Happy almost summer! We know this has been an anxious and difficult spring for many families. We hope we can provide a small dose of light-hearted moments for you this summer -- as safely as possible. This will require everyone’s cooperation with our guidelines. Below are important details about our operating plan for Summer 2020:
Directory and Boutique:
Boat availability and classes:
-
We are able to get boats on the water this summer and provide recreation, with modifications. We ask that everyone works together with us to follow the State of MA and local guidelines, out of respect for each other, our staff and students, and our island community
-
Some important items of note:
-
-
There will be no communal life jackets this summer. To participate, you must bring your own PFD
-
The number of boats on the water may be limited due to a rotating maintenance schedule (N10s) or the need for creating safe distances for rigging (floats)
-
There will be no walk-up boat borrowing, due to required cleaning protocols
-
When social distancing cannot be maintained, face masks must be worn on CYC property
-
In Phase 1, there will be no traditional A, B, or C group. We will offer structured boat borrowing only. Anyone with an active Membership and signed waiver (online) may participate.
-
-
Family members/cohabiting family only, allowed together in boats
-
Staff will accompany the fleet in crash boats to offer support, and maybe some fun structured activities
