Visiting yachts

The HYC welcomes visiting yachts, who often take advantage of the club's location at "the gateway to the Sound" for a convenient layover before proceeding on to points farther out, or on the return trip home. The club has several moorings that, for a reasonable fee, are available to visiting yachts, as well as moorings that cruising members have temporarily vacated. Our launch monitors VHF channel 72, and will be pleased to escort you to the appropriate mooring.

Greetings from your marine chair and the launch and haul gang

It is that time of year when all good HYC members prep and launch their boats and clean out the yard. The official launch season starts April 18th when the first launch goes into service. We will try to make the launch process as painless as possible but there are some rules that need to be followed and only you can make that happen.
