We need your help this weekend to move temporary docks into place at RYC. There are other tasks as well that need attention. If you are strong and can join the work party Saturday, please contact RC Bob Wardlow for details.

 
Names selected for RYC boats!
White smoke billowed above the Grill Room and cheer rose up from the assembled faithful as they recognized it’s significance; We have named the new boats!   The Naming Committee reported the results of its recent solicitation of suggestions for boat names to RYC Board of Governors, which after short discussion and deliberation rendered it decision.

RYC Readies Yard and Docks for 2013 Season!!

May 10, 2013

On Saturday, May 11th, we will have a 100-ton crane on site to re-set the steel stairs and mast gin pole. Since the steel stairs rest on both the Grill Room and Surf Room decks, we ask that members please refrain from using these decks for that day as well as entering the RYC yard unless you have a specific purpose identified by Commodore Bigos or Rear Commodore Wardlow. There will be a lot of cutting, grinding and welding work to be accomplished as well as 14,000 pounds of steel stairs swinging overhead!

We have survived Sandy
On October 29th, 2012 Hurricane Sandy gave us a helluva shot.  Our location on Raritan Bay made us the focal point of a record storm surge that as luck would have it,  coincided with a full moon tide.  
 
A History Of Raritan Yacht Club

A History Of Raritan Yacht ClubThe Raritan Yacht Club, one of the oldest in our nation, has a rich and colorful history. In pre and post Civil War years, Perth Amboy became a resort - fine hotels drew visitors for their summer vacations from Newark and New York. The bay full of deep, clear water and its access to the ocean made Perth Amboy a natural site for boating enthusiasts.
