Boody's Point was a popular beach attraction as seen in this 1924 photo. Seneca Yacht Club purchased the property in 1929.

The clubhouse was completed in Spring 1929 at a cost of $2,937.85 and its grand opening was held on Memorial Day of that year.

Wooden Star boats returning to the club on a calm day. In the 1930's the boats were moored in front of the club, preceding hoists and two wheel trailers. Some wood vessels needed to 'soak up' and remain in the water.

In 1939 this group was ready to pack up their Comets and head to the CNYYRA Regatta in Canandaigua. Left to right, Chester Suppes, Fred Suppes, Helen Quigley, Joe Gilbert, Bill Gilbert, Bill Mulvey and Dan Quigley.

The 1948 14th Annual CNYYRA Regatta attracted hundreds of boats. Revenues from the event paid off the mortgage on the 7 acre field across the highway—space that served as parking for this major event.

Three popular classes of one design boats raced consistently through the 1950's. Comets, Thistles and Stars.

A conversation in the 1950's among Oliver Wood (seated), Bill Mulvey, Sr., Bing Murray, Richard Mulvey and E.C. 'Lauty' Lautenslager, an artist whose illustrations captured many aspects of life at SYC.

Cabin cruisers at their slips during a weekend in 1957. Mark boats and the committee boat moored at docks in the scene's foreground show the new haulout area completed in time for the 1957 Thistle Class Nationals.

The removal of the the 96A bridge greatly reduced auto traffic past the yacht club while opening the new state park marina to sailboat slips.

The 96A relocation bypassed Boody's Hill Road in the early 1960's, thus providing better access to the club's lands bordered by the railroad and the highway.

Sailing Instruction has always been an important activity, now conducted under SYC's hosted Seneca Sailing Academy

Artwork by member E.C. 'Lauty' Lautenslager is found throughout SYC literature.
