Washington Irving Boat Club Still Going Strong 60 Years Later

|  by Janie Rosman  | When the sun begins to set, the view from the Washington Irving Boat Club (WIBC) can take your breath away with its unobstructed view of the river and the Tappan Zee Bridge, where President Obama and Governor Cuomo addressed Tarrytown and the nation last year.

The Saturday before Memorial Day found Fleet Master Walter Gregory and several members moving boats via the Travel Lift into vacant slips. The club has 85 to 90 docked boats. “We’re proud of the work that members put into developing the club and maintaining it,” Gregory said while securing a boat. WIBC property includes the boatyard, the outside patio, the restaurant bar, the Tiki bar, and the grounds. WIBC originally owned the restaurant,   later leased it, but it changed ownership, and then became Sunset Cove. 

During an   opening day ceremony in June, Jacques Vieweg, Vice Commodore of Administration and Treasurer, introduced the 2015 officers: Ken Fiala, Commodore; Thomas Murphy, Vice Commodore of Operations; himself; Dann Soldan, Secretary; Raymond Fagan, Sgt. of Arms; as well as Fleet Master Gregory. Vieweg thanked the members for maintaining the club and emphasized safe boating amidst the bridge construction. Past secretary Mike Smacchia   was recognized for his contributions, which include documenting the club’s history.

Flashback to 1951, when four men — Joe Reis, Dominick Cerbone, Andrew Nemeth, Mike Kooney and Toby Mosiello — who liked boating, got together. Twenty-five men came to that first meeting, elected officers and set a $5 initiation fee. Dues were 50 cents for the eight–month boating season.   The only available location along the river was a basin next to and south of the Tarrytown Boat Club where the village dumped refuse during its bi-annual cleanups. Undaunted, the members cleaned up the area and kept each boat tied to a stake in the water. “Members used to row out to boats in the 50s and 60s,” Soldan said. WIBC had 50 members by the end of its first season. New officers were elected the next season, and members kept improving the area.

Things changed when the Tappan Zee Bridge opened on December 15, 1955. Tarrytown Harbormaster Kevin Lustyik remembered when the bridge was built. “They completed it in two-and-a-half years,” he said. “There were no restrictions on noise back then, and they did pile driving day and night.”

Initially, a Quonset hut had been put up for   as WIBC’s headquarters and staging area on the last bit of riverfront land. The Quonset hut needed many improvements and a breakwater to protect it from storms. “Members put all of the improvements in a little at a time,” Gregory said while walking through the clubhouse. “It was all volunteer back then, like it is today.

However, a written agreement with Tarrytown required the original Tappan Zee Bridge builders to dismantle and remove the Quonset hut, and remove the docks when the bridge was completed. However, Club officers had another idea and met with the Tarrytown Waterfront Commission, which agreed to turn over the lease. Its 75 members committed to work 20 hours each season to tend the grounds for village residents. Now they had a basin for mooring boats and a clubhouse for meeting per a one-year renewable lease for a maximum of 225 members.

Nearly five years later, in September 1960, Hurricane Donna seriously damaged yet did not destroy WIBC’s 300 foot bulkhead. Hurricane Donna wasn’t the last storm to impact WIBC. Hurricane Sandy, in 2012, necessitated new carpeting in the main bar and restaurant, and Quonset hut.

By 1963 they’d built and installed floats and finger floats for mooring boats. During the years the five docks were reinforced with donated concrete from Cooney Bros., Inc., and the launch ramp and area next to the docks were laid with asphalt. Members planted a lawn and flowers around the buildings and added a chain-link fence.

“Literally thousands of hours of personal work time were put in by members each according to his own skill,” Smacchia wrote. WIBC was incorporated as a nonprofit in 1956. Fast forward to 1979, when members wanted a new clubhouse and decided to buy the Little Red Schoolhouse from the Tarrytown School Board.

Lustyik pointed to a collage of pictures on the clubhouse wall. “See that building in the background?” he asked, referring to the Little Red Schoolhouse WIBC purchased more than 25 years ago.   “That’s the Pierson School at Broadway and Hamilton. The building was on its lawn and had to be taken away in sections.”

Former Commodore John O. Speight detailed the events, perhaps with a grin. “We agreed that we would make an offer of $1,500 and agree to disconnect all services and redo the grounds,” Speight wrote. “We attended the School Board meeting. At this meeting, the Fire Dept. was also there looking to make a bid. They didn’t, as they thought I said $15,000 instead of $1,500.”   Members tried to move the three separate sections that day, April 13, 1979, and finally succeeded after jacking up each section at a time, sliding the trailer under it, and lowering each section onto the trailer.

“Untold hours of work,” Soldan said about the sections. “They brought it down here, and then they had to erect it onto a foundation.” In 102-degree weather members volunteered to lay the schoolhouse’s foundation. Because of the brutal heat, they jumped into the basin, violating a club rule that exists today, celebrating more than 6,000 hours of work. WIBC’s Grand Opening was July 4,1981.

To this day, Gregory said, “We have strict rules, including no swimming in the basin.”

