75 Years GENESEE YACHT CLUB 1934-2009

Welcome

GYC is now 75 years old!

GYC BurgeeYou may have noticed that the banner at the top of our website has changed. It now reflects a little of the old, and a little of the new. These pictures and much more are offered in the 75th Anniversary History book now available at our Ships' Store.  Coming soon will be a CD with a slideshow of all of the images used in the book, as well as a recording of the wonderful skit performed at the 75th Anniversary party.

A little more information

The Genesee Yacht Club (GYC) was established to encourage yachting and sailing, to further the arts and sciences pertaining to seamanship, piloting, and navigation, and to provide and maintain suitable clubhouse and dockage facilities for use of the members by cooperative effort at minimum expense.

Since 1934 our members have contributed their time and talents to the construction and maintenance of our facilities, and the organization of our race programs, social events and every other aspect of the club. Nothing happens without it! Working and socializing with other members builds friendships and instills satisfaction in our accomplishments while keeping our costs under control.

U.S. Coast Guard Advance Notice
Lake Ontario, Rochester Harbor
Rochester Harbor Light (LLNR 2320) change the color of the light from white to red.

The change would make the entrance to the channel lateral. The red light would be an LED lantern, brighter and will stand out against the severe background lighting.

Safety Reminder
Children under six years and those between six and ten unaccompanied by a parent shall at all times wear a Coast Guard approved Personal Flotation Device while on Club docks or within ten feet of the water surrounding club property. (Club Bylaws, Article V, paragraph A.)
