| 75 Years | GENESEE YACHT CLUB | 1934-2009 |
Welcome
GYC is now 75 years old!
You
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.
