St. Croix Yacht Club - Stillwater, MN - USA ( Welcome )
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The St. Croix Yacht Club was founded by Bill Boker and Don Bentzen, in 1946. These two gentlemen owned boats that had been confiscated by the Coast Guard in 1943 for river patrol during World War II. At the conclusion of the war, the Coast Guard refurbished the boats and returned them in 1947 to the original owners. At that time, Boker and Bentzen resumed pleasure boating on the St. Croix River out of Sunnyside, and with ten other boating friends, founded the St. Croix Yacht Club. Boker and Bentzen shared the leadership of the Club during these early years until 1954 when Newell Paige was elected the Commodore. The majority of the original owners all had runabouts and there was a group known as "The River Rats" among them. The original Clubhouse was an old railroad car and is now the framework for our present kitchen; the bathroom facilities consisted of an "outhouse." One of the early parties was a fund raiser, and the proceeds from that were used to add the center room with the fireplace.