While the river scenery changes, WIBC remains a professional marina with a friendly, small-club atmosphere and a calendar of activities. For information, call 914-332-0517 or email [email protected].

What will become of Tarrytown's riverfront? Village explores redevelopment, fueling fears

Portrait of Michael P. McKinney

TARRYTOWN – Questions about the   fate of a venerable Hudson River boat club have raised concern that more village waterfront will turn upscale, pushing out a popular eatery and pricing out some residents.

It's a concern village officials have said is unfounded, even as it explores reimagining 238 Green St., the village-owned parkland where Washington Irving Boat Club has operated for decades. While the club has members, it's also a place where the public can go to eat or have drinks with riverfront views of sunsets and the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge.

Village government this year sought developers’ qualifications and interest in the property. Five teams have formally submitted interest, including the boat club itself.

Officials say they want to explore opening the space up more as full-fledged parkland for the public that would better take advantage of the river and a new section of walking/biking path. The section will link with the shared-use path on the Cuomo Bridge and be part of the Empire State Trail, which stretches across the state.

The village is also seeking to increase revenue from the land and make improvements to reduce the chance of flooding in the event of a severe storm.

Development:  Why Chappaqua, Mount Kisco and Yorktown downtown revamps lag

The possibility of change has drawn criticism from residents and others who are concerned for the future of the longtime dining spot and worry that whatever comes next will be less affordable.

The region's riverfront has seen its share of high-end economic development in recent years.

To the boat club’s north, apartments with amenities have risen along the West Main Street area.

Farther north, the Edge-on-Hudson luxury apartments and other homes are being built on Sleepy Hollow’s former General Motors plant site.

In comparison, the 2.5 acres of land plus 3.6acres of underwater land that hold the unassuming boat club with its tiki bar are something of yesteryear. Village documents say the site currently includes docks and slips serving roughly 90 boats.

An online petition, “Keep Washington Irving Boat Club Open and As It Is,” which the Washington Irving Boat Club website links to at the top of its homepage as "our petition," has nearly 1,600 signatures.

“The village of Tarrytown wants to turn over this public parkland to a real estate developer and turn it into a high end regional tourist attraction,” the petition asserts. “In essence the village wants to take away a 70-year-old tradition of affordable family fun and replace it with a high-end tourist attraction.” 

However, at the village Board of Trustees' Aug. 31 meeting, Trustee Rebecca McGovern said the village doesn't intend to close down the boat club or change it into a tourist attraction.

"It's not true — it's not even close to being true. For me, that boat club's a wonderful place," McGovern said, adding, "We're merely opening up a dialogue and merely looking at what is available down there and what else we can do for the village ... and we're certainly not giving it to a real estate developer."

Village Administrator Richard Slingerland said a goal is make the parkland available to more people, not just those going to the restaurant, and said the state wants the property to allow more interaction between the public and the water. He said the concept is to explore ideas of amenities such as a restaurant, marina and places for bicycles and kayaking.

“I think it really is just we have a beautiful waterfront; we want to make it better,” he said.

While the boat club says it could accomplish that itself without the possibility of a different business coming in, the village feels there is an obligation to have an open, equitable and competitive process, Slingerland said. While the club is a part of that, “we are not giving them exclusive rights to the property, either, since it is public land.”

Boat club representatives could not be reached for comment.

Comments on the change.org petition range from not needing “a rich developer ruining this beautiful place” to “there’s been enough development in the ‘town’ of Tarrytown." 

“With regard to the suggestion that the village is somehow seeking to bring in a developer to do some non park-related development with declared parkland is absolutely without any merit,” Slingerland said. “Parkland in New York state is protected by state and local law and would require an act of the New York State Legislature to de-dedicate it and then replacement with equal or better parkland. So, it is not within the realm of possibility. We are only looking to move forward into the future with park related uses.”

What has been proposed

In addition to opening up the parkland, the village is looking "for a more reasonable, market-rate rent" from the property that would "provide better revenue for the village to offset the property tax bills for Tarrytown residents," Slingerland said at the Aug. 31 board meeting.

For years, the boat club paid rent to the village that is below market rate for Westchester County riverfront property, Slingerland said in an interview.

The rates the club pays were not immediately available.

The village has no intention of putting housing or a hotel on a property that is parkland, he said.

In its request seeking developers' interest, the village said it's looking for "creative approaches to redevelopment of the property — for park-based uses and a long-term franchise agreement — and wishes to potentially establish long-term relationships with the developer(s)/operators."

