Nantucket Yacht Club

The organization which was to become the Nantucket Yacht Club was first chartered in 1890 as the Nantucket Athletic Club. By the summer of 1906, a second group had come together, calling themselves the Nantucket Yacht Club, whose purpose was to provide sailing and racing for the summer residents of Nantucket, their families and friends. The leadership and membership have been able to hold a steady course – no easy matter with a seasonal operation – making changes as conditions have required and proving that yacht racing and sailing, tennis and social activity can all be kept lively and popular. The next hundred years will be exciting and are full of great promise.

Stories from Nantucket Yacht Club

The organization which was to become the Nantucket Yacht Club was first chartered in 1890 as the Nantucket Athletic Club. By the summer of 1906, a second group had come together, calling themselves the Nantucket Yacht Club headfirst into a burgeoning summer scene, when sailing enthusiasts led by H. Holton Wood assembled their boats off Brant Point and held organized races in Nantucket Sound. They met in houses built on Hulbert Avenue in 1900 by Henry Oliver Underwood, and had use of a nearby pier, complete with gazebo, owned by the neighboring Atkins Family.  Although still in its infancy, the new club acted as though it had been established for years. The first flag officers were H. Holton Wood, commodore; J.E.T. Rutter, vice commodore; Alice Underwood, secretary-treasurer; and Margaret Underwood, fleet captain. In mid-September, the yacht club held its first Commodore’s Cup Race to close the season. The new club was here to stay. Like no other institution of Nantucket, it is a place where traditions are honored, where the past is respected, and where families are celebrated – its history intertwined with that of the island it calls home.

Nantucket Yacht Club

Nantucket, massachusetts.

Located in the historic downtown harbor of Nantucket, this 100 year old Nantucket Yacht Club is a place where “traditions are honored and the past is respected.”  To uphold the glory of this notable club, a large-scale renovation project was required.  Working closely with the membership and the town’s Architectural Review Board, MPFA utilized a master plan and phased construction timeline to infuse extensive changes into the existing structure.  From all-encompassing infrastructure retrofits and new support facilities (kitchen and bath) to rehabilitated dining areas and new member spaces, the heart of the design is a renewed facility that maintains the historic nature of traditional Nantucket architecture.

More than 70 Massachusetts beaches closed on Saturday

BOSTON — Dozens of beaches across Massachusetts are closed to swimmers on Saturday due to contamination concerns.

As of Saturday morning, there were 72 beaches, lakes, and ponds closed, including popular destinations on Cape Cod and the Islands, according to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s  interactive beach water quality dashboard .

Nearly all of those bodies of water are closed due to harmful bacteria levels, the dashboard indicated.

The dashboard is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. during beach season.

The water quality at beaches in Massachusetts is required to be monitored. This monitoring data helps local health officials determine when to close a beach due to unsafe conditions and notify the public so that beach visitors can make informed decisions about swimming at the beach.

Swimming in unsafe waters can result in gastrointestinal and respiratory health issues.

The state conducts weekly water quality testing at the start of each week from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Below is the current list of active closures shown in the dashboard:
