Fleet #1 after taking delivery of six privately-owned boats in June. Fleet 1 now has nine boats and is looking forward to continued growth and helping establish other fleets on Barnegat Bay.

“This event really shows what’s possible here on the Bay with the Melges 15. When you have sailors from 18-80 years old ripping around at 15 knots together, there’s really nothing else on the market that has this level of accessibility and fun! I think every club in the BBYRA (Barnegat Bay Yacht Racing Association) needs these boats!” said Fretz.

Sailors were greeted by a steady 15-20 knot wind and some nasty chop on Saturday. Five races where completed on the first day of the event all sailed back to back. The day was won by Clay Johnson and Kelly McGlynn who transferred their E Scow knowledge into an excellent performance. The biggest highlight of the day was the battle between Johnson/McGlynn and the father-daughter duo of Emily and Johnny Haig in the final race of the day. Neck and neck coming into the leeward mark, each doing in excess of 15 knots, they traded gybes and swapped the lead several times until Haig was able to gybe on Johnson and sail into better pressure to seal the win.

Additional highlights included Butch and Walter Lenhard, who nailed a pin-end start to lead the fleet up the first leg of Race 4. Butch and Walter are a father-son team who got into the Melges 15 class to race together and with their kids and grandkids.

After racing, sailors debriefed onshore and had some socially distant beverages. The common themes of the day included: “We were going really fast out there” and “I don’t feel like we did FIVE races!”

After looking like the fleet would be in for some light air sailing on Day Two, the forecast and reality seemed to be out of sync. With Johnson and McGlynn heading back to Toms River, the regatta came down to a tiebreaker between the Haigs and Kyle and Alissa Rogechenko. The last race brought the action to a climax with the Haigs needing to place in the top two to clinch the win. On the last run it looked like Emily had the regatta well in hand, but a missed layline at the bottom of the final run allowed Kyle to move into the lead and put the pressure on Emily to hold onto second. Some conservative sailing up the last beat helped the Haigs hold onto second place and win the regatta.

With the inaugural Melges 15 regatta in the books, the Melges 15 Class is looking forward to continuing its exponential growth around the country. The Melges 15 Class wants to help your club build a fleet! If you have any interest in this or in the Melges 15 contact Eddie Cox, Melges, at [email protected] .

Luxury rules at the moscow yacht show.

The windy Russian autumn weather might be a little bit tricky for sailing, but it doesn’t stop brave yachtsmen from all over the world from flocking to Russian capital in the beginning of September when the Moscow Yacht Show commences. The main Russian Yacht exhibition gathers professional and amateur yacht lovers together under the wing of The Royal Yacht Club.

This year it took place for a fourth time already. The exhibition is considered the principal event on the sporting and social calendar. The Moscow Yacht Show 2010 united in one area three of the largest Russian yachts distributors: Ultramarine, Nordmarine and Premium Yachts.

A wide range of yachts were on display for a week. An exhibition showcased yachts both from Russian manufacturers and world famous brands: Azimut, Princess, Ferretti, Pershing, Riviera, Doral, Linssen, etc.

It was a real feast for seafarers as visitors of the show had a unique chance not only to take a look at the newest superyachts before they hit the market, but also to evaluate their driving advantages during the test drive. The show provided an excellent opportunity for yacht enthusiasts to choose and buy a new boat for the next season.

The event started with the grandiose gala evening. It included grand dinner, the concert and professional awards ceremony for achievements in Russian yachting industry. The guests also enjoyed the annual regatta.

Special guest Paolo Vitelli, Azimut Benetti Group president, opened the evening.

Next year organizers assured guests they would bring more yachts, the scale of which will even make oligarch Roman Abramovich envious. Sounds very promising indeed.

The best golf clubs in moscow: luxury, exclusivity, and entertainment.

By Walter Raymond

February 24, 2015

• The Best Golf Clubs in…

In Russia, the western concept of building architecturally beautiful golf courses filled with modern and luxurious amenities has found fertile ground. What was considered a frivolous pastime during the time of the Soviets has become the latest trend for the stylish set. These days, there are countless options around Moscow to practice golf, polo, ski, yachting, and other sports alongside 5-star hotels, luxurious country houses, and magnificent villas.

The game of golf is a sport that requires passion and expertise. It is also part of a culture that considers this pastime a synonym of social prestige and exclusivity. In recent years, the new Russian elite has turned to golf as a vehicle of integration in the era of globalization. Golf courses are also meeting and socializing spaces where Muscovite tycoons can relax and also seal business deals.

Golf Courses in Russia

The Moscow Country Club, Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club, Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club, and Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia are some of the most exclusive and elegant golf courses in Russia. Some of them have made it to the list of Top 15 golf clubs in the world, a source of great prestige for the country.

Moscow Country Club Moscow Country Club

The first 18-hole golf course built in Russia, Moscow Country Club, hosts the exclusive PGA European Tour. Located just eight miles from the city center, this luxurious facility was created by architect Robert Trent Jones Jr . The design takes advantage of a typical Russian birch and spruce forest to provide a natural environment of extraordinary beauty.

Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club

The Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is 18 miles from the heart of Moscow, close to historical monuments from the 17th and 18th centuries. Designed by famed architects Paul and Dave Thomas , this 18-hole course is part of a complex that includes a yacht club, an equestrian center, and a health and wellness facility. Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is Russia’s version of a classic country club with multiple attractions.

Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club

This park is among the best in Eastern Europe and was awarded the 2014 World Golf Award as the best golf course in Russia. Located 25 miles from Moscow, it is part of a vast complex featuring an 18-hole golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus , a polo club and a mountain ski club with four tracks. The design combines classic Scottish, Alpine, and English features in a dreamy landscape.

Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia

Less than 60 miles from Moscow, this golf course with a definite Scottish design is the only one in Russia recognized as a PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association) from Britain and Ireland. Located in an ecologically pristine area on the banks of the Volga River, the Zavidovo Golf Club embodies the spirit and appearance of the legendary Scottish golf courses. Its many springs and streams, hills, forests, swamps and lakes justify its reputation as a very demanding circuit. Last year, it entered the exclusive club of the 15 best golf courses in the world.   ■
