Bayview Hitchhiker Thursday’s
We look forward to hosting you in the 2021 sailing season!

- Hitchhiker Thursdays is a program to welcome new people interested in sailing and get existing sailors out on the water.
- Thursday races, which happen right in front of BYC, are a perfect opportunity to test the waters of our sport or try racing on a different kind of boat.
- The evening will start with a gathering at Jerome’s on the Dock between 6 and 6:30PM. This area is attached to the bath house down past most of the docks (on the left when coming in).
- Hitchhiking participation is limited for each race/night. Hitchhikers must be over 15 and RSVP through Eventbrite registration online to participate. Preference is given to first time hitchhikers.
- Skippers, boat owners, and/or crew of boats racing will come down and introduce themselves or you will be escorted to a participating sailboat by a Hitchhiker/Membership Volunteer (Bright Green Shirts).
- Timing depends on Mother Nature but plan to be on the water for about an hour. The racing starts around 7PM. Boats leave their wells around 6:45.
- Spread the word!! Thursday’s races are a GREAT time and an awesome introduction to what Bayview Yacht Club has to offer!
