a chance for members to gather, following a long, cold winter. It affords
a chance for camaraderie and begins to focus attention on the season to
come
Clubhouse Commissioning Day Back

Every year we have a Clubhouse Commissioning Day . We are
looking for volunteers to help us do some scraping, painting and general
cleaning. We plan to have a cook out after the work is done as a thank
you to the volunteers. Please consider lending a hand — we can use
the help! Please bring a paint brush and scraper. Ladders
of any type are appreciated, as well. We begin our spring “spruce-up”
of the clubhouse at 9:00 AM.
Open
House, Skipper's Meeting, cocktail party
Back
to Top
The
most popular club activity is the Wednesday night race series, which attracted
35 yachts last year. We hope to see at least that many racers again this
year.
Existing and prospective members are invited to meet with Flag officers
of the MYC, to discuss race procedures, changes in racing rules, MYC course
marks and other subjects of interests to racers. Info for skippers meeting - click here. Starting mid-June,
the yacht club hosts one race every Wednesday night beginning at 6 p.m.
