"The land on which the club was built was owned by the
Florida East Coast Railroad Company and sold to the Overseas Road and Toll
Bridge District [who] sold the property to Monroe County, . . . the ramp was
removed from the club ownership and released to the County for public use. In
2002, with the formation of the City of Marathon, the lease was assigned to the
City with no restrictions on use."
"The Marathon Yacht Club was formed on
April 24. 1951, with 24 present, and Chet Tingler was elected first Commodore.
An avid and knowledgeable sailor and a member of the Florida Sailing Assoc., . .
. Rivalry between the Key West Outboard Club and MYC started an overnight ocean
race in 1952 and the following year the Tingler Perpetual Trophy for the
Marathon to Key West Ocean Race was placed in competition. Tingler won it
twice."
