The Nantucket Alerions are 26-foot cold molded sloops that are largely based upon the 1913 design of Nathaniel Herreshoff's personal boat called "Alerion". His design was modified by Club member Alfie Sanford, who founded Sanford Boat works and from 1977 to 1983 built 22 of these beautiful and iconic Nantucket sailing craft on Nantucket.
The Nantucket IOD Fleet Association (NIODFA) was established in 1997 by a group of sailors, most of whom were members of the Nantucket Yacht Club, for the purposes of owning a fleet of International One-Design keelboats (IODs) and sponsoring racing activities for the IODs in Nantucket Sound.
In the summer of 1997, Peter McCausland began aggressively promoting the idea of a fleet of IODs in Nantucket, and to this end he gathered a group of Nantucket sailors - Rear Commodore/RC Chair Bob Constable, past Commodore Geoff Verney, and Fleet Captain Mark Beale - to debate the merits of the concept.

The food that they serve there is deplorable. Members will say that it is delicious, but in actuality, I have trouble eating it. I am in no way, shape, or form picky whatsoever,… but if we're paying expensive fees for a prestigious yacht club and get food that tastes like it came from the dollar tree, it isn't as great as people make it seem. The cheese and hamburgers come in tinfoil wrapping and are the same burgers that
