Bayview Hitchhiker Thursday’s        

Bayview has worked hard trying to get Hitchhiking Thursdays in 2020 going. The Covid-19 pandemic and government restrictions coupled with the Clubhouse remodel have forced us to make the difficult decision to cancel the program this year. The safety of our members and guests is our top priority. We look forward to hosting you next 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!
