BoatUS

Forked Creek Yacht Club has become a BoatUS cooperating group. As a cooperating member our club members are entitled to a 10% discount on their annual membership cost for towing services (either new or renewal). Use group code# GA85230Y.

Spring Operations

Water is turned back on (as of March 14) and the porta-potty is expected to return prior to Apr 1.

Dock Maintenance

Our first round of dock maintenance has been completed the end of last year. We added a water resistant sealant to the boards to help prolong their life.

Hight Speed Internet

Verizon now provides a synchronous 500 download/upload mb/sec service and we have added an additional access point. The code for all FCYC access points will remain the same. Use the 5G connections if you need higher speed.

Yachting Club of America

We are delighted to inform you that our club has joined the Yachting Club of America. The Yachting Club of America was founded in 1963 to serve the advancement of yachting. The club consists of over 700 YCA registered Yacht & Sailing Clubs throughout America. Membership in this club affords our members reciprocity privileges to participating clubs throughout the country. We are now listed in the club registry which can be viewed by you and other clubs that you may decide to visit.

To facilitate your ability to visit other clubs we will be providing FCYC membership cards that you will need to present at the reciprocal club.

We are also compelled to provide guidelines for this benefit.

Guidelines

  • The use of this card is a privilege to each slip holder. The club board reserves the right to discontinue your privileges should we receive any negative feedback from another club you have visited.

  • You are responsible for accessing the reciprocal directory and determining which clubs are open to your visit and any specific restrictions of that club. We encourage you to contact any club before your visit to obtain any information needed.

  • Please keep in mind that you are a representative of FCYC and you are expected to conduct yourself in an appropriate manner.

  • Slip holders are responsible for all guests accompanying you to another club.

  • Please keep in mind that some clubs may have dress code requirements and certain restrictions regarding when you are permitted to visit. You may find it useful to visit the other club’s website for additional information regarding visitors.

  • Some Maryland clubs do have restrictions on the number of times you can visit their club each year.

NOTE: Our YCA reciprocal agreement does not work with the Annapolis Yacht Club.
