Volunteers are at the heart of the GYC. We are a busy club and we are very lucky to have many members who give up their time to enable us to run events both on and off the water.  What differentiates us as a club and not a business is that our members help out, and there are plenty behind the scenes keeping the club going but we need more!

We have sub-committees for Motor, Social, Sail, House, Rowing and Cruising and are always looking for extra hands.  It is a great way to get involved with the club and meet new people and you don’t need to to be able to sail to get involved, sometimes it’s as simple as talking with our members.

If you are able to give a little of your time you can make a big difference.
