ABOUT

Welcome to the Lyndale Island Yacht Club!

Hi, welcome aboard, we're glad you found us! If you're new to Lyndale Island, you may be wondering what in the world this is all about? Well it's all about bringing you a new form of interactive entertainment, information, and recreation on the internet. It's about enjoying your favorite past times with others who share the same interests. If you're into discussing politics, war, or social problems you've come to the wrong place.

I'm Jim Martin; I built my first boat at around age four and half in a kindergarten class in Philadelphia. It was built out of those big wooden brick size blocks they had back then. I used all the blocks in the school. It looked like a boat pointed at the bow, swept back about 12 feet and squared at the stern. I invited the other kids to crew and go for a ride, and we all pretended to go sailing. The teacher thought it was quite a marvel for a 4 year old to build a boat like that. She didn't know I was swashbuckling seafarer in a previous life!

Later, as a sea explorer, in the boy scouts I found that I really did love recreational boating. So did my brother Captain Tom Martin, who subsequently spent most of his professional life as a maritime Captain, sailing instructor and surveyor.

Recreational Boating is what Lyndale Island Yacht Club is all about. Captain Tom and I want to bring you as much as we can find in the areas of information, entertainment and how-to instruction all centered on the World of Recreational Boating. If you go to The Lyndale Island Site Map, you'll find an extensive list of the kinds of topics we plan to cover.

We're just getting started so you're still going to see some areas under construction. But keep checking in and you'll find new articles, videos and other features.

The Lyndale Island Yacht Club is part of a larger island complex that includes other resources including a Speedway, Auto Tuner's Center and an Aviation Center.

The Lyndale Island Development Team is composed of experts in programming, 3D design, web design, multimedia, video and other areas related to the construction and maintenance of this unique site.

The Lyndale Island Editorial staff is growing in all three areas. If you would like to contribute an article about any aspect of Recreational Boating, please submit a query to YachtClubEditor@LyndaleIsland.com. Write a paragraph that describes what your story is about and what category it falls under. We're also interested in short videos or photographic presentations.
