Welcome members and visiting sailors and racers!  

This website is normally updated frequently, especially during the boating season. At the current time, even while it is cold and snowy as this is written, there are many members who are busy preparing an entirely new MYC website. The new site will have added functionality, including mobile access. With lots of energy being focused on the new website, only minimal updates will be made here. Club events that will occur in the near future are being posted to the calendar so that you have a source of all the information you need right away. However, the full calendar and other information, such as sailing instructions for the 2013 race season, are not being posted here. Instead, we will put that information into the new site. Watch for announcements of the new site, which will be made as soon as it is ready.

Sailing Clinic
Start Date/Time: Saturday, June 30, 2012 1:00 PM
Recurring Event: One time event
Importance: Normal Priority
Description:

Please take note that our first Sailing Seminar is scheduled for June 30th, this coming Saturday!  The focus will be Learn How to Sail, as well as a refresher course for those who have not been sailing in a while.

 

This 3-hour seminar will be held at the MYC and sailed in Rhodes 19's under the guidance of MSA instructors from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm on Saturday. If you would like to sign up for this session, please e-mail Emmett Snyder emmettsnyder@yahoo.com or call him on his cell phone at 978-325-1283.

 

Please RSVP to this seminar no later than Thursday the 28th of June before 5:00 pm.  It is important that we know how many attendees there will be to set up the boats and instructors. The cost for this 3-hour clinic will be $35 for club members.  

Do not fret if your schedule does not allow you to attend this great opportunity because the MYC has also arranged for its members to schedule private lessons with the MSA instructors at $25 an hour to work on any specific skills that you would like to improve. If you would like to schedule a private lesson, please e-mail or call Emmett Snyder as noted above.

 

Lessons will be given on the weekends and must be signed up for in advance, and at the latest by 5:00 pm the Thursday prior to lesson.

Please take advantage of this great opportunity!

 

MSA boat sign out will be on a first come first serve basis. If you wish to join a Sunday race day, or give a try at the new Wednesday night Twilight race, or just wish to sail around and you need a boat to borrow, MSA boats are available to use for the MYC membership. Again sign up must happen through Emmett Snyder who will be our point person with MSA.

 

The second Sailing Seminar will be held on Saturday July 21st from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm (cost is $35) and will focus on more advanced sailing techniques. Feel free to sign up now, in advance, and let us know what you would like to learn more about and which skills you want to brush up on. 

Have a very safe boating season and keep on learning!
