Yacht Club Swag!

Calling all Members & Associates

Are you creative, with an eye for design? Maybe you are a die hard GYC fan? Or maybe, just maybe you have some old GYC hats and memorabilia tucked away?!

We are looking for a few Members to help design a line of GYC “Swag.” The process will include everything from types of products we brand, the designs, and if I am lucky some potential modelling opportunities for the website.

If you are interested in this once in a Membership opportunity, meet us at the Clubhouse (outback weather dependent) Saturday June 21st @ 1pm. Bring your ideas, your old swag, and a whatever creativity you may possess!

Dog Days of Summer

Dog Days of Summer

This spring was exceptionally cold, fishing in a snow suit was not what I was hoping for, but we were on the water and sometimes that all you can ask for. Looking forward to a great season for 2025, so here are some vanity shots of my dogs enjoying the boat!

Get your sunscreen and lifejackets at the ready, the water will be warm soon and the new and improved swim dock will be calling your name!

New GYC Policy – Named Insurance Certificates

New Policy – Named Insurance Certificates
The GYC is requiring that it be listed as a 3rd party certificate holder on all insurance policies for vessels store or operated on GYC property.
This change serves two purposes; firstly that the GYC be notified of any changes or cancellations to your policy so that we may request updated information for our records in the event of a change or cancellation, and secondly it would automate the renewal process so that your insurance company or broker would send the renewals directly to the GYC each year. This would eliminate the need for members to self submit insurance, and reduce any delays in obtaining insurance documents.


How do you obtain a named certificate?
Simple! Send a request to your insurance company or broker requesting a named certificate holder for the GYC. Provide the GYC address and email contact below for the certificate and have your insurance provider email a copy directly to the GYC.
