It is with a heavy heart that we inform you of the passing this week of one of our own - William “Bill” Schwartz. Bill was a long-time member, past Commodore and current Board Member at the yacht club. He was an active member, always willing to step up in a crisis or to just lend a hand to a fellow boater in need. Bill had a friendly smile, gentle spirit and great laugh. He will be sorely missed.
His sailboat, the Falcon was decorated with Christmas lights each Holiday season bringing good cheer and warm thoughts to the club and to of all the wonderful friends down here.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Croton Yacht Club hosts educational seminars in April

The Yacht Club will once again be hosting its annual Hudson River education seminars on Friday, April 12 and Friday, April 26, both starting at 7:30 p.m. These two events are free of charge and open to the public. Please come out and join us for evenings guaranteed to be both educational and entertaining.

On Friday, April 12 at 7:30 p.m., Scott Craven will be presenting “Lighthouses Along the Hudson” which will include photographs and discussion about the history and functionality of the numerous lighthouses along the Hudson River.

Scott has lived along the banks of the Hudson River his entire life and is a boater, avid fly fisherman, hiker and historian. Scott is also an accomplished author and has recently co-authored the book “Croton Point Park – Westchester’s Jewel on the Hudson”. Scott has captivated audiences with his prior presentations and we are privileged to have him share his extensive knowledge and understanding of the Hudson River with you all.

On Friday, April 26 at 7:30 p.m., representatives from Riverkeeper will present: ”Transmission Lines in the Hudson River: What you need to know about the Champlain Hudson Power Express Project and Clean Path Project.”

In November 2021, New York finalized contracts for Clean Path, NY and Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) to deliver onshore wind and solar energy from upstate New York and hydroelectric power from Canada to New York City. A significant portion of each transmission line route will be submerged under the Hudson River.

Riverkeeper's staff attorney Drew Gamils and Habitat Restoration Director George Jackman will provide an overview of the Clean Path and CHPE transmission projects. This overview will include a description of each project, status update on each project, and a discussion of the potential environmental impacts and the Champlain Hudson Environmental Trust.
