History

MYC was formed in 1941. Some of our starting members are Francis Johnston, Harry Lyons Sr., Johnny Lynn, Leonard Schreiber, Carl Rodes, Harry Limes, Christy Tuthills, John Manion, Charlie Dayton, Jimmie Palridge, Alton Sarles, Mike Catila, Dewitt Quick.
Other members who joined in those early years were Frank DeGeorge, Sam Quimby, and Bart Presler.
At one time, during the early fifties, MYC was quite famous for hosting local outboard motor races. They would draw crowds numbering between 2000 and 3000.
The location of the Yacht Club was moved, in the fall of 1955, from the southern end of the area, (presently West Shore Marine) to its present location.
The present club house was built in 1992.
