Events
NOTE: A NEW DATE!
When someone is taken ill or injured on board, knowing how to respond may be the difference between a healthy recovery or much worse. This class will teach you how to deal with things like broken bones, head injuries, choking, hypothermia, etc. that might occur when help is not immediately available. We’ll learn when we have to call for help, and how to best to stabilize a patient until assistance arrives.
Space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Every year, this is one of our most popular events. Breakfast with all the fixin’s on the deck overlooking the harbor. A perfect morning!
The Club will take care of the coffee, scrambled eggs and bacon. It would be great if you’d bring a breakfast dish to share. Any questions, just ask Ellen Sullivan.
See you there!
One of our most popular events of the summer is always the annual KYC cruise to Edgartown over the July 4th weekend. With this year’s Wednesday holiday, many of the KYC boats will be going for 4 or 5 days. You can stay as long as you like! Mooring reservations for Edgartown Harbor open at 8:00AM on Thursday, March 1st, only on dockwa.com. Dockage reservations open at 10:00AM on February 15th, also on dockwa.com.
Activities in Edgartown this year will include dinghy trips to Chappaquiddick Island / Cape Poge Bay, parade viewing at the Harbor View Hotel, and a fireworks party on the night of the 4th.. Please contact Jerry Murphy at rear-commodore@kyc.us with any further questions and to confirm your arrival date and Edgartown location (slip, mooring or anchoring).
The KYC Boat Parade
Dress your boat for the holiday and join us at the head of the Kingman/Parkers channel at 11:00AM on the 4th. We’ll parade past the reviewing stand on the Kingman front docks, and we’ll have prizes for the most patriotic and best dressed boats.
The 2nd Annual KYC Raingutter Regatta
Lung-powered racing sailboats will replace the Cardboard Regatta this year. Stay tuned for details.
The Greasy Watermellon Challenge!
Just so the guys don’t feel left out. First one back to the beach with the watermelon wins!
