History
For New Yorkers, the year 1932 stands out for a number of reasons. A state senator had just won the first of four elections as president and the Brooklyn Dodgers were building a dynasty in Ebbets Field. But it was also the year that an ardent group of young men founded what they called the Miramar Boat & Canoe Club on the north shore of Sheepshead Bay. Not long after that FDR left for Washington, D.C. and later, the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles. But the Miramar Boat & Canoe Club stayed put, growing and thriving where it started. What follows is a brief history of that club as it approaches its centenary. It is a story of how we became a member managed sailing community, with members from diverse backgrounds focused on benefiting our members and pursuing our common passion – boating.
