Excerpt from A History of the Boston Yacht Club: Embracing an Interesting Record of the Events of This, the Pioneer Yacht Club of New England, From Its Organization to the Present Time, Together With Features of Value and Interest to All Yachtsmen No further successful attempt was made to form a Club of yachtsmen until 1866, at which time there were no Yacht Clubs east of New York City. I do not intend to convey the idea that Boston had no one who felt an active interest in this invigorat ing and manly pastime, as there were a number of very fine yachts owned and commanded by Bostonians; but the idea of forming into an organized body did not fully develop until the season of 1866, when Messrs. Augustus Russ, Benjamin Dean, Eben Denton, Charles E. Russ, and Thomas Dean began active steps for the formation. Of this the first Yacht Club in New England. Did these few ardent admirers of salt water know what difficulties they would encounter in promulgating their plans, we fear that the Boston Yacht Club would have never been born; but not being gifted with the Vision of seers, having once brought it into existence, they spared no expense or labor in Shielding it from the poisoned arrows of jealousy and contem tion to which it was at times exposed. How far these efforts have succeeded, the elegant and costly Club House and prop erty at South Boston, the long list of members and yachts, together with the substantial surplus in the Club treasury, can testify.
