COVID-19 PANDEMIC UPDATE 

CYC is open to members for the 2020 season under the guidance of the Club’s Board of Directors and in compliance with Public Health directions. In the words of Health PEI, “… as we move cautiously yet optimistically forward, it is important to understand that this phased approach does not mean ‘business as usual’.” Observe Public Health guidance to protect yourself and others.
  • The parking lot and premises are open to members, their guests and Salt & Sol patrons only

CHARLOTTETOWN YACHT CLUB TURNS 100 IN 2022!

In 2022, CYC will be celebrating a most important milestone – its 100 year anniversary!  The Board of Directors welcomes input on events to celebrate this important occasion. Please send ideas to manager@cyc.pe.ca.
CPR/AED TRAINING FOR CYC MEMBERS

Last year CYC purchased an AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) for the club building. An AED is used in rescuing a person who is in cardiac arrest. The device can be used by people of all ages with no previous training. It provides clear instructions and makes all the decisions about the treatment it can deliver. The device is on the wall just inside the main door.
It is best to learn AED along with CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). CYC will sponsor a limited number of members to take a Level A CPR/AED course. The course teaches basic CPR/AED to rescue people ages 8 and older. A St. John Ambulance instructor will deliver the 3.5 hour course in the Great Hall at the Yacht Club. Each course can take 10 persons. If there is enough interest, we can put on additional courses. 

We need to find out how many members are interested before we pick dates. If you are a Yacht Club member, contact either Steven Manuel, Jim Thompson or Andrew MacFarlane. Let us know which days of the week and times of day you prefer. Registrations will be taken first-come-first-served.
