Business name : Duck Island Yacht Club
The three charter members were taken aback when two weeks later, cruising yachts from the Larchmont Club anchored behind Duck Island, blowing there horns for the yacht club launch. The boys kept out of sight!
In the early 1930s, Duck Island Yacht Club became one of the charter members of the Eastern Connecticut Yacht Racing Association and twice hosted the Annual ECYRA Regatta. The club had an active racing schedule going most Saturdays and Sundays. The first classes of boats raced were Manchester, Handicap, Duck Island and Zip. Harold D. Brainard built the last two types locally.
Fredrick G. Winslow became Commodore in 1933 and served until 1938. At the 1938 Annual Meeting, the adults failed to show up. As a result, the teenagers elected W. Whitney Stueck, one of their own, as Commodore. In 1939, Fredrick G. Winslow was reelected commodore and Stueck headed the race committee. The racing schedule had 29 days posted from July 1st to September 3rd. There were so many Zips showing up for races, they had two starts, odd and even sail numbers.
In 1938, the club had an opportunity to lease/purchase the Smith beachfront house at the western end of Grove Beach. Fortunately the members confirmed that they could not afford it as later that year the 1938 Hurricane blew the house away. In 1939, a motion was made to investigate purchasing the land. Nothing ever came of it. In 1939 the club purchased a new committee boat, a 22′ 6″ motorboat with a new 60 hp Chris Craft engine, from Harold Brainard for $750. Throughout various years, the club rented the Grove Beach Tennis Clubhouse for their clubhouse.
During WWII, no meetings or races were held. Dues were lowered to hold inactive members and there were no dues for members of the Armed Forces. At a meeting on July 7, 1946, twenty members voted to start races on July 26th and by 1947 all was returned to normal where the racing classes included Comet, Star and Zip.
Through the early 1970s, an increase in boat size to 30 ft was observed and the nature of the club changed from mostly racing, to cruising and racing. Duck Island now extended its visibility into Narragansett Bay, Cape Cod and the Long Island fishtail.

Duck Island Yacht Club Wins the Essex Rum Challenge Club Trophy
![duck island yacht club](https://www.windcheckmagazine.com/app/uploads/2019/07/Duck-Island-Photo-1024x601.jpg)
The team representing Duck Island Yacht Club in Westbrook, Connecticut won Essex Yacht Club’s new trophy by defeating teams from the Off Soundings Club, Essex Yacht Club, and Essex Corinthian Yacht Club. The trophy was awarded on Saturday, July 27 during the awards ceremony for the Essex Rum Challenge Regatta, which is an annual event in late July.
The Essex Rum Challenge Regatta is an Eastern Connecticut Sailing Association (ECSA) sanctioned event and is one of the five qualifying races for the ECSA Long Sand Shoal Cup.
Thirty-nine boats participated in this year’s Essex Rum Challenge. Spinnaker classes sailed windward-leeward races on Long Island Sound, while Non-Spinnaker classes raced around the buoys. The Club Challenge Trophy is awarded to the yacht club with the highest combined points of any three boats from their club. Points are awarded to each boat using the ECSA Scoring Matrix.
For the last twenty years, the Rum Challenge has been known for competitive racing and some seriously enjoyable post-event festivities thanks to Goslings Bermuda Rum and Essex Yacht Club’s executive chef, Michael Stafford. To learn more, log onto https://www.essexyc.com/On_The_Water/Racing .

Music and concerts, music and concerts | what to know if you’re headed to the minnesota yacht club festival, gwen stefani, alanis morissette and red hot chili peppers are headlining.
![Set-up continues for the Yacht Club Festival at Harriet Island in St. Paul on Wednesday, July 17, 2024. The two-day music festival starts Friday afternoon and features Gwen Stafani, Alanis Morissette and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, among others. (John Autey / Pioneer Press) A stage and bleachers next to a river.](https://www.twincities.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/STP-L-jea-02-YACHT_FEST_SETUP-0717--e1721258305443.jpg?w=620)
Headlined by Gwen Stefani, Alanis Morissette and Red Hot Chili Peppers, the festival (which despite its name has nothing to do with yacht rock) is promoted by C3 Presents, an Austin, Texas, company that’s also behind Austin City Limits Music Festival, Voodoo Music + Arts Experience and the modern-day Lollapalooza. C3 was the largest independent promoter in the world until Live Nation bought a controlling stake in the company in 2014.
Organizers expect to attract more than 30,000 concertgoers each day.
While the Irish Fair of Minnesota calls Harriet Island home each August, music festivals have had a rough go on the site. The original Lollapalooza (back when it was a traveling festival) landed on the site in 1991, 1992 and 1994, but flooding forced the fest to move to the late St. Paul Civic Center in 1993.
Live Nation attempted to establish a new annual event, the River’s Edge Music Festival, in 2012. Despite big-name headliners Tool and the Dave Matthews Band, the festival didn’t attract enough paying customers to convince the concert promoting giant to return for a second year.
Here’s what folks headed to the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival need to know:
As of Wednesday afternoon, tickets were still available at a number of price points, starting at $135 for one day general admission (or $255 for two days) all the way up to platinum tickets for $925 ($1,395 for two days), which include a number of perks including free food and drinks, front-of-stage viewing and access to an air-conditioned lounge. See minnesotayachtclubfestival.com for details.
Many of the general admission and general admission plus tickets are sold out, but there are verified resale tickets available, some at lower prices than face value.
Getting there
There are two entrances to the festival. The main entrance is at Harriet Island Boulevard and South Wabasha Street, while the west entrance is on West Water Street between Bidwell Street and Plato Boulevard.
There is no on-site parking at the festival, but its website lists numerous downtown St. Paul parking lots that are a 10- to 16-minute walk from the site. Several Metro Transit buses stop a half-mile from Harriet Island. The rideshare drop off is at 49 E. Fillmore Ave. The festival promises “ample bike parking” located near the two entrances.
What is allowed on site
Feel free to bring: Small clutch purses and fanny packs (6” x 9” or smaller) with no more than one pocket, all other bags must be clear and smaller than 12” x 6” x 12”, empty hydration packs and reusable water bottles, strollers, frisbees, binoculars, blankets, basic cameras (no detachable lenses or other accessories), sunscreen in non-aerosol containers (3.4 ounces or less), personal-sized hand sanitizer and factory sealed Naloxone/Narcan kits.
What isn’t allowed
Pretty much everything you would think, including outside food and beverage, coolers, aerosol containers, umbrellas, chairs, wagons, skateboards, drones, fireworks and illegal substances.
Concertgoers must wear securely fastened wristbands that are available at the box office. Wristbands can be activated online to add an emergency contact and to use for cashless transactions (with a pin number). Wristbands that are damaged, lost or stolen can be replaced by the original purchaser one time only for $20. Patrons can leave and reenter at will up until 7 p.m. each day.
There is a guest services tent that has earplugs and a lost and found. Free hydration stations are located throughout the site. Lockers are available to rent for $25 each day or $48.50 for both.
