Type: Harbour

Private yacht club on the eastern shore of Cos Cob Harbour, near the mouth of the Mianus River in Riverside, Connecticut.

Guide

Approach and anchoring

Reached from Long Island Sound through the Cos Cob Harbour entrance and into the lower Mianus River. The approach channel has shoaled below its authorised depth, so a mid-tide passage is advisable for deeper draught.

Practical

Private members club with berths and moorings, a launch service and an active racing and junior sailing programme. Visiting yachts should call ahead. Provisions and shops are within walking distance in Riverside.

History

Founded in 1888 by George I. Tyson, who gave the waterfront land and financed the first clubhouse, it is the second oldest yacht club in Connecticut. The Victorian clubhouse dates from 1889.
