"Private Yacht Club
founded 1934 as the Hi and Dry Yacht Club, later Essex Open Yacht Racing
Association, which became the Pettipaug Yacht Club in 1950. In 1970 the club
purchased the tract of land running back from the old property to the creek.
Floats and clubhouse were refurbished in 1985."

"The club was
established as Pettipaug Yacht Club in 1950, but I unfortunately have no
information about the origin or design of the burgee."

Lloyd's Register of American Yachts of 1963 lists the club, describing it as
Formerly Essex Open Class Association, and adds Est. 1938. Indeed, that name is
used in the obituary at
http://www.bigbluehistory.net/bb/statistics/Officials/Wright_McCallip.html,
which also mentions the relationship between the two clubs.
