Event Calendar
The unofficial start of summer is here!
A officer of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary will offer free, voluntary Vessel Safety Checks at Kingman Yacht Center on Friday 6/19 from 3:00pm to 7:00pm, and on Saturday 6/20 from 8:00am until 5:00pm. He’ll check to make sure that your boat has all required safety equipment aboard, and boats that pass will get a sticker to tell authorities that you are in compliance with maritime laws and regulations.
The inspector will wear a mask and gloves and will not handle any of the boat’s equipment.
We’ll be bringing in speakers on a variety of topics for informal talks under the tent at the Chart Room.
Stay tuned for details.
We’ll coax out your inner artist. Come to the KYC Paint & Wine party and find out what you can create! It’s a fun, easy event. No art ability required. Hang out with friends, BYOB and produce your own stressless masterpiece! Tuesday evening under the tent at the Chart Room.
Limited to 12 participants. $___ per person. All paint supplies and canvas provided. Stay tuned for reservation information.
Cruising is so much more fun as a group!
Join us as we take advantage of early-season dockage rates and explore beautiful Nantucket before the crowds arrive! We’ll have details as we get a bit closer to the date, but you can email Jerry Murphy if you have questions. rear-commodore@kyc.us
All you need is a smart phone and a desire to have some fun!
Teams can be made up of as many people as you want, but no more than 4 people over the age of 18 per team. Our clues will lead your team to several locations in and around KYC. Your team answers each clue, goes to the location and takes a team selfie at that spot to prove that you answered it correctly. You can answer the clues in any order, except that the last one must be done last. First team to check in at the final location and show the correct selfies wins!
Meet at the Chart Room tent at 9:45. Clues will be given out at 10:00.
One of our most popular events of the summer for the last ten + years has been the annual KYC Cruise to Edgartown over the July 4th weekend, with at least a dozen KYC boats going every year for between 3 and 5 days.
Mooring reservations for Edgartown Harbor open at 8:00AM SHARP on Monday, March 1st, only on Dockwa.com. As these moorings historically sell out very quickly (in fact, they sold out in the first 3 minutes last year), please set up your Dockwa account (or verify your account is up to date with valid CC #’s and Exp. Dates) in advance as you won’t have time on that Monday morning. Please note the Harbormaster has not yet determined if they’ll allow rafting this summer, so all boats should make their own individual reservations, as cancellations are easy and inexpensive.
Activities in Edgartown usually include dinghy trips to Chappaquiddick Island/Cape Poge Bay, Lighthouse Beach and/or South Beach, a cocktail reception on the deck of the Harbor View Hotel (tentatively scheduled for Saturday afternoon, July 3rd this year), parade viewing along Main Street or North Water Street and one of best fireworks displays around on the night of the 4th.
Please contact Jerry Murphy at rear-commodore@kyc.us with any further questions and/or after you have rec’d your Dockwa confirmation with your arrival date.
