We are an all-volunteer organization, so the collective membership shares in and is ultimately responsible for the "care and feeding" of our clubhouse and grounds. When you and your family are making use of the club, treat it as if it were your own home.

In season, our property is open from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. Clubhouse access is available whenever a steward is on duty, which is usually on weekends April through June, and in September. In July and August, the clubhouse is open 7 days a week. Remember that clubhouse use by regular members for the purpose of small gatherings must first be cleared through the House & Grounds committee to ensure there are no conflicts.

Off season, the facility is closed to members use except for authorized club events.

Purpose, as stated in Article II of our By-Laws, the objective of BSYC "shall be to establish a family program in yachting and to provide adequate facilities for the fuller enjoyment of the sport." To accomplish this objective, we have an active and dynamic Sailing Instruction Program for both children and adults. The Sailing Instruction Committee controls and manages the certified sailing instructions. (Paid instructor, as well as other employees at BSYC, may not be the children or next of kin of club members.)

Our sailing program ranks amongst the best in the Bay, and evolves as the needs of the membership change. Therefore, if you have any questions, it is important that you contact the Sailing Instruction Committee Chair immediately. We believe the Sailing Program must be educational, safe, fun and worthwhile for all concerned.The Sailing Instruction Program is season-long and fully integrated with the activities of the Race Committee and the Bay Shore Junior Yacht Club.
