Chelsea Yacht Club was organized in 1881 as the Carthage Ice Yacht Club, changing its name to the Chelsea Yacht Club of Chelsea on the Hudson in 1910. The change reflects a change in the name of the area in which it is located and the growth of its program to include summer sailing as well as winter boating.
Anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course. Leaders who are good navigators are capable of taking their people just about anywhere - John C. Maxwell
We recognize and salute our leaders of the past for taking the helm, steering us on our proper course, and helping to shape and evolve our future
