During the initial downtime posed by the pandemic, when clubs were not bustling with their usual activity, some long-postponed renovation projects returned to the forefront. Such was the case for Sea Cliff (N.Y.) Yacht Club, where a dining facility underwent a décor update—with new lighting, carpet, window treatments and artwork—that better complements its picturesque surroundings on the North Shore of Long Island. “We did not have any plans to do any capital improvements, but our membership rolls had stayed strong, and [so] the board decided to move forward with the project,” says General Manager Charlie Walsh. This past June, the club put the finishing touches on improvements made to its 2,500-sq. ft. member dining room for just under $40,000—and just in time for the summer season.
ENHANCING THE ‘WOW’ FACTOR Just off the Long Island Sound, Sea Cliff YC has been a second home to seasoned sailors and landlubbers alike since 1892. To keep up with members’ expectations www.clubandresortbusiness.com
