Partnering with Special Olympic Sailing: FYC is proud to again this year team up with Special Olympic Sailing. Look to the beach for our Special Olympic sailors and their partners on Monday and Wednesday afternoons beginning at 3:00pm. We welcome any and all to join us-even if all you want to do is sit in the gazebo and cheer us on. Remember, the more sailor partners we have the more Special Athletes we can introduce to our favorite sport. If you're not comfortable on the Hobies, we can use your help launching and beaching the boat, Race Committee or support boats. We're having a blast-join us!

FYC House Band: Can you play an instrument? Past Commodore Erik Schmitz has re-established a House Band and they are still looking for a saxophone player. They're also still accepting band members - whether you play an instrument or sing. Contact Erik for more information.  251-689-5139
