Five HYC boats (and seven crews) moored in Oyster Bay July 11-12, reviving the club's traditional Rendezvous

HYC boats will rendezvous in Oyster Bay on Saturday, July 11 to Sunday, July 12. Skippers can sail their own boats. Other members can hitch a boat-ride or come overland by car to Oyster Bay. To hitch a ride, reach out to a skipper you know. For example, a new social member is sailing with Fleet Captain Roger Karlebach on the boat ILENE, and he and the human Ilene have room for one more. We'll add info about who is open to passengers here. Here are the basics: Boats enter Oyst

Here's the official schedule from the Sail4th website: July 3, 1

Now, the Sailing Ambassador program gives HYC members--especially Social and Intermediate members--a chance to go sailing on weekends, as well. To Go Sailing (for Volunteer Crew) HYCers interested in either the Sailing Ambassador
