The Boston Yacht Club was founded in 1866 by three Dartmouth alumni who sought a venue for yacht racing that would provide "that spirit of comradeship, of courtesy and chivalry, of sympathetic joy in a common sport". 90 original members began the club, including the then 18 year old Nat Herreshoff. One year later, 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 in South Boston, membership then numbering 250 with over 80 yachts. Through a series of club mergers, the Boston Yacht Club grew and, by 1910, the club operated from six different stations: Rowe's Wharf in Boston, Hull, City Point in South Boston, Marblehead, Dorchester, and Five Islands in Sheepscot Bay, Maine. Today the club operates from a single station in Marblehead, with 500 members and 400 yachts flying the BYC burgee.
America's Cup
The history of the America's Cup represents, in part, a history of the Boston Yacht Club. Club members Edward Burgess and George Lawley designed and built the successful cup defenders of 1885, '86 and '87. From 1893 through 1920, Nat Herreshoff designed and built the next seven defenders, later teaming up with W. Starling Burgess (Edward's son) who designed the winning J-boats in 1930, '34 and '37. Following the Cup's hiatus during World War II, Ted Hood stepped up to carry on the tradition. As sail maker, and sometimes skipper and designer, Hood held sway through 11 successful Cup defenses from 1958-77. During this twelve meters reign, the two-time contender for the defense, Nefertiti was backed by a BYC syndicate. Even the schooner America has a place in club history. She was bought by member General Benjamin Butler (later Governor of Massachusetts and presidential candidate) in 1873. For over 27 years America flew the Boston Yacht Club burgee while she was actively campaigned by Butler and, following his death, his nephew until she was decommissioned in 1901.
