Reciprocity

CYC is grateful for the warm welcome our members and cruising sailors receive at other yacht clubs and is pleased to offer reciprocal privileges as described here.

Requirements

CYC offers reciprocal privileges to members of clubs listed in the most recent Register of Yachting Clubs of America.

Members from clubs located within thirty statute miles of CYC may use the Club once a month. Members of clubs further than thirty statute miles from CYC may use the Club as often as they wish as long as use is not disproportionate to privileges offered to CYC members at their home club.

Reciprocal guests are asked to contact CYC in advance to arrange their visit, and must present either their current club membership card or a letter of introduction from their club.

Guests are entitled to use the CYC Clubhouse and waterfront, including dining, bar, shower facilities, transient moorings (if available) and launch service. We strongly encourage guests to contact the CYC office in advance to coordinate their visit. We regret that our tennis and paddle tennis facilities receive so much use that we are not able to make them available for reciprocal privileges.

Club-sponsored cruises from other yacht clubs are welcome to contact the CYC General Manager to arrange visits. The General Manager has discretion to accommodate special requests and to determine whether particular Club events should be limited to CYC members and their guests.

Rules and Regulations

Guests are required to comply with all club rules and regulations, including club protocol on appropriate attire and the use of cell phones.

Cell Phones: Talking on cell phones is prohibited in the Clubhouse and on the Clubhouse deck. Please silent all electronic devices.

Dress Code
Members and guests are expected to dress in a way that is respectful of the Club and its traditions.

• During the day, sporty/casual attire is allowed everywhere on Club property.
• After 6:00 PM members and guests must be neatly dressed and look presentable
• Hats must be removed when dining indoors
• At no time are bathing suits, bare feet, or wet clothing allowed inside the Clubhouse or on the deck
• Junior members and guests are expected to abide by the same dress code standards as adults

Transient Moorings

CYC has several moorings available for use by guests. Please contact the CYC office or launch driver for availability. The launch may be hailed on VHF CH. 72 during its hours of operation, which vary during the season. Please see the launch schedule HERE. Moorings are removed after Columbus Day.

Transient Mooring Policy

The Club's transient moorings are available only to CYC members, guests of CYC members and members of other yacht clubs with whom CYC has reciprocity only. In general, the maximum length of stay on a transient mooring will be one week, however the Commodore may make exceptions to this limit on a case by case basis. Reservations are required by calling (401) 423-1424.

A map of the area may be found HERE.

Guest showers are located in the rear of the carriage house, and dining is available through the club dining room. Lunch is served daily in season. Dinner is served Tuesday-Sunday in season. For information on current dining room offerings or to make dinner reservations, call (401) 423-1424 ext. 207. When making a reservation, include your name, yacht club and member number along with your party total. CYC accepts credit cards.

Ice is available at $2.00/bag for cubes and $3.50 for blocks in the enclosure behind the kitchen. Please pay in the office during regular business hours, the bar tender if available, or the launch driver before departing.

The launch monitors VHF channel 72. Launch schedule is HERE. Contact the office to make a reservation or inquiry (401) 423-1424 or email [email protected].
