Orr’s-Bailey Yacht Club

The orr’s-bailey yacht club (obyc) is a small, family-oriented yacht club located on the western shore of orr’s island, maine..

OBYC began with a few dedicated sportsmen in 1954, and today is a volunteer-run organization with a membership of 260 (limited by design). Although we have minimal amenities, we welcome cruising visitors at our guest moorings and our sailing school is open to the public.

Situated amid spectacular scenery on Merriconeag Sound in Casco Bay, our anchorage (a designated “special anchorage”) is sheltered except in a strong northwest wind.

The Orr’s and Bailey Islands area is home to the historic landmark cribstone bridge, the only one of its kind in the world, where the tide flows freely through its granite block construction. Also nearby is the world famous Cook’s Lobster House restaurant. Some small shops, restaurants and an outstanding panoramic ocean view are all within a short walk of the club.

Welcome to THE FUN CLUB

2023-2024 – celebrating 58 years of boating fun.

The Beginning – June 1966, a group of yachtsmen at the Boatel Marina dock (now the Tugboat) was laughing, telling jokes and having a great time. A brainstorm – why not start a “FUN CLUB” for boaters? A room was offered by the Boatel and the club, with 13 members, was initiated. Over 50 years later, the Club burgee can be seen along the East and West coasts with members enjoying the “FUN CLUB” and its activities year around.

If your address or boat changes during the year please notify  Kate Winslow, Club Administrator , so that the membership can be informed and our mailing list and Roster can be kept up to date.

The Grunion

Grunion sports, grunion sports | on the water: maine maritime wins the pola harbor cup.

Maine Maritime recently won the POLA Harbor Cup for the first time since the regatta’s first two iterations in 2008 and 2009, with the U.S. Navy coming in second and the College of Charleston placing third.

Cal Maritime, from which the Harbor Cup’s founders hailed, came in fourth.

But speaking of Cal Martime, let’s dicuss the mission of the Harbor Cup, which takes place at the Los Angeles Yacht Club. It exists to provide young men and women the opportunity to enjoy competitive offshore sailing, with a focus on Corinthian values, sportsmanship and ocean stewardship.

The visionaries who founded the cup were Los Angeles Yacht Club Staff Commodore Jim Morgan and Long Beach Yacht Club Staff Commodore John Z. Strong. Both are Cal Maritime grads and they worked together in the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

On Friday evening, after Harbor Cup racing, there was a reception of Cal Maritime alumni, the students who were racing, and other folks who shared a passion for the Cal State University that’s located in Vallejo.

Their sailing coach, Kerry Deaver, was there and and spoke about the difference between college sailing teams said.

“Yale kids don’t go to sea when they graduate,” he said.

Deaver is the daughter of Richard Deaver, the 1976 Congressional Cup-winning skipper and Olympic sailor.

Retired Vice Admiral Michael J. Dumont, who is now the interim president of Cal Maritime, addressed the group and announced that in May, as part of the university’s graduation ceremonies, Jim Morgan would be awarded an honorary doctorate degree from Cal Maritime.

His volunteer work for the university includes not only his Harbor Cup activities but also mentoring high school students and encouraging many of them to become first-generation college students at Cal Maritime.

Morgan developed a “boot camp” for Banning High School students that included a campus visit to Vallejo, Strong said. As a result of Morgan’s recruitment efforts at schools near the Port of LA, students from the area outnumber students from any other area in the United States.

Boat rental moves

Harbor Light Yacht Club Marina, Long Beach’s popular membership-based boat rental company, with operations near the Queen Mary, has relocated its rental boats south — to San Diego.

“The marina we operate out of in Long Beach has not been able to negotiate a lease extension with the Hotel Maya and the hotel has decided to close our marina,” an email to members said. “We are therefore forced to close our Long Beach club and are in the process of moving the fleet black back to San Diego.

“Unfortunately, “there are ) no other marinas in the Long Beach Los Angeles harbor that can accommodate the fleet along with an office to run the operation,” the email added. “We regret having to close the Long Beach club but at this point we have no other viable options.”

Hybrid boat show

The Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo North America Exhibition and Conference, to be held at Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center, on March 13 and 14, is dedicated solely to showcasing the very latest and next-generation electric and hybrid marine propulsion technologies, charging equipment and fuel-saving solutions.

Several charter boat operators in the greater Long Beach area have been exploring green alternatives over the past several years. The expo will have displays and presentations on green marine propulsion systems, emission-reduction fuels, hybrid systems and charging technologies. It is anticipated that announcements regarding orders of vessels — to be used locally — could be announced this week.
