About American Yacht Club

Jay Gould and a group of his friends founded the American Yacht Club in New York City. By 1887, clearly in need of a shore station, the club purchased "12 acres and some rocks known as Scotch Caps" from the Wainwright family at the tip of Milton Point in Rye, NY. The price was $6000 for what has become one of the outstanding locations on Long Island Sound. The American Yacht Club, commanding the view of what has been called "the magical point, is now one of the most prestigious and historical sailing clubs in America.
