A Short History of BHYC

The Bay Head Yacht Club was established on September 8, 1888 “to promote yachting and rowing and to foster athletic sports upon the water”. Bay Head was then emerging as a popular seaside resort that attracted prominent families from Philadelphia and New York. The first clubhouse was built in 1889 on pilings at the head of Barnegat Bay. The modest building was surrounded by marshes and reached from land by boardwalks. In 1893 the clubhouse was moved 100 yards east to its present location and in 1928 the current clubhouse was built to accommodate a growing membership. BHYC members were active participants in early sneakbox and catboat racing on the shallow waters of Barnegat Bay. In 1914 the Club was a founding member of the Barnegat Bay Yacht Racing Association. Bay Head Commodore John V.A. Cattus was elected the BBYRA’s first commodore. That summer O.G. Dale of BHYC won the first BBYRA championship in his 20’ Sneakbox “Arran”. Since then BHYC sailors have won 175 championships in classes ranging from E Scows to Barnegat Bay’s splendid wooden A Cats. Bay Head has had many prominent sailors in its history including Slade Dale, winner of the Cruising Club of America’s Blue Water Medal for 1929 for a cruise to Cuba and back in “Postscript”, a 23’ cutter designed by Dale himself. Also Sam Merrick, champion E Scow sailor, who managed the U.S. Olympic Sailing Team to its best showing ever: an unprecedented three gold and two silver medals in 1984. Sam was honored later that year with US Sailing’s most prestigious award, The Nathanael Herreshoff Trophy. BHYC's campus is a "key site" in Bay Head's historic district. It includes two buildings separately listed on the National Register as "contributing structures" within the historic district: our clubhouse and the boat shed, formerly known as Dale's Yacht Basin, on Lake Avenue.  BHYC welcomes visitors accompanied by members. We ask all guests and members to remember ...

In 1914 the club was a founding member of the Barnegat Bay Yacht Racing Association. That summer a BHYC sailor won the first BBYRA championship. Since then Bay Head sailors have won 175 championship flags in classes ranging from E Scows to Barnegat Bay’s splendid wooden A Cats.

Today the Bay Head Yacht Club has a vibrant membership of 850 families that enjoy active sailing programs.  The Club is proud to continue its leadership in the sport of sailing. The Club is located at the northern terminus of Barnegat Bay in New Jersey where several sailing Olympians and world champions have competed.

“Bay Head Yacht Club is proud to support the National Sailing Hall of Fame as a Founding Member. For over 120 years this sort of leadership has been central to the mission of our Club,” said Commodore Austin T. Fragomen.

SBI’s Advisory and Technical solutions launched the successful restoration of the Bay Head Yacht Club and returned this historic resort to its vital role in the seaside community.

Built in the early 1920’s, the Bay Head Yacht Club is a historic landmark and center for seaside activities on Barnegat Bay in Bay Head, New Jersey. Originally constructed on wood pilings at the water’s edge, the clubhouse and its foundation had reached the point of failure after years of rising sea levels and the disastrous effects of Hurricane Sandy. SBI Consultants provided technical and advisory solutions to the Bay Head Yacht Club for a major rehabilitation of the clubhouse that involved raising, rebuilding and restoring the 100 year old structure. This challenging project consisted of elevating the clubhouse by 11-feet to minimize damage from future storm floods and renovating the entire building while preserving its charm and rich traditions. Working closely with the Project team, SBI delivered essential project and risk management strategies throughout the life cycle of the project. These services were particularly crucial when Hurricane Sandy struck during the design phase, which resulted in continuous revisions of the project’s planning criteria to meet the rapidly changing FEMA criteria. SBI also provided effective scheduling strategies to ensure that key construction goals were reached during the summer that the clubhouse was closed to its members. In a series of carefully orchestrated maneuvers, the clubhouse was raised off its deteriorating wood pilings and transported to dry land while more than 100 new steel and concrete pilings were driven to a depth of 60’ in Barnegat Bay. The top of the new pilings—now 11’ above the mean water level—were connected by a filigree system with beams up to 3’ deep and a concrete slab covering over 10,000 square feet. Once resettled on its new foundation, the clubhouse stood a full story higher than it was before. The renovation of the clubhouse included construction of a new 2-story kitchen wing, offices, a bar and a dining room, as well as full restoration of the wrap-around terraces, historic facades and refurbishing of the interior. SBI’s essential project management, risk management and scheduling services enabled the Bay Head Yacht Club to accomplish its goal of building a high quality clubhouse that retained its original charm and traditions within budget and on schedule, returning this seaside resort to its vital role in the community.
