Respecting the Fleet: Raft-Up Etiquette
Our generous members invest a lot of love (and treasure) into keeping their vessels shipshape.
Let’s show them some proper maritime respect:
-
Footwear: Rubber-soled shoes and white soles are mandatory.....No exceptions!!
-
Mind Your Step: Watch your footing and tread lightly when transferring from boat to boat.
-
No Stowaways: Please do not invite anyone onto a vessel who isn't officially registered for the event.
-
Support Your Captain: A good crew always backs their skipper! Lend a hand with whatever the captain needs during the day, and pitch in to help clean up the decks before we head home.
Calling All Skippers!
Are you planning to bring your own boat to the raft-up?
Can you take some passengers!
We need you!
It is wonderful when members offer their vessels for club events. If you can help out, please let the Cruise Committee know how many passengers your boat can safely accommodate so we can plan the fleet layout.
Let’s make some waves, enjoy some incredible music, eat some delicious food, sip some wine and show everyone how we party at the friendliest club in the harbor with your SSYC family!
The Cruise Committee - Martha, Clive, Dean, Greg & Julie
