Just a reminder that fireworks are strictly forbidden at SSYC. Boats are very flammable vehicles and any violation of this rule can result in a major violation and even expulsion from the club. We want everyone to enjoy the holiday but safety of our membership and the boats moored at the club comes first.
Simply enjoy the holiday at the public fireworks and your home.
Sincerely, SSYC BOD
Annual Share Holders Meeting will be held on Saturday, August 30th starting at 9:00am. This will be followed with a work party to get the grills and picnic tables out. Please attend the meeting and assist if you are available.
Safe boating this summer.
We need volunteers on Sunday, April 25, 2021 at 10:00am to bring out picnic tables and clean grills. Donuts and coffee will be available at 9:30am (Note: This was rescheduled from Saturday because of the threat of rain). Hope to see you there.
The 2022 America’s Boating Club of Saginaw Bay (formerly called Saginaw Bay Sail and Power Squadron) will be at SSYC for boat safety inspections summer. Sign up sheets will be posted for a boat inspection at the bath houses once a date is finalized. This is a good way to learn a little more about your boat and boating safely on the Saginaw Bay. It helps avoid (but not necessarily stops) those untimely inspections by the Coast Guard too. Hope you take advantage of this great opportunity.

Time to check your dock against the SSYC Reference Dock. Please make sure that your dock is as high or higher than the reference dock.
Measure from the water to the bottom of the dock and then compare this distance to your own dock. If you fall short, then your dock will need to be raised. If you need help checking or raising it, contact a SSYC Board member.
If you fail to raise your dock (should it need it) by the second Saturday of October, a $100 charge can be assessed; October 10, 2020 is this year’s deadline. This is in accordance to rule 21 of our Association Rules.
The Reference dock was set on September 4, 2020. Look for the new Reference Dock sign indicating which dock it is; near Slip 180. See the below picture.
This sign will be used in the future for indicating the date the dock was set.
SIncerely, SSYC Board of Directors
2020 Power Squadron will be at SSYC on Saturday, July 25, 2020 at 9:00am. Sign up for a boat inspection at either bath house. This is a good way to learn a little more about boat safety & the Saginaw Bay.
