New Season Begun, But A Look At The Past The image above is of Phoenix racing on Long Island Sound in the 1950s. Looks like they are kicking up a rooster tail! Several other pictures from the '50s are now posted in the Photos section

Larchmont Race Week is underway! Skippers and crews had beautiful Southerly
breezes on Saturday and held on for dear life on Sunday. Allegro and Iroquois are
currently 1 and 2, both sailing fast and smart. We experienced crew mishaps,
cruising boats colliding with S-boats on the race course and the rounding marks
are a bit bruised up, but everyone is safe and all boats will be returning to the
starting line this weekend.
News - New skipper and boat (Vela, #6) have joined fleet, but repairs have
delayed seeing her on the starting line. Hope to see her out there by end of July.
There are 2 S-boats in the fleet that is for sale. Tern, the last S-boat ever built
(1941), is a proven winner. See the "Boats Available" section of our web site for
pictures and further details.
Another boat in the fleet is for sale due to an unfortunate death in the family. Eaglet,
S-57 is for sale. The boat is in excellent condition having undergone significant
restoration, has a relatively new mast and excellent sails. Located on the North
Shore of Long Island. Asking price = $65,000. Please contact Sean Daly at (516)

Additionally, there are 2 aluminum masts for sale. In good shape and the owner is
willing to part with them for extremely reasonable prices. Please contact us by
