New York City: Central Park Model Yacht Club + the Kerbs Boat House

Perched alongside the Conservatory Water on the east side of Central Park is a compact, gracious building full of minitaure yachts. On fair-weather Saturday mornings, if you are lucky, you can catch members of the Central Park Model Yacht Club (established in 1916 and immortalized by E.B. White in STUART LITTLE) sailing these boats across the glassy water.
