Historic LI yacht club closes

"After 135 years of sailing and socializing, Long Island's second-oldest yacht club has shut down and put its Port Washington waterfront property up for sale.

Knickerbocker Yacht Club officers say their club sank under the weight of declining membership, a sagging economy and changing lifestyles. They and officials of other Island yacht clubs say they know of no other clubs that have folded during the economic downturn"
