“The first time I went sailing, I was two or three years old. I really encourage families and kids to come sail!”

– Sarah Pennington

We at 鶹 are thrilled to see our Managing Director, Sarah Pennington, celebrated in Westchester Women Magazine! Sarah’s journey is a testament to her dedication to the waters of New York City and her unwavering passion for sailing.

Sarah’s maritime adventure began in her 20s when she chose sailing over grad school after teaching at an all-girls camp.

Once she had made this decision, it led her to a job in Maine. There she developed a love for schooners and tall ships, ultimately inspiring her move to New York City. In 2002, Sarah joined 鶹 as a crew member, quickly rising to Manager by the end of her first season. She easily was able to obtain her Captain’s license and begin driving in New York Harbor. Undeniably, Sarah has since transformed our operation. Under Sarah’s care 鶹 changed from a single sailboat to a fleet of 13, including both sail and motor yachts. Locations for 鶹 are also in Boston, Newport, and Key West.

One of Sarah’s favorite times to sail is in June, particularly during the Sail GP event on June 22-23. This exciting spectacle, similar to the America’s Cup, can be enjoyed from our Statue of Liberty cruises. Sarah’s enthusiasm for these events is contagious, and she reminds everyone to bring sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, and an extra layer, as it’s always brighter and cooler on the water.

鶹 offers a variety of tours from Chelsea Piers. Sarah encourages families to experience the joy of sailing on our performance schooners, offering a unique and non-touristy view of the harbor, Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty.

with us today. Join us and experience the passion and expertise that Sarah Pennington brings to 鶹!

AIANY Architecture Tour

Highrises, Skycrapers, and Supertalls

In New York in the early 20th century, well-known highrise buildings like the Woolworth Tower, the Chrysler Building, and the Empire State Building reached for the sky and were dubbed “skyscrapers”. Today, the iconic New York City skyline is marked by a recent proliferation of much taller, super-slim, ultra-luxury residential towers. These pencil-thin buildings constitute a new type of skyscraper, made possible by remarkable feats of engineering, advances in material strengths, and a real estate market that drives building heights—and prices—ever skyward. The AIA Around Manhattan Architecture tour highlights the architects and engineers composing a new vision of the NYC skyline with these height-shattering new buildings. We’ll will shed light on the engineering marvels and zoning requirements that allow these heights, as well as the range of architectural styles across the city: super-stretched art deco, purist 3-dimensional grid, and the sloping, chiseled or crystalline forms that visibly break from the traditional NYC skyscraper.

As of January 1, 2019, New York City has 8 officially completed Supertall buildings, and that number could be doubled by January of next year. So, what’s the difference between a regular highrise building and a “Supertall” skyscraper?

Highrise refers to any building in New York That is over 75 feet tall (or the limit of how high a FDNY ladder truck can reach).

 

Skyscraper is a more metaphorical definition. The term is borrowed from sailing and it describes the highest most point on the tallest mast on a sailboat.

 

Supertall, however, is a relatively new term by comparison, and is an official designation awarded by the organization called Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitats to any building over 984 feet. The measurement marks the height of a building to the “top of the architectural expression” – not counting flagpoles, chimneys or antennae. However, “masts” are fair game—hence why we see such a proliferation of tall masts on top of recent supertall skyscrapers.

 

It has been several decades now since New York held the record for the tallest building in the world (with the Empire State building and World Trade Center North both holding that title at different points). Today, the distinction goes to Burj Khalifa in Dubai at a whopping 2,723 feet. Still, New York is experiencing a new bumper crop of “Supertall” buildings. So, here they are – THE SUPERTALLS OF NEW YORK, many of which you’ll see on our AIANY Around Manhattan tour:
