7 Reasons to Join CYC
Wednesday Night Racing
Our Signature Series. Boats of all sizes compete throughout the season in the challenging Boston Inner Harbor. Awards for each class at season's end.
Great Weekend Races
Our Memorial Regatta, Harbor Hop, and Boston Light races are some of the best events on the Mass Bay Racing Calendar.
60+ Yacht Clubs
All CYC Members are also MBYCA Members, giving you access to a wide network of over 60 area yacht clubs and events across the region.
Social Events
From post-race parties and flotillas to winter socials and the annual awards brunch — there is certainly something for everyone.
Education
Like everything at CYC, even our Education is fun. Learn the secrets tactics at our Harbor Hacks, sailing rules at our Rules Refresher, and how to sail safely and effectively with just one or two people. CYC strives to make sailing accessible to all levels of sailors.
Charity
We partner closely with Courageous Sailing — getting kids on the water is something every sailor can get behind, and no one does it better than Courageous!
Culture
Our members are known all over New England not only for the quality of their racing but also the quality of their character. We have a culture of competitiveness and Corinthian Spirit that is always on display — yet we don't take ourselves too seriously. Having fun is always the primary goal and remember: "Win or lose, we still booze."
Value We Bring to Our Members
Community
Joining Constitution Yacht Club means you are part of a group of people that embody similar values and interests that reaches far beyond sailing and our love for the water. Members regularly do business with each other, become life-long friends, and support each other.
Problems Solved
Boat owners often need crew, and prefer if they know them; crew members need boats to sail on. Need a mechanic? Where to buy a sail? Have an insurance question? We provide the tools, resources and environment to help solve your boat problems (because we all know, they never stop)
Growth & Development
Every sailor learns that there is always more to learn. Whether you're a seasoned offshore racer or picking up a tiller for the first time, CYC has created clear paths for continued growth and development. Our Wednesday Night series challenges the most expierienced boats with wind whipping around buildings, or comming off of airplanes. Our Rookie Class and Women at the Helm create the environment for everyone to start.
Identity
We give all of our new members a burgee very intentionally: because it means something to other sailors. When you get to say "I am a member of Constitution Yacht Club" that comes with immediate respect and recognition.
Core Values
1
Have Fun
If it is fun, consider it done. Ensuring our memebers enjoy our races and events is the guiding principal of every decision we make.
2
Be Competitive
We are racing club and we cultivate a culture where we are all members are encouraged to push themselves and each other to improve. We accomplish this by hosting post-race debriefs to share our success and failures and from getting out there and getting experience.
3
Good Sportsmanship
The Corinthian Spirit is where fun and competitiveness meet. It is every sailor's honor code. At end of the day, the real competition is every sailor versus the rath of Mother Nature, and it is our moral obligation to set the standard and care for others.
Sail Fast.
