MYC Windsong  Program Committee

The MYC Board of Governors approved the  acquisition of the boat in 2022 for the purpose of enhancing Club members’ on-water boating experiences and seamanship. The BOG will evaluate the program over the next two-years to judge boat use and progress toward program goals.
