HENDERSON HARBOR YACHT CLUB
Message From Commodore Barbara Weber
Welcome to Henderson Harbor Yacht Club!
We at HHYC are looking forward to another very successful season in 2008. Established in 1947,
HHYC is a private club with a diverse membership. Our members look forward to many more
years of sailing, camaraderie, deepening friendships and special social events such as the Baby
Boomer Concert scheduled this year on July 19th. There are permanent docks for members as
well as transient docking for reciprocating clubs. Moorings are available through the Town of
Henderson. Our clubhouse features a dining room, sunroom, bar and kitchen. The dining room
and bar are open weekends with dinners on Friday and Saturday, breakfasts Saturday and
Sunday. The brick patio overlooks the harbor and is a favorite spot to enjoy cocktails, dinners
or breakfasts. When not out sailing, members are often found relaxing in an Adirondack chair
cooling off under the willow tree. We have a much used playground for our young members and
have a 2-bedroom cottage that we rent out to members and non-members. A special feature for
our members and guests is the wireless Internet service that we provide
HHYC’S proximity to the Islands and Kingston makes for fantastic cruising, and there’s nice day
sailing in and around the harbor. HHYC offers reciprocity and we welcome guests from all
around the lake. Many visitors have become our friends returning year after year to enjoy our
little bit of heaven.
The 2008 racing schedule includes two “full moon races”, one in July and one in August. The
races will start around 8 p.m. and return around midnight under a full moon and starry sky. The
Laser Fleet races every Thursday and Saturday from June to September. HHYC will be hosting
the 2009 EYC’s, which is a large regatta with boats and sailors from both the U.S. and Canada.
On August 2nd, we will again host the Jefferson County Hospice Regatta.
The social calendar kicks off on April 26th with our annual “Spring Fling” and ends on
September 20th with a Harvest/Awards Dinner. In-between there are many other events
including holiday picnics, a New Member Cocktail Party, and the Commodore’s Dinner Dance on
August 16th honoring our present and all past Commodores. On July 13th we are delighted to
be hosting the Hospice Garden Tour Luncheon where we expect approximately 250 guests.
Guess we better get our gardens up to snuff!!
The Sail & Swim Program headed up by Mary Hoffman continues to be a huge success. It is open
to all children in the area from ages 5 on up with adult lessons also being offered. On Friday,
August 1st, the Juniors will again race to raise money for Hospice, an event at which these
racers amazingly raise over $1,000.00 each year. The WSP Dinner and Auction on July 26th
raises money to help defray the cost of boat and equipment maintenance. We look to our
members and the community for their continued support. All donations to the HHWSP are tax
deductible. For further information, contact Mary Hoffman at mvmarburger@aol.com .
If you’re out cruising or just driving in the area, plan to stop by and check us out. We’d be
happy to welcome you and give you a tour of our facilities. Plan on staying, as you may not want
to leave!
