Hudson River Boat & Yacht Club Association (HRBYCA)

The Hudson River Boat & Yacht Club Association, Inc. (HRBYCA) was established in April 1975 and incorporated in the State of New York on March 16, 1999.

It was organized as an advocate for the more than 5,000 boaters of our 33 member clubs and for the purpose of:

• Maintaining a constant study of all things pertinent to the boating lifestyle, other recreational use of the Hudson River and improving conditions thereon;
• Promoting increased inter-club activity among various clubs on the Hudson River;
• Encouraging and furthering education relative to boating, navigation and boater safety;
• Cooperating with all government agencies concerned with the management and regulation of the Hudson River;
• And with boating matters in general.

Reciprocation Policy between MHCYC & HRBYCA.

Please remember reciprocation is offered as a courtesy, not all clubs may have the facilities or available dock space to accept your vessel. All attempts will be made to provide Members one complimentary overnight stay at a participating Member Club.

Contact the respective club you wish to reciprocate with to ensure they can/will provide dockage within the reciprocal program.

Document the advance notice with a reservation and if requested, provide a current membership card upon arrival.

In a move recognizing local history, the Cornwall Yacht Club has donated a sign to the Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson which highlights the Hudson River wreck of the Armistead, a ship built during WWI. The matter was discussed at last week’s Village Board meeting.

The vessel was part of a massive fleet of transatlantic ships required to move U.S. troops and supplies to Europe while facing attacks from German submarines. The Armistead was launched in 1919 and taken out of service in 1955 where it was intentionally grounded three years later.

The wood of the ship has since rotted away, but the exoskeleton sits at the bottom of the Hudson River off the coast of Donahue Memorial Park.

The village’s historian suggested posting the steel-framed sign somewhere near the south side of the dock, before the beach. Trustee Bill Braine suggested putting the sign on Grandview Avenue because the remains of the ship are visible from that vantage point. After further investigation, later in the week, Mayor James Gagliano said it will be mounted as part of the Dock Hill Road Connector Trail that fuses Donahue Memorial Park and Donahue Farm with Hudson St. The area will include an unobstructed view of where the ship wrecked.

Gagliano said the village will need to invest in some sort of covering to protect the sign, or it was suggested it could be a project for a future Eagle Scout.

140th shattemuc regatta recap.

Shattemuc Yacht Club put on their 140 th Open Regatta last weekend. Their long history of hosting yacht racing events really showed, as the event was about as perfect as a regatta could be. Of course, it didn’t hurt that there was plenty of wind for the racers to enjoy!

Saturday started out with some rain. Luckily, enough of the racers donned foul weathergear so the rain gods were tricked into aborting any further sprinkles. The wind was from the Southeast as predicted with gusts into the twenties. Two around the buoy races were completed by all fleets of between 4 and 4.8 miles in length. With gusty shifty winds, everyone was kept busy keeping the boats on their feet and trying to find the fastest way around the course.

A sumptuous feast awaited the racers when they returned to SYC’s clubhouse and the fine westerly view it provides was a perfect place to socialize while taking in a gorgeous sunset.

Sunday’s forecast was for the wind to veer to the Northwest and with this shift, a possibility of higher wind speeds. The race committee got off three races, two around the buoy courses and a true windward/leeward race for the third and final race of the regatta. By the second race, the winds had built to where the apparent winds were creeping into the 30 knot range. With the wind direction in opposition to the current, needless to say, there were also lots of waves in the mix to add to the challenge. Luckily there were only a few gear breakage problems, a torn sail, broken batten and a parted spin pole foreguy were some examples of damage. Everyone made it safely to Shattemuc to spin tales of their adventures, enjoy a hearty lunch, relax and congratulate the winners of the two days of challenging racing.

Once again, the many people of Shattemuc Yacht Club are to be congratulated for putting on a really top-notch event. There are few clubs that do as professional a job of running a regatta as the fine members of this club.

There’s still plenty of time to get in on all of the fun. The long-range weather forecast for the next HRYRA regatta at Minisceongo Yacht Club looks to be outstanding. Minisceongo also has traditionally had the largest turn out in the non-spinnaker fleet with ten boats often at the start line. So don’t delay. Get your MYC registration in and we all will look forward to seeing you on the weekend of September 21 st .

EXCITING NEWS! Double Handed (DH) Racing Fleet for HRYRA 2024 season

Hello Racers.

I wanted to discuss with you the inclusion of a new fleet that can/will be added to HRYRA Regattas. This will be a Non-Spinnaker Double Handed Fleet .  Boats that wish to race in the Double Handed (DH) fleet can ask for a second (no charge) PHRF certificate.

Double-handed - A member who wishes to use a different configuration when racing Double-handed can also apply for a separate Double-handed certificate which will be marked for Double-handed racing only. A double handed racing certificate may describe a completely different configuration from the fully crewed certificate. For instance, my boat “Ripple” is rated for a 155% genoa and no roller furler for fully crewed racing.  If I were to get a second DH certificate, I could get my boat rated for a 135% dacron genoa on a roller furler which could ONLY be used in DH racing fleet.  You can NOT use the DH cert in a fully crewed racing fleet (HRYRA div. 1,2,3).  If you only race with 2 people on board, or have trouble getting weekend crew, this may give you the opportunity to fleet race with other double handed boats. As per YRALIS safety regulations (which HRYRA follows), you are ALLOWED the use of an autopilot in DH fleet racing (ONLY while racing in a HRYRA DH racing fleet).

For the 2024 season, this fleet will begin as non-spinnaker. If HRYRA sees sufficient numbers of boats that would like to race DH spinnaker, HRYRA may add that fleet next year. (Please leave us feedback).

DH fleets will be scored separately from Fully Crewed Fleets.

Respectfully,

Mike Colucci, HRYRA Handicapper, YRALIS PHRF Committee
