Club Cruising
Every year, our MYC Cruise Committee schedules monthly - year-round - seasonal cruise-outs where members enjoy their boats and cruise together (or encouraged to 'drive' aka 'black-top' if cannot boat) to other Bay & Delta Yacht Clubs and Marinas. See this season's Cruise-Out line-up below for this year's fun cruising destinations. Register online via Club Calendar to secure your spot by boat. ' Blacktoppers' (drivers) should contact the Cruise Hosts/Leaders for weekend signups and arrangements. Also find our visiting Yacht Clubs' popular Cruise-In schedule on the calendar for other neighboring yachtsmen of the Bay Area who love to visit our harbor during the same cruising season. Be sure to offer a warm MYC Welcome!

MYC Cruising Points
What is that handsome swallow-tailed pennant that you are flying?
The blue and gold pennant with the blue stars is our official cruising flag, designed by longtime member Bob Jenson and authorized by the Board of Directors in 1984. It may be flown by any Member who participates in a Club Cruise.
Download the Cruising Program with all the details on how to get started and the current point totals. After you have completed one cruise, go to the office and pick-up a pennant (there is a small charge). After four cruises you can pick up a star. Remember to keep your cruise log up to date with each cruise and get it validated at the end of the year with either the Cruise Director or the Cruise Chairman.
Newer members may wonder as to how others have accumulated dozens of points. The answer is longevity and blue water cruises that cover thousands of miles and months of living aboard. “Parking” your boat in a Delta marina for the summer does not qualify one for these extra points. For those over-achievers who wish to lead in number of points earned, take comfort knowing that when another member sails to that big Yacht Club in the sky, the name is then stricken from the rolls and you will move up a step.
Bon Voyage!
