Yacht Club Bars Men
Sandy Cove Organization Marks
Third Anniversary Tomorrow

It's women only" that the wild
waves sing at the Sandy Cove Yacht
Club. which claims to be the only
exclusively feminine yacht club in
the world and is "commodored" by
a Washington woman, Miss Lois M.
Garlock of the United States EN-
ploye's Compensation Commission.
This novel club, which will cele-
brate its third anniversary tomor-
row, is composed of about 10 busi-
ness women from Washington, Bal
timore. Philadelphia, Wilmington.
Chester and other places along the
Atlantic Seaboard. About 20 of its
members are Washington women,
who motor up to Sandy Cove on the
North East River in Maryland on
week ends and at vacation time to
relax and enjoy water sports in their
modest "Amazonia," where the 'less
deadly of the Species" the male, Is
forbidden to enter.
The story of the clubs origin is
scarcely less interesting than the
group which comprises it and which
includes cotton broker, a violinist.
a librarian, an architect, several
business executives, instructors,
nurses, stenographers and the pri-
vate secretary to the Mayor of
Philadelphia.
Three years ago group of seven
women. Of whom Miss Garlock was
one, were seated before a fire at
vacation resort at Sandy Cove.
which was built, equipped, stated
and managed exclusively for career
women to provide novel and con-
genial place to spend vacations.
Proposal Received
Spontaneous Approval.
Lets organize a yacht club" sug-
gested Miss Garlock. The idea re-
celved unanimous and spontaneous
approval. The seven were without
boat, knew nothing about sailing
one if they had it, had no uniforms
nor nautical training. These details,
however. in no way dampened the
enthusiasm.
A motor boat was soon purchased
with funds raised by the group. In
structions in navigation and pilot
ing were taken and the hazards"
of the surrounding shores and har-
bors were carefully noted, as we'll as

short time it would have been cifi-

able-bodied seawomen than those

Cove fleet of six vessels. The flag
ship was the motor boat Sandra and
the baby of the fleet was a little
sailing "dink," manned by a single
seawoman.
