The horrific fire that destroyed Mattapoisett Boatyard last August also had a huge impact on the MYC. Not only our Clubhouse, but all its contents are gone. Years of history pictured on the walls, trophies won by MYC racers, Yacht Club pennants and trophies from visiting Clubs and our regional and national races. All lost.
On the practical side, we lost all the things we used every week during the summer at the Club to make it run, racing supplies and party supplies.
Under the leadership of Commodore Rich Gleason and the MYC Advisory Board, we are planning this summer’s racing, cruising, and social events. Our website,www.mattapoisettyc.org will soon be up to date with all the new details.
Your help is needed. We ask our MYC family, new and old, to get involved. Membership is paramount to our success whether you own a boat or not. Join MYC and share in the rebuilding of one of the oldest yacht clubs around. Make it Fun.
Soon we will be putting together a list of “needs,” but we all know it’s participation that will bring us back better and stronger. Please join. Your membership support early in the rebuilding is most important now.
