The Ephraim Yacht Club: Sailing Toward a Milestone

By Jessica Sauter , Door County Living – May 1st, 2004

This summer the Ephraim Yacht Club will host the 99th Annual Ephraim Regatta and the popular slogan – “There will always be an Ephraim Regatta” – will once again ring true. The oldest continuous regatta in the United States, the Ephraim Regatta was first held in the summer of 1906, the same year the Ephraim Yacht Club was formed. There have been exciting close finishes and years with barely enough wind to stir the sails. But through all the years the regatta has been sailed, there has also always been an Ephraim Yacht Club.

In the early 1900s, Ephraim was becoming a popular summer vacation destination. Many of the summer families had a love of the outdoors and were particularly interested in boating. Year-round residents shared this pursuit and the idea of a yachting club came to fruition on July 24, 1906. Founding members numbered just 23, but included families whose descendents are still active in the club today. Sailboats, powerboats and canoes were all a part of the early fleet. Though a site for a clubhouse and permanent dock would not come for some years, the Ephraim Yacht Club flourished.

The newly renovated EYC clubhouse and dock are now a familiar part of the Ephraim waterfront, but it hasn’t always been so. With the successful formation of the club and participation in club events growing, members began to pursue the idea of a dock. In the summer of 1926, a 700-foot wooden dock was constructed in front of what is now the historic Village Hall. But Mother Nature intervened and that fall a combination of high water and heavy storms destroyed the dock. In 1929, Mr. B.D. Thorp built a dock in front of his hotel, the Eagle Inn, for use by the EYC. During the depression years that followed, dreams of a clubhouse had to be put on hold. The yacht club was kept afloat by the dedication of its members. Officers of the club rotated through the same positions and kept the regatta running. The ladies of the club held fund-raisers and donated proceeds to the club. By 1939 things were looking up and the clubhouse was finally built. Though it has undergone many changes, the location has remained the same to this day.

In the early years of the Ephraim Yacht Club, members decided that the club should be a place for families with a special focus on the boating education of its younger members. This decision has stood the test of time and today the club is home to a variety of activities for all ages. Sailing instruction, weekly races, social activities and ladies bridge groups all take place at the EYC.

Promotion of safe water-sports is the mission of the sailing program at the Ephraim Yacht Club. The program includes group youth lessons as well as private lessons for all ages. All EYC instructors are US Sailing certified. An aspiring young sailor may begin lessons at age nine. Students will progress through three levels of instruction with a written exam at the end of each session. Racing rules are taught and students are encouraged to participate in the weekly races held at the club. The yacht club owns and maintains a varied fleet of sailboats which are used for lessons, including Flying Scots, JY’s, Sunfish and Optimist prams, a new addition this summer. No previous sailing knowledge is required, but students should be prepared to get wet and have fun. The first day of class includes a swimming test and the challenge of putting on a lifejacket (PFD) while in the water. Safety is an on-going priority and PFDs must be worn at all times while on club boats. Some students carry this to other aspects of the lessons as well. It is not unusual to see a group of students and instructors wandering down Highway 42 in the direction of Wilson’s Ice Cream Parlor wearing their PFDs on hot summer days!

Weekly races are held for sailors. Spontaneous cookouts frequently follow the evening races and the end of the EYC dock is one of the best sunset viewing spots on the peninsula. The Ephraim Regatta, two days of sailboat racing, is held the first weekend in August and many sailors use the weekly races as practice sessions for the “big event.” Weekly races and the regatta are open to all participants, but only club members may use club boats and equipment. Race schedules and information may be obtained at the club or on the club website www.eyc.org.

The EYC hosts a variety of social events for its members during the summer months. An Ice Cream Social kicks off the July 4th weekend, and potlucks, coffees and picnics are hosted throughout the summer. The Bratfest, an annual favorite, is held on regatta weekend and junior activities are held for younger members once a week during the summer. Past activities have included sailing picnics to Nicolet Bay or Horseshoe Island, attending a performance of the American Folklore Theatre and scavenger hunts all over downtown Ephraim. These events are great fun and many members happily recall their own experiences when children and grandchildren participate for the first time.

