Saco Yacht Club Opens New Clubhouse After Surge
The Saco Yacht Club, oldest in the twin cities, opened a new riverside clubhouse after ten months of activity. Commodore Philip E. Graves and Vice Commodore Clarence H. Lombard praised the project, which reuses salvaged timber from the old clubhouse and sits on Remick’s wharf. The 40 by 24 foot concrete block building includes 54 lockers on the ground floor and club rooms above, with a long finger pier mooring 34 boats. Plans call for extending floats to add space for prospective members and lockers, with total costs around 3400 dollars to date.
