The following excerpt from the Sheboygan Yacht Club - The First Fifty Years best exemplifies the rich heritage of the club and the reason for its unparalleled success.

"The history of the Sheboygan Yacht Club is one of building - brick by brick and board by board - one of the finest facilities on the Great Lakes.

It is a history of personalities, projects, parties and problems - all of which made unique contributions to the overall growth and strength of the organization.

Most important, it is a history of a group of men from all walks of life who have lent their time and their skills to the creation of an organization which values its members for their efforts rather than for their wealth or social standing.

Hundreds of people have participated during the first fifty years, and hundreds more will replace them in the coming decades - all joined in the common bond of a love for boats and a desire to further the purposes of their Club."