In the summer of 2005, the 100th Annual Ephraim Regatta will be held and will kick off the Ephraim Yacht Club’s Centennial Celebration. Plans for the celebration include bringing back old traditions and creating new ones. One hundred years of sailing, camaraderie and memories. With pristine Eagle Harbor as its home, the EYC has grown and evolved over the years, and there will always be an Ephraim Yacht Club.

To be represented by Premium Yachts, Ferretti Yachts and Riva , two prestigious brands of the Ferretti Group, will be present at the Moscow International Boat Show 2013, displaying motor yacht Ferretti 530 as well as Riva Iseo yacht tender.

Luxury motor yacht Ferretti 530

Luxury yacht Ferretti 530 was very keen to undertake in collaboration once again with AYT – Advanced Yacht Technology, Ferretti Group Engineering Division and Studio Zuccon International Project . The compact dimensions, 16 meters long and almost 5 meters wide, allow the 530 yacht to deliver grand Italian luxury and cruising immersed in such comfort until now unheard of in a yacht of this size.

Ferretti 530 yacht boasts three revolutionary innovations: the full beam master cabin with chaise longue and two large open view windows that make it a real suite at sea level bathed in light, tones and the natural essences of teak. Moving the galley from the center to the aft section creates a unique open space that includes the saloon, galley, cocktail bar and the dining area, the cockpit area continues thanks to the tilting window. The roll bar free sky lounge and the spoiler allow the 530 a sporty appearance combined with elegantly formal lines.

Ferretti 530 Yacht - Interior

Riva , the iconic Ferretti Group brand, presented a new model at the historical Lake d’Iseo shipyards in July 2011. Featuring elegance and ease of transportation as its distinctive characteristics, Iseo superyacht tender , a 27 foot runabout, is destined to become a must-have for those who love cruising on both lakes and the sea, and, most importantly, design enthusiasts. It is also perfect for anyone wishing to enhance their yacht with an exclusive tender that will never go unnoticed.

Riva Iseo superyacht tender

Due to its ease of manoeuvrability and size, Iseo yacht tender is also ideal as a tender for large yachts. Innovative and elegant, it can also guarantee comfort in bad weather conditions. Besides the electrohydraulic bimini top, it was also designed with a waterproof, automobile-style soft top which protects those on board against water and the wind during cruising.

The windy Russian autumn weather might be a little bit tricky for sailing, but it doesn’t stop brave yachtsmen from all over the world from flocking to Russian capital in the beginning of September when the Moscow Yacht Show commences. The main Russian Yacht exhibition gathers professional and amateur yacht lovers together under the wing of The Royal Yacht Club.

This year it took place for a fourth time already. The exhibition is considered the principal event on the sporting and social calendar. The Moscow Yacht Show 2010 united in one area three of the largest Russian yachts distributors: Ultramarine, Nordmarine and Premium Yachts.

A wide range of yachts were on display for a week. An exhibition showcased yachts both from Russian manufacturers and world famous brands: Azimut, Princess, Ferretti, Pershing, Riviera, Doral, Linssen, etc.

It was a real feast for seafarers as visitors of the show had a unique chance not only to take a look at the newest superyachts before they hit the market, but also to evaluate their driving advantages during the test drive. The show provided an excellent opportunity for yacht enthusiasts to choose and buy a new boat for the next season.

The event started with the grandiose gala evening. It included grand dinner, the concert and professional awards ceremony for achievements in Russian yachting industry. The guests also enjoyed the annual regatta.

Special guest Paolo Vitelli, Azimut Benetti Group president, opened the evening.

Next year organizers assured guests they would bring more yachts, the scale of which will even make oligarch Roman Abramovich envious. Sounds very promising indeed.
