The Marist Boathouse
Marist crew has been very active in
competitive sports since the early 1960s.
In 1963 the Marist boathouse was built and
named in memory of William Martin,
chairman of the fund drive for its
construction. It housed the college's rowing
and sailing equipment and the crew boats. The two ramps leading to the
Hudson River are used to launch the crew and sail boats which the
Marist crew uses in racing and regattas.
Initially 13-foot wooden sloops called Blue Jays were used in student
sailing competition and for pleasure sailing by the faculty. These were
replaced in 1966 by Barnegats, 19-foot fiberglass sloops. For racing
there was a crew of two but the boat could hold six. These Barnegats
were later replaced by smaller boats.
For five consecutive years, ending in 1996, the Marist's men crew won
the prestigious Haight Trophy by defeating eight other eastern college
schools. Marist crew holds an honored position in this, the oldest
intercollegiate sport in America. Its crowning achievement was to
qualify, in 2002, for the Henley Cup Regatta in Oxford, England. They
were defeated in the second round by Harvard, the eventual overall
winner.

From the beginning, Marist Heritage has been a collaborative effort.
We appreciate the contributions of the Marist Brothers and the Marists All
community, who by supplying information and personal memories, have given vitality,
scope and depth to this project
Under the guidance and direction of Dr. Brian Henry Desilets, the initial web pages
were designed and created by the following Marist College students: Michele van
Brero (Hermitage, St. Peter's, Kieran Gate House, Greystone, Marist Brothers
Builders, Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Chapel).....Tage Haun (Bech Homestead, Marian,
Donnelly).....Fang Fang Xu (Boat House, Byrne House, Kirk House).....Courtney Gutt
(Bech Family History).....Vij lyer (Cemetery).....Rahkee Chopra (Fontaine Hall).
All the final Marist Heritage web pages were either created, revised, rewritten
and/or reshaped by John Patrick Noone, who is solely responsible for any errors
contained therein.
We thank Richard Branigan for proofreading the Marist Heritage web pages.
We recognize the contributions of our consultants: John Ansley for his input on the
format and contents of the various web pages. Also Victor VanCarpels for his
frequent consultations and guidance in the graphics included in this CD. His
patience and dedication while working with us made the overall results more
professional.
We are grateful to Barbara McMullen for the use of the Ecommerce facility at Marist
College.
We are indebted to the McCann Foundation which provided the funds necessary to make
this project a reality.
