MYC is an all-volunteer organization that has become a landmark for yacht racing in Massachusetts, as well as the Northeastern region of the US. Whether you are brand new to sailing or have extensive experience, MYC offers organized competition for all ages. We have hosted national sailing competitions as well as local and regional regattas. We hold races from May to October for all sailboat classes including juniors. For details see our Events Calendar.

2024 MYC 75th Annual Regatta - FS NERD - DS Regional

Sunday, August 18, 2024

We held the 2024 75th Anniversary Regatta for Big Boats, which was also the Flying Scot NERD and the Day Sailer Regional Regatta. Of course no event can heappen without all the prework, and we thank Margy and Harvey Davidson for helping get the club ready and Margy for guiding the folks with meal duty. We had a welcome party on Friday night, hossted by Phyllis and Curt Braverman, Breakfast on Saturday was hosted by Jay McNeff, with help from Mike Denekamo. Jay also hosted lunch with help from Roberta Engel. After racing was our cocktail party, hosted by Donna and Dave Rousseau. Then Roche Brothers delivered our lobster/chicken/Steak/pasta primavera dinner and lots of great sides, hosted by Diane Kampf, Susan Peck and Jeff Sprung. Our famous ice cream sundae bar did not disappoint! Sunday breakfast was hosted by Thomas Shea and Bar Liverant, and lucnh was hosted by Greg Eisenhauer. No one went away hungry, that;s for sure! 

PRO Kevin Buruchian and his Race Committee did a great job managing races in difficult conditions, sonetimes light and disappearing wind. But they managed to get us 5 races on Saturday. We went back out on Sunday and tried to get in a race or two. The Flying Scots were all TLE, so we didn;t get a race, but the Day Sailers managed to get through 1 race without being TLE. Thanks to our on the water crew - Kevin Buruchian, Brian Geoghagen, Aaron MacQueen, Jeff Sprung, Chris Sloan, Skip Russell, Dennis Dubuc and Jay McNeff.

It takes a village to host one of these events, and as you can see, we have a village. Hope eveyone had a great time.
