THE GREAT CIRCLE RACE MOVED TO MAY 12

2012 DRAFT GYA SCHEDULE   (UPDATED JANUARY 3, 2012)

http://gya.org/Schedule/Schedule%20-%20DRAFT%202012.pdf

The Mobile Yacht Club Cruisers (MYCC) mission is to get MYC members and their boats out on the water by participating in a variety of boating and cruising activities that appeal to those with varied levels of boating interest and experience.  All MYC members, power and sail boaters alike, as well as club members who don’t own a boat but love the water, are welcome to join MYCC.

JOIN US FOR OUR NEXT CRUISE!

The MYC Cruising Committee develops and executes programs and activities for Mobile Yacht Club members that educate and benefit our cruising community.  Those activities may include cruises, sailboat races geared toward cruisers, training classes, educational seminars, courtesy vessel inspections, banquets, parties and social events.

MYC Cruisers are fortunate to have so many different environments in which to experience the joys of cruising; blue water, ICW, bays, sounds, and rivers. Within easy reach from MYC are no less than five U.S. and Civil War era forts to explore, numerous opportunities to drop the hook and go to the beach, and a wide array of marinas, harbors and anchorages.  Yacht cruising is not the preserve of the rich and famous, anyone can experience its unparalleled feelings of freedom and natural wonder but be prepared – it can easily take over your life.

To join MYC Cruisers, an application form should be completed. Membership is not required to participate in the cruising activities, but the MYCC Committee maintains communication with the cruising members regarding upcoming events and completing the application provides us with the information we need to contact members and plan cruising activities. Those participating in MYC cruising events should also refer to the Standing Cruising Instructions.

As an MYC Cruiser, you can use your GYA-affiliate yacht club reciprocity to berth in GYA yacht club harbors to get in a little “landlubber” time. The following GYA member clubs offer reciprocity to Mobile Yacht Club members. For more information, please visit www.gya.org or the GYA member yacht club’s website.

*Charter member yacht clubs of the Southern Gulf Coast Yachting Association organized in 1901 and reorganized in 1920 under the Gulf Yachting Association. ** Charter member clubs of Gulf Yachting Association. *** Both.

Located approximately 5.3 miles south of Interstate 10 on Dauphin Island Pkwy in Mobile, Alabama, the clubhouse stands just north of the mouth of Dog River facing Mobile Bay. The clubhouse is located 20’ from the water’s edge and offers panoramic views of the bay and its water based activities. 

The Mobile Yacht Club sponsors and participates in numerous regattas. The Club is actively engaged in various sailing programs and local schools to encourage youth participation in the sport of sailing. Additionally, the Club maintains a fleet of Flying Scots, Club 420’s and Optimist dinghies for membership’s use in day sailing or competitive racing.

In addition to sailing, the Club provides a friendly atmosphere for social gatherings and camaraderie. Our friendly staff offers a comfortable dining experience for all members and guests. The full service restaurant and bar will cater to your individual needs in the spacious dinning area, or prepare to-go snacks for when you’re cruising on the bay. Along with your unique dining experience, the Club hosts live music and other social activities on a routine basis. The women’s organization, Bay Gales, has been instrumental in enhancing the fun, growth, and sense of community within the Club.

The harbor is located behind the club house in a well-protected bayou off Dog River. The harbor has been dredged to a depth of 8 feet at low tide. City water and 110 volt electrical power are available. Transient slips are furnished on a space available basis. Our slips are regularly filled at 90% capacity.

A Governing Board, elected by the membership, is charged with maintaining the business, financial, and operational matters of the Club. The Board consists of a Commodore, Vice Commodore, Rear Commodore, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, and Treasurer; plus six Directors at Large. Members are encouraged to actively participate in club proceedings.

We encourage all individuals considering us for membership to contact a Board member to schedule a visit to see what our Club has to offer.