The teams that submitted interest were not asked to submit proposals for what they would like to do with the property, just to state their interest, experience and qualifications. However, some of them did include proposals, in general terms, for 238 Green St.:

  • Greenwich, Connecticut-based National Resources is a real-estate development firm whose waterfront redevelopment work includes the mixed-use development Hudson Harbor in Tarrytown and the new film studio complex coming to Yonkers. Its filing with the village proposes a 5,000-square-foot Hudson Valley Gateway Visitor Center that will have a gallery for exhibits from organizations such as Scenic Hudson, Riverkeeper, Historic Hudson Valley, the Tarrytown Historical Society, and others. It would include a space for educational programs.
  • Thornwood-based Barley House Restaurant Group, which has opened Barley on the Hudson in Tarrytown as well as Thornwood and Rye eateries, said in documents it envisions the Green Street parkland with a restaurant and brewery, as well as upgrading a kayak launch and marina. It sees community events, concerts and festivals as a possibility. Under consideration for the marina/surrounding waterfront is “incorporating a historic paddle boat” that would be stationary but host events.
  • Pier 115, based in Piermont in Rockland County, said in its filing the overall vision is “the integration of the public park and marina with a publicly accessible state-of-the-art restaurant and banquet hall.”
  • Syracuse-based firm N.K. Bhandari Architecture, which has done work for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, and whose staff were involved in projects for the Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries in Beacon and for an addition to Scholastic Inc.’s Manhattan headquarters, registered interest but didn’t make a specific proposal.
  • The Washington Irving Boat Club, which has submitted a proposal to allow itself to stay there, proposes creating a "significant green park in the middle of the site for enhanced public access to and enjoyment of the Hudson River and its views." It would enclose, by landscaped fence, the marina. The proposal also suggests renovating and repurposing a Quonset hut on the property to create a center to educate children and adults about the Hudson River.

A 'working man's club'

Barbara Angelini, who grew up in Tarrytown, said her uncles were involved in starting the Washington Irving Boat Club, which she called  a “working man’s club.”

Her sister ran concessions for the club inside a Quonset hut, she said, an unglamorous, semi-cylindrical structure that takes its name from a Rhode Island location where many of the first huts were made.

“It’s a casual, affordable place for people to go. They have live music all the time and local people go there all the time,” Angelini said of the boat club, adding, “you can watch the sunset and the bridge light up, and you can see the city light up — it’s just beautiful.”

The boat club has food trucks that come by, as well as a tiki bar and a restaurant. According to the boat club's website, the bar and restaurant offers a fish and chips for $19, the grilled Atlantic salmon for $24, the New England clam chowder for $12, the lobster roll for $21, and the black angus burger for $13. 

Angelini said she knows the boat club property needs updates, but feels the village should have done more to approach club members before putting out a request for interest that's drawn out-of-town firms.

Visions for the waterfront

The parties looking to shape the property’s future submitted their formal interest in late September.

“It will be a place that brings happiness and enjoyment to tourists and Tarrytown residents alike,” said Robert Harris, member of the Barley House Restaurant Group, in the group’s filing with the village. 

Barley House Restaurant Group would work with architectural firm Austin Design, which the team's filing says has specialized in creating community destinations including “three of the most successful and beautiful breweries” in the country and has experience in developing restaurant/marina combinations.

Barley House Restaurant Group’s most recent project was opening The Barley Beach House, a restaurant on Long Island Sound in Rye, which the group’s submission to Tarrytown said was a similar process to Tarrytown officials’ approach to the 238 Green St. property. 

The group said it’s been in contact with Oasis Maria Management about developing a plan for a marina but “is also open to the idea of keeping the Washington Irving Boat Club.”

Pier 115's proposal said the Cuomo Bridge, with its walking and bicycle paths, "has spurred interest in riverfront tourism" and so having a "robust riverfront restaurant and banquet operator is a strategic engine for economic development that ripples beyond the waterfront."

Tarrytown's downtown businesses would benefit from tourism brought by the waterfront park and marina, Pier 115 said. The team's work includes the Pier 115 Bar on the Edgewater, New Jersey, waterfront, and the Hudson & Co. gastropub in Jersey City.

N.K. Bhandari's proposal stresses the community buying into any project for the site and that issues need to be considered in the larger context of the village's waterfront. 

"The added benefit to this approach is that several associated issues and opportunities are likely to be uncovered by looking at the larger context, N.K. Bhandari's Patric O'Malley said in the filing.

National Resources said its proposal for a visitors center on the property would provide "an introduction to the Hudson Valley and its various attractions but, most importantly, an introduction to Tarrytown and its nationally recognized riverwalk parks and extensive waterfront amenities."

Washington Irving Boat Club's proposal leans on its history as a steward of the site and casts itself as an affordable spot where people often arrive from their workplace, including local office workers, tradespeople, nurses in their scrubs, and mechanics employed by local businesses 

The club "began with four acres of bare dirt, and four acres of empty water leased from the Village of Tarrytown in 1956. Every one of the six buildings on the site and the public terraces, the seawalls, and the docks for 103 boats were built by the members, at their own expense, over the last (65) years," its proposal says. It adds that the club is characterized by "free access to the public always regardless of income, status, connections, or any other 'criteria.'"

What's next

Village officials will review the various submissions for the Green Street property and decide whether to eventually interview teams that expressed interest, Slingerland said.

A next step, down the road, could be whether to seek a request for formal proposals for the property. 

"It's something we are going to look at very carefully," Mayor Thomas Butler said at the trustees' Monday meeting. "We are going to probably have a professional planner also help us. And then in terms of developing the RFP — the request for proposals — we would have community involvement; we would have professionals' advice."
