Cruising with PCYC

Our cruising program is open to everyone at PCYC, whether you’re a racer, taking a weekend off from racing, or an avid cruiser. Be it by sailboat or powerboat, we invite you to join us on our many social cruising events throughout the year.  We run year round, hosting social “land” cruises during the time our boats are resting in their cradles over the winter.  During the summer, working with affiliated yacht clubs to leverage your reciprocal rights as well as a few chosen marinas, your Cruising Committee organizes a number of preferred destinations that include weekend, Holiday long weekend, and mid week destinations. Unlike our Racing program that has virtually unlimited capacity to welcome new participants, our cruising program must limit itself to the capacity constraints of each cruising destination. Don’t miss out, be sure visit this web site often and sign up for the next scheduled cruise early as they tend to fill up fast. Follow the Cruising link to learn more about cruising with PCYC as well as our planned destinations for the year.

The Cruising venue is organized and hosted by the Cruising Committee, Co-Chaired by Carol and Helmut Trupke.  Carol & Helmut can be reached at cruising@pcyc.net
