Current Members

Want to participate but don't have a sailboat? The Nevada Yacht Club will attempt to match "non-crew members" with Skippers who can accommodate extra crew. Non-crew members will be placed on a waitlist. Preference will be given to new NYC members. Confirmation of your spot on a boat will be emailed to you a few days prior to the event. The Nevada Yacht Club will attempt to accommodate all participation requests, however, the number of available non-crew member spots is based on the number of spots offered by participating skippers.

B.Y.O.B.

This is a "bring-your-own-beverage" event. If you choose to drink an alcoholic beverage, please do so responsibly. Each Skipper has the final say in what happens on their vessel. Please be respectful.

Skippers

Skippers, please see to separate skippers' registration on the Skipper Content page. If you do not have access to the Skipper Content page, please email info@nevadayachtclub.org.
