The clubhouse is in the background. Later photos show it painted a darker color. Just out of the photo to the right was the electric winch that was used to pull boats and trailers from the water to the line where they stayed during the summer.
Taken from farther north and looking south, the tower is seen with the flagpole in front, for the purpose of signal flags that could be visible to the boats in a race. NSYC had better sand than the public beach, and in about 1960 they traded places.
Back Row: Unknown, Andy Kaiser, Gunter Schwandt, RCE Carlson; Front Row: Pete Weinert, Bud Harring. Note the patch on Gunter Schwandt's blazer pocket. It may be the one visible in #1455 and 1456.
