This is your year!

Start a Wednesday Night Race tradition.


On March 30th, from 2 to 4:00 hear what Wednesday Night Racing is about and how to get started. We would love to see some additional boat owners join us. It took a little encouragement for most of us to get started. But once we did, we found it worthwhile to carve out time in the middle of the week to prioritize this rewarding activity.

This is also for those of you who like to crew and strategize. You are vital to Wednesday Night Racing too. No experience necessary, just an eagerness to learn and continually improve.

Membership Cards

PPYC membership cards have gone electronic! Now you can load them to your phone with your other electronic cards. If you are old school like me, you can print them off and tuck them into your wallet. Or, sign into the website and just admire it any time you are land bound and longing for a sail.
If you travel, your card will get you in the door at many sailing clubs. At the very least, use it as a conversation starter to get a crew position while you are visiting some far away sailing venue.
 
To get your membership card:

1.      Log onto the PPYC Home page

2.      After you log in, click your name in the top right corner of the website. Then select "Profile".
