⛵️ Sharpen Your Skills This Summer! ⛵️

The Ocean City Yacht Club Sailing Foundation is excited to once again host our Racing Tactics Clinic with Brian Huntsman on Friday June 26, 2026!

Last year, local sailors gained valuable racing knowledge, improved their boat handling, learned strategic decision-making on the racecourse, and built confidence that carried into the summer racing season. Whether you’re looking to fine-tune your starts, improve mark roundings, or better understand race tactics, this clinic offers an incredible opportunity to learn from one of the sport’s most experienced instructors.

Brian Huntsman, a former member of the U.S. Sailing Team and a highly respected coach with more than 30 years of teaching experience, will share the skills and techniques that help sailors compete at a higher level.

Open to rising 8th–12th grade sailors in ILCA, Sunfish, and C420 classes.

⚓️ Space is limited, so register early!
⚓️ Bring your boat and be ready for a full day of learning both on and off the water.
⚓️ Details and registration available at MAYRASAILING.ORG

Don’t miss this opportunity to take your racing to the next level! 🌊⛵️

☔️Rain couldn’t dampen the spirit of Opening Day at the Ocean City Yacht Club as we proudly launched our 125th season! ⚓️🇺🇸

From the traditional flag raising ceremony and cannon salutes to the beautiful National Anthem performed by Hadly Patterson the evening honored the rich history and traditions that make OCYC so special. We were honored to welcome Mayor Jay Gillian, representatives from the United States Coast Guard, city officials, community leaders, members, as we officially cut the ribbon to declared the club open for the 125th season.

In a special moment of recognition as all Past Commodores were introduced, celebrating their leadership and lasting contributions to OCYC. PC Tom Subranni then offered a beautiful blessing to open the season.

A heartfelt remembrance of members we lost this past year was led by Eleanor Parker. This was followed by a moment of silence with Tim Boyle ringing the bell eight times in honor of the traditional “eight bell” tribute.

Members also enjoyed gathering in the newly refreshed Commodores Lounge. A beautiful new space to relax and reconnect for the summer season. A special thank you to Steve Becotte for the stunning handcrafted sign created especially for the new Commodores Lounge.

The celebration continued with delicious food prepared by Nobil by the Bay and great music by Plaid Salmon. It was great reconnecting and dancing after a long cold winter. 🌊☀️

Here’s to an unforgettable summer ahead at the Ocean City Yacht Club 125 years strong.🇺🇸⚓️
