We are an organization devoted to having fun on the water with friends. We race sailboats, cruise and party. What's not to like? There aren't any stuffed shirts in our club; any of our members will help you out if you need a hand dropping a mast or installing a fitting.

Joining OPCYC

Although most of our members are active or retired military, you don't have to be military to join. The cost membership in OPCYC is a whopping $40/year ($60 your first year includes an OPCYC Burgee), because all our work is done by volunteers.

Adding Pictures

Folks -

The link for viewing members' pictures (click on Gallery on the left) is working well. But adding the pictures using that link seems to be broken. I'm trying to figure out what happened. In the meantime, please use your same OPCYC login information on this page instead:

http://opcyc.org/gallery/main.php

There you'll be able to create albums and upload your pictures. And what you add there will be visible for everyone here.

Murphy Racing Seminar 2010 - Rules Around the Race Course

2010-02-20 09:00
America/New York

If you are new to racing or just want to bone up on how the various rules apply around the race course, join John McCarthy at this informative seminar. The seminar will be a tour of the course, looking at key rules concepts that come up along the way. You do not need to bring your rule book (RRS), since we'll be talking concepts, not rule numbers! MURPHY 2010 will be an entertaining and informative examination of how the rules apply at key points during the race. We'll have a good time and understand why knowing the rule concepts make you a better racer.

PMU: Boat Electrical Systems

2010-02-06 09:00
America/New York

This class will have a special emphasis on AC shore power and galvanic corrosion.

PMU: Outboards, AIS & DSC

2010-01-30 09:00
America/New York

We’ll start with Andy Gurkin from Dandy Haven Marina talking about outboards and other gasoline boat engines. Andy is a genuine expert with lots of experience on small and large outboards as well as large inboard gasoline engines. Andy’s the guy who has kept my 8 HP Mercury going for years. He’ll cover operator-level maintenance as well as lots of information about Ethanol and what it means for any marine gasoline engine. This is the first class on outboards we’ve had in four years, so if you have an outboard or an inboard-outboard or a venerable Atomic Four, this one’s for you.

Wanted - A Board Member for Publicity

The Old Point Comfort Yacht Club is one of the most active in the country with outstanding racing, cruising, training and social programs. We offer activities for every boater’s interest throughout the year. What we don’t have is a good way to publicize to the general public these activities to encourage others to participate in events or to join OPCYC as a member.
