Welcome to 
Westhampton Yacht Squadron

 

The story of the Westhampton Yacht Squadron, since it’s founding in 1890, is of people dedicated to sailing and of families passing their enthusiasm as well as their boats from generation to generation.

It is the story of youngsters who learn the sport of sailing, swimming and tennis. Many go on to win honors in local and national competition. It is a wonderful and unique spirit, one of camaraderie and giving.

We also offer a welcome and safe haven to yachtsmen and yachtswomen who visit our bay. We are located on the beautiful Moriches Bay in Remsenburg, NY. Our members and guests enjoy the scenic view of the bay from our well stocked bar and dining facilities. It is rich in history which we proudly pass on to the new generation of sailors.

Commodore's Corner 

Dear Fellow WYS member,

 

I’m Dave Hale. I’m honored to have been elected to serve as your Commodore at the Annual Meeting of Charter Members on September 7^th.  As we have done for 134 years, a Board of Directors was affirmed and Flag Officers accepted positions in which they will serve. Our goal is to further the Mission of the Squadron as stated in our By-Laws, by providing the best opportunities to experience the joy and excitement of sailing and foster camaraderie among our members.

While most of our Board consists of returning members, I am pleased to introduce a new member, Anna Morchel, who will serve as Social Director. Additionally, both Jen Truscott and Julie Pomroy, who have been members of the Board, have assumed new responsibilities as the Secretary and the Treasurer.

The agenda for the Annual Meeting of Charter Members has been posted on our website. In that document you can identify the committees and their chairperson that perform the many functions that are essential to the successful operation of the WYS. They may reach out to you from time to time to ask for your advice or assistance. Please remember that we can only be successful if the spirit and efforts of volunteerism remain strong. Likewise, if you have questions or suggestions to offer, the chairperson or the Club Manager are your best starting points to get answers or action.

I intend to keep the membership engaged and informed through regular communications regarding projects, issues and concerns. In order to do my best, I welcome and will promptly reply to any correspondence from members. I can be reached at dave@smart-sourcing.com.

 

Thank you for membership and support of the WYS.

Sincerely,

 

Dave Hale
56th Commodore
