HISTORY
In 1911 The Stone Harbor Yacht Club was built for Stone Harbor Realty Company by John Larsen, grandfather of Fleet Historian, Jane Scott. The Club failed during the Depression. But in 1929, Jane's father, Clarence O. Letzkus, along with a small group of men, reorganized the club as The Yacht Club of Stone Harbor by selling proprietary memberships. The 1911 building is used to this day by members and their guests. An exhibit including Club history can be seen at the Stone Harbor Museum. The 2003 Season will see an exhibit on the Club's history installed at the Club.
