  • Cruising History
    Portland Yacht Club A History of Cruising Activity The Portland Yacht Club traces its routes to a weekend cruise to Boothbay Harbor by several Portlanders in the mid 1860's. This venture was the impetus that began a discussion about forming a yacht club. This was followed by a meeting in June 1868, at which time they decided if they could sign 100 members they would move forward. On April 26, 1869 their initiative was rewarded with the creation of the Portland Yacht Club. During the first year, the club held another cruise to Boothbay Harbor. Departing Boothbay, they went up the Sasanoa (hopefully with the tide) to Bath. The next day they sailed down the Kennebec River (again hopefully with a fair tide) to Jewel Island where “a Grand Clam Bake” was held. The entire three day cruise was enshrouded in fog and supposedly continued for the next 34 years (some things never change). But, think of the seamanship and navigation skills required to ply those waters in a vessel with no power other than the wind while using less than reliable charts, compass, watch and taffrail log. Present day cruisers are now quite spoiled with the electronics available. In 1873 the club held both a spring and fall cruise along with 30 boats participating in Portland's July 4th Celebration. The spring cruise of 1879 included 4 schooners and 2 sloops. They departed the club at 1000 and arrived in Wiscasset at 1620. The sloop Vif went aground on Merrill's Ledge in the Sheepscot. As the saying goes, “There are two types of sailors in Maine, those that have been aground and those that will go aground”.
