The Honorable William Wall was built in 2002 by the Manhattan Yacht Club as a Race Committee platform to start and finish the sailboat races. It was also designed to make it possible for spectators to watch the races.
Races are currently held on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. You can come out, watch the races and cheer for your favorite team. Tuesday & Wednesday races are for member teams and Thursday is for the Corporate Sailing League.
After the Honorable William Wall was built, the club discovered it was also a great public relations vehicle. People who visited saw the sailboats and many signed up for sailing lessons. This is why Manhattan Yacht Club opened up the Honorable William Wall to the public and sparked the growth of sailing in the harbor.
Once you start sailing, your life changes for the better. Start your journey soon by visiting the Honorable William Wall.
