HENDERSON HARBOR YACHT CLUB
Message From Commodore, Bill Arnold
HHYC is a private, informal, family oriented, volunteer based yacht club that promotes boating activities, water safety
and is a center for camaderie and heritage in Henderson Harbor. We are 63 years old and anticipate many more years
of great sailing, camaraderie, deepening friendships and fun social events.
With the 2010 season upon us, we are looking forward to another very successful season. HHYC offers so much to its
members and guests such as a spectacular harbor and wonderful facilities. Our proximity to the Thousand Islands,
Kingston, Bay of Quinte makes for fantastic cruising. There’s delightful day sailing in the harbor and beyond. HHYC
offers reciprocity with other clubs and welcomes guests from all around the lake. We’ve developed quite a good
reputation with these guests and there are many who return year after year to enjoy our little bit of heaven.
This year we will be having our usual holiday picnics on Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day. The Saturday
evening theme parties and dinners will return to group gatherings for all to socialize together as has been done in the
past. A long standing event at the Club is the Tuesday night family dinners. A full agenda of racing activities has been
planned. Last year we hosted the EYC regatta with 45 boats from around the lake, which was an outstanding success
in all respects. Pictures from this event are on our web site. We will expect to continue as a sponsor of the Hospice
Regatta.
On the last week of July the Henderson Harbor Chamber of Commerce will sponsor a Waterfront Festival and HHCC will
host a shore dinner which will be open to the public. Details on this and other events at the Club will be available on
the Chamber’s web site. A link to this site is included on the Club’s web site HENDERSONHARBORYC.COM.
HHYC has a diverse membership of 160 members consisting of adults and juniors. Our membership categories include
Boating, Social, Senior Social and Junior with discounts for younger Boating members. We offer leased docks to
members, with special first- time lease rates this year, as well as transient docking for members and guests from
reciprocating clubs. Moorings are available through the Town of Henderson and an application may be obtained from
the Town office. Our clubhouse features a dining room, bar, kitchen and sunroom. The dining room and bar are open
on the weekends with fish fry dinners on Friday and theme dinners Saturday evenings. The cozy sunroom is bright and
cheery with a fireplace for those early and late season chilly days and evenings. We have a pleasant brick patio
overlooking the harbor, which is a nice place to dine. There are expansive grounds and the area around the willow tree
is, we think, the coolest place on the lake. When not out sailing, members and guests are often found congregating
under the tree, sitting in one of the many Adirondack chairs visiting with other members or reading. The Club has a
neat playground facility for the children that get lots of use from the younger members and visiting grandchildren. On
our grounds is a 2-bedroom cottage that we rent out very reasonably to members and non-members. Check out our
web site for cottage rental information. We have wireless Internet for the convenience of our members and guests. It’s
convenient to sit in the cockpit of your boat or at a patio table with laptop checking email or doing office work.
Membership information can be found on the Club’s web site, HENDERSONHARBORYC.COM by clicking on the Join
HHYC line.
Small boat sailing instructions are offered at the Club by Henderson Harbor Water Sports Programs, Inc. (HHYWSP) a
non profit 501 k organization. Information on instructions may be found in this paper and on the Club’s web site.
Our web site contains information on Social Activities, Operating Hours, Racing, Sailing Instruction via HHWSP, How to
Join, Directions to the Club, Cottage Rental, Reciprocal Clubs and Contact Information, On the site there are links to
local, NOAA weather and the Henderson Harbor Chamber of Commerce.
You’re welcome to stop by, visit and get to know us. Be forewarned, once you do, you may not want to leave.
Safe Boating,
Bill Arnold
