Breakwater YC has been busy complying with its purpose, "to sponsor sailboat racing and sailing in and about the waters of Sag Harbor, to foster interest in sailboat racing and sailing in people of all ages and to interact with the community."

Free member checkouts for the boat use program will be available on Saturdays July 2, 9 and 16, from 9 to 12, after these dates checkouts will be by appointment only at a cost of $50.00. The High School Sailing program has expanded this year, it's second, to include middle school students. BYC, for the fourth time, hosted the Long Island J80 Championship, June 4-5. 15 boats were on the start line. BYC hosted a US Sailing Level One Instructor course along with a CPR class. The Summer Youth sailing program is in its second week. This is the 16th year BYC has provided this service to the community as well as providing 60 plus scholarships to local area youth. BYC will hold two sessions (four consecutive weeks each) of Adult Sailing classes using the club's two Catalina 22s. The July session is on Thursday evenings and a Saturday session begins July 30th. Breakwater members and their guests are invited to attend the after Wednesday Night Racing parties at the clubhouse. This Wednesday's (June 29) party is sponsored by WHITE LIGHTNING, JEZEBEL and HAZE. A signup sheet for party sponsorship is posted on the bulletin board in the clubhouse. Contributions are requested of all attendees. A collection jar will be out on the buffet table. These contributions will be used to stock the clubhouse with snacks, beverages, ice, and paper goods. If sufficient contributions are made light fare can be offered on the Wednesday nights that are not sponsored by the generosity of the racing boat owners. So if you want to hang out with a bunch of sailors, come join the fun. A note to members: Please have your guests sign into the guest log, which will be located on the table by the Southwest door.
