Come One, Come All to the Grand Work Party!
The major grounds conversion and fall cleaning is scheduled for Sunday, September 26th at 8:30 a.m. Please meet under the tent for instructions.
The overdue resurfacing of the north side is scheduled to begin on Monday, September 27. This work includes grinding down and replacing the existing asphalt, restriping the lot lines, and allowing time to cure prior to beginning haul-out on October 2.
In order to complete this work we will have a work party to take down the tent and prep the grounds. Dry Sail residents will need to have watercraft removed from the grounds by Friday, September 24.
Of course none of this can happen without your help. This is a great opportunity for new members to complete a few hours toward their service requirements. Chef Jay will be providing lunch for all who participate.
A huge part of the SSYC experience is our busy calendar of social events. The Entertainment Committee plans and hosts a variety of small and large events throughout the year.
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.
Power boats are an important part of the SSYC Fleet. Members own and operate many types of vessels including cruisers, antique boats, pontoons and motorized dinghies. If you have a boat with a motor, you will find yourself at home among our power fleet.
In addition, our power boaters host a number of events, usually on Thursdays as well as many weekends.

SSYC offers sailing lessons and a year-round program for children ages 8 - 18. We offer a six-week series of lessons in Opti's, 420's and Lasers. Our juniors attend a number of regattas throughout the summer, and host one of thelargest regattas on Lake Michigan, the Kaszube Cup.
