Topic - Safety Afloat
This training session is designed for the beginning boater or as a refresher for experienced sailors. It will cover the many aspects of insuring water activities are done in a safe manner. It will include personal safety, insuring your vessel is safe, using the facilities to launch and retrieve boats, the impact of weather, what to do when things go wrong and how to assist other boaters when in need.
All Sea Scout activities are open to all SSYC members, families and guests. Join us for this first class of the winter season. You may participate via a Zoom virtual meeting if you wish.

Sailing and Racing
If you are interested in sailing, and more specifically racing, there are ample opportunities to join one of our racing fleets, or to crew on one of the boats in those fleets. The women's fleet races on Mondays, small boats race on Tuesdays. Big boats race on Wednesdays and Saturdays. And the double handed fleet races on Fridays.
You can learn more about the various racing fleets by clicking here. And the racing schedule (for all fleets) is available here.

In addition, our power boaters host a number of events, usually on Thursdays as well as many weekends.
