Yacht Hospitality - "A Time Honored Tradition..." Yacht owners welcome members and friends aboard their vessels after the Opening Day Ceremony for camaraderie and good cheer. SDYC will provide Hospitality bags with snacks and beverages to refresh your guests. All yachts entered in Hospitality will receive a penant indicating their participation. Your vessel name, boat bio and location will be listed in the Opening Day program. lf you do not have a slip at the Club and would like to participate in Hospitality, call the Dockmaster at 619-758-6308 or dockmaster@sdyc.org for a temporary slip.
Best Dressed Dock Competition
SDYC yacht owners are requested to dress ship for Opening Day. To qualify, each sailboat will display nautical signal flags the entire length of the fore and aft stays. Power boats will display flags from stem to stern. If desired, boat owners may properly display the Ensign (Flag of the United States) and the SDYC burgee, but this will not be part of the scoring. Properly Dressed Yachts on each dock will be counted at 9:00 AM Sunday morning. The coveted "Best Dressed Dock" award will be announced during the ceremony. The winning Dock(s) will receive a SDYC Dock Cart loaded with non-alcoholic hydration.
