Port Sailing School Teams Up with Echo Bay Yacht Club

Just last summer, Port Sailing School opened up its second location in New Rochelle. The school employs over 28 people in the season with a fleet of over 30 boats from 23 to 36 feet. Echo Bay YC Commodore Bill Vogt recently invited the owner of Port Sailing, Chris Nihill, out to Echo Island for a club event. It was there that Nihill saw the potential of this charming island and a partnership was formed to develop programs and events.

“We are reinventing what a yacht club is, and how you go about joining,” Nihill explained. “We are combining our assets to provide services that a family can afford and improving access to the island by increasing the tender service from three days a week to seven.” With no initiation fees, all can join Echo Bay Yacht Club and sail the boats for as little as $750. Skipper memberships, Crew memberships and Junior memberships are available.

The island will host a children’s sailing program during the weekdays in the summer with sailboats to be provided by the sailing school and students receiving a club membership. Port Sailing, with over ten years of experience, will operate the sailing camp and the kids will enjoy time on the boats and on the facilities on Echo Island. The two-week sailing camp sessions run for eight weeks and are open to kids age 8 and up. Interested parents will find more information at echobayyachtclub.org .

Echo Island Yacht Club has a restaurant and snack bar, a picnic area with grills, a protected mooring area, storage lockers, kayak racks and a beach, and its solarium offers a 180-degree view of Western Long Island Sound. Ample parking is available at the New Rochelle Municipal Marina, which is only a mile from the railroad station.

Echo Island is one of New Rochelle’s hidden gems, and it would be a shame to lose it to a real estate developer. Just last year, Stuyvesant Yacht Club in City Island closed due to low membership and damages sustained during Sandy. The new alliance between Port Sailing School and Echo Bay Yacht Club allows members to experience the joy of sailing and the facilities of this classic Westchester landmark. To learn more about how you can become a member, learn to sail and use the school’s boats and the club’s facilities, log onto echobayyachtclub.org . Visit portsailing.com for more information about Port Sailing School.

9 westchester beaches ordered closed on friday, the closures are pre-emptive measures due to 1.25 inches of rain over the last 24 hours, according to the health department..

Jeff Edwards , Patch Staff

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY — Some of the most popular beaches in the Hudson Valley have been pre-emptively closed due to 1.25 inches of rainfall over the last 24 hours.

Certain Sound Shore beaches in New Rochelle, Mamaroneck and Rye have been closed immediately until further notice, due to recent rainfall, according to the Westchester County Department of Health.

The county's Beach Surveillance Program is designed to protect the public from illnesses associated with swimming in waters that are contaminated.

Find out what's happening in New Rochelle with free, real-time updates from Patch.

Due to rainfall, the following beaches are closed:

• New Rochelle: Hudson Park Beach, Davenport Club, Greentree Club, Surf Club
• Rye: Coveleigh Club
• Mamaroneck: Harbor Island, Beach Point Club, Orienta Beach Club, Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club

Heavy rainfall in the watershed of the Mamaroneck River impacts the water quality in Mamaroneck Harbor. Similarly, Echo Bay in New Rochelle is affected which impacts Hudson Park Beach and the Echo Bay Yacht Club.

Decisions to close beaches are based on the number of inches of rain in the watershed. Heavy rains and discharges from stormwater drains may result in high levels of harmful bacteria that may cause illness.

New Rochelle: Summer Fun at Camp Echo Bay

By Ms. Julia St. Clair, Province Communications Director

(New Rochelle, NY – July 2) – Camp Echo Bay kicked off its 2024 season last week on Monday, June 24.

One hundred and ninety-one children registered for the first week. They enjoyed an array of indoor and outdoor activities, including, but not limited to, arts and crafts, jumping in a bouncy carousel, and swimming.

On Thursday morning June 27, 155 campers took part in outdoor and indoor activities as more children continued to arrive throughout the day. Camp leadership expects enrollment to increase to 200-300 campers in the coming weeks.

“Being a part of this community has been a truly wonderful experience,” Program Director Matt Boggi remarked. Prior to his time working at Camp Echo Bay, Matt was a camper there himself since he was four years old.

As with previous years, the camp has a dedicated theme for each week. Last week was Nickelodeon Week, and this week is Holiday Week. The themes for the remaining five weeks of Camp Echo Bay will be Superhero, Star Wars, Olympic, Disney, and Carnival.

Camp Echo Bay will run this year through Friday, August 9.
