ABYA formed the ABYA Past Commodores Club in 1971. This
Club was opened to all ABYA member club Past Commodores,
mainly as a social group to encourage fellowship between
clubs.
Anchor Bay Yachting Association membership meetings are
held on the first Monday of each month with a different club
hosting the meeting each month. There are, however,
exceptions to these meeting schedules, which are
given to our membership. All ABYA Past
Commodores are considered delegates and may attend meetings
and vote on all matters coming before the membership. Most
clubs send their Past Commodores as their delegate.
At our General
Membership Meeting, a speaker is usually invited to discuss
various issues of interest to the boating community.
Delegates from the various member clubs of the ABYA then
disseminate this same information to the membership of their
own clubs.
The ABYA also promotes camaraderie among its members by
sponsoring various social functions throughout the year. The
year’s first major event is our Spring Rendezvous, which is
usually held the first weekend of March. This event has
grown throughout the years to the point where we now have
approximately 400 members attending for the weekend activities.
The highlight of the weekend is the very popular RUBBER BAND
BOAT RACES. These boats built by members of our member clubs
can cover the distance of thirty feet in a swimming pool in
less than a second. The speeds that these boats achieve has
forced us to go from stop watches to an electronic timing
device just so the times could be recorded accurately.
In June of each year, we host a Spring Dinner Dance
at
one of our member island clubs. This event has been a
