YRUSC CATALINA CRUISE
The YRUSC Catalina Cruise is held annually in July and combines
business (a little) with pleasure (a lot). It offers the opportunity
for flag officers of member clubs to get to know each other better
than they ever can at opening days and other meetings.
The cruise starts on a Wednesday at the Isthmus, moves to Emerald Cove
on Thursday and to DRYC’s Facility in
Cat Harbor on Friday. Each year there is a different theme around
which menus and skits are planned. The YRUSC Staff Commodores cook
a pancake breakfast on Saturday morning to prepare the cruisers for
an unusual race event on Saturday afternoon. A short general meeting
is held on Saturday evening during the festivities. Cruisers head
for home or other island sites on Sunday.
The members of YRUSC Member Clubs are eligible. Watch this site for
more details.
