For many of us sailing is a passion that has grown over a number of years. This often means that we have varied levels of skill and experience or different individual goals. To help us all participate we have many programs at HYC to get you on the water.
Crew Bank:If you have a boat & need crew or want to crew and need a boat (or have it all but don't know what to do with it!), send an email to crew@hudsonyachtclub.com and we will try to get you out on the water. Please provide your contact information and experience so we can match you appropriately.
The bench near Hy-Seas will be the official Crew Bench. Anyone wanting to crew can present themselves at that bench before a race and we will do our best to get you on a boat.
Stay informed & spread the word - get your name on the sailors' advisory emails and check the notice boards for updates and crewing opportunities.
Learn-To-Sail Program:HYC offers a great Learn-To-Sail program for adults. Designed to introduce the novice or the individual with limited experience to the sport of sailing. The course should provide the participant with the confidence and skill to sail in a variety of wind conditions and with the basic knowledge of racing skills. Call the office or check out the Club Website for more information.

Clinics:Aug 1-2 - Racing Clinic
Building on the experience gained over the previous clinics, we will focus this year on Racing Skills and Spinnakers. Clinics are open to men & women with some experience. Volunteering to assist in coaching, providing boats and sharing your experience, are also great opportunities to participate in these clinics.
Women's Racing:With a growing number of Women’s events the camaraderie of this fleet is certainly unmistakable. This year there will be fully owned and operated women’s boat at HYC and several Regattas on the Lake.
July 19 - HYC Women's Regatta
Aug 23 - Régate des femmes (Oka)
