In 1909 in Ocean Gate a number of summer residents from Philadelphia decided
to form a club. Its purpose would be “to promote yachting and rowing and to
foster athletic sports upon the water and to promote the interests and welfare
of Ocean Gate.” Thus was born the Ocean Gate Yacht Club. The club built a
clubhouse, finished in 1912, which for unknown reasons they build not on solid
ground but rather on a set of piles in front of the coast.
In 1914 the club
became a charter member for the Barnegat Bay Yacht Racing Association. For many
years afterwards, the club was still plagued by its building decision, until in
1994 a new clubhouse was dedicated on dry land. Even so, more than any success
on the water, it's this piece of information that forms the bulk of their club
history.
The club's burgee is a red edge, with inside it a white edge,
and within that a blue centre, all shaped as the burgee is.
