The article lacks any in-text citation, and the writing is simply what is stated on their website, but changed to a neutral point of view.

On Wikipedia:

"The Neenah Nodaway Yacht Club (NNYC) is based in Neenah, Wisconsin and was established in 1864. This makes it one of the oldest yacht clubs in the country. Since its formation the NNYC has been committed to promoting sailing for individuals of all ages through sponsorships of club racing and cruising..."

On their website:

"The Neenah-Nodaway Yacht Club (NNYC) has been in existence since 1864, making it one of the oldest Yacht Clubs in the country. During the years since our founding, the NNYC has been committed to promoting sailing for individuals of all ages by sponsoring club racing and cruising,..."

The History section is lifted word-for-word from the NNYC website. The article on the website says it was authored by Suzanne Harness in 1992, who is not mentioned. Her article sources History of the Neenah-Nedaway Yacht Club by James C. Kimberly, who is mentioned as a member of the club and veteran sailor, but not as a historian. Other sources for the history mentioned by Harness is yearbooks, and a conversation with Bud Dick, who is mentioned as an instructor but not credited for his interview.
