ABOUT AMERICAN YACHT CLUB
The American Yacht Club (AYC), founded 140 years ago by Jay Gould and his peers, has grown from a haven for steam yachts into a premier sailing institution on Long Island Sound. Established at Milton Point in Rye, NY, in 1883, the club purchased its iconic property for $6,000. Despite a devastating fire in 1951, the clubhouse was rebuilt within a year, symbolizing the resilience of its members.
AYC has a storied history of sailing excellence, with members achieving success in America’s Cup defenses, Olympic medals, and various championships. The annual Invitational Cruise blends competition with family fun, highlighting the club’s vibrant culture.
With over 100 keelboats, 50 dry-sailed boats, and 150 small boats, AYC hosts near-weekly sailing events. It fosters a lifelong love for sailing, offering opportunities for recreational and competitive enthusiasts alike, and solidifying its reputation as a cornerstone of the sailing community.
CLUB MISSION STATEMENT

Through a consistent, approachable, and proactive style, this leader will help foster clarity, alignment, and informed decisionmaking across the organization.

The CFO/Controller will assess existing talent and structure against the Club’s future needs, make thoughtful decisions in the best interests of the organization, and build scalable processes that support AYC’s active calendar and significant capital-investment activity. With frequent capital projects, evolving systems, and a patchwork of legacy tools, the role offers the opportunity to research, streamline, and implement efficiencies that meaningfully improve operations.
The ideal candidate brings strong technical expertise, high emotional intelligence, a good sense of humor, and unquestioned integrity.
