OPCYC'S Pointers Operations Guide was last fully reviewed and republished in 2021, received April 14, 2022 from Past Commodore JD Hay, with a few minor changes since then. It begins with an INTRODUCTION as follows:

The Pointer Operating Guide (POG) provides a general operating guidance for the Old Point Comfort Yacht Club (OPCYC). the POG is not law, a substitute for common sense, or even doctrine. Rather, it represents a simple compendium of some of the operative ways our club does business at this point in time and will certainly mature over time. Changes and additions to the POG are welcome and expected.

The POG is divided into eight parts, which state the mission of the club, and the manner in which the officers plan, review, execute, measure and pay for the on-water and social events.
