Greetings members and visitorsto PYC's website and to the wonderful world of dinghy sailing, shell rowing and all things outdoors on the Connecticut River in Essex, CT. PYC is a seasonal yacht clubbeginning its "commissioned" year in May and ending in October. The club offers its members access to a special spot on the river across from Joshua's Rock, Brockway Island, Hamburg Cove and Selden Creek.
Our sailing venueis a shallow (2'-4' at low tide), tidal basin about 10 miles up river from Long Island Sound, a great venue for dinghy sailors of all levels. PYC's clubhouse sits on the western shore of the basin between Essex and Deep River. The channel for regular boat traffic on the Connecticut River runs about a quarter mile away along the eastern shore.

Report
Easily one of the worst Yacht Clubs I have ever had to be subjected to. I had to attend due to a school sailing team race (was a visitor), most of the equipment was beyond 20 years old and in addition most of the facility, is beyond repair. My suggestion. Bulldoze the whole place and rebuild it. Why anyone would ever want to be a member here is beyond me.
