Welcome
to the
Down East Yacht Club
2009 –
Celebrating 43 years of BOATING FUN!!!!
 The
Beginning – June 1966, a group of yachtsmen at the Boatel Marina
dock (now the Tugboat) was laughing, telling jokes and having a great
time. A brainstorm – why not start a “FUN CLUB” for
boaters? A room was offered by the Boatel and the club, with 13 members,
was initiated. 40 years later, the Club burgee can be seen along the East
and West coasts with members enjoying the “FUN CLUB” and its
activities year around.
