• Flag Etiquette - Where do we fly what?  This article in SailNet can help sort it all out.

  • and two nearly identical Quick-Stop Procedure descriptions from the US Sailing ISAF Special Regulations - Appendix D  and from the RORC.

The SBCC exists to provide fun and camaraderie for its members and to promote all aspects of sailing. Between early May and the end of October, the Club conducts over 60 races on Saturdays, Sundays, and Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Course lengths vary from 4 to 30 miles. The SBCC also hosts weekend rendezvous in various harbors around the bay from Amityville to Bellport. All members and their guests are invited to raft up or to anchor off and dink over to the party. You can find the SBCC somewhere on the bay every weekend form May to the end of October.

Several SBCC co-ordinated cruises are conducted each year. These cruises traditionally include a one-week cruise either confined to the Bay or perhaps extending to Peconic or Gardiners Bay, a two-week cruise which might include Block Island and Mystic Seaport, and more ambitious cruises to such areas as Cape Cod, Narragansett, Buzzards Bay, or the Chesapeake Bay.

A number of shore-based parties and events are also held each year. Events include Spring & Fall Cocktail parties, Commissioning Day, Dinner meetings, and our infamous Great River Blast! Lectures on yacht racing, safety at sea, first aid procedures, cruising issues, and similar subjects are also provided from time to time.

If all of this sounds appealing to you, and you would like to know more about the South Bay Cruising Club, please contact one of the officers listed in blue in the Officers& Committees section via EMail. We look forward to having you join the fun and camaraderie under the "green & white".
