Something for everyone
Based out of the Point Roberts Marina, Point Roberts Yacht Club (PRYC) is a collection of boating enthusiasts that believe you get more out of something by getting more into it. Our Club was established on the promotion of participation, education, and sharing of all types of water sports, and to provide a range of social activities & cruising destinations. Feel free to poke around our site, and if you'd like to find out more feel free to contact one of our Board Members (listed here)

My winterizing of Volti Subito has always been minimal; I like(ed) to do weekly check ins on her, and could easily take care of issues as they appeared. For example, if.... How's your boat doing? -a note from P/C Don
This season is different for most of us. Usually we have quick and easy access to check/use our boats 24/7, but few are experiencing that this year. There are a few different monitoring options out there for boats..... (cont. reading in the Board Blog) ![]() Happy New Year!!!
While it's been a stormy year for PRYC boaters to say the least, we look forward to turning the page. Keep you, your family, and your vessel safe -let's help get to our boating normal as quickly as possible. As 2021 begins, remember so too does the winter storm season. Wherever your vessel is moored, consider how different accessing/checking your boat has become. Case in point, a severe Arctic storm is developing off Alaska, which should impact us here in the next few days. Consider reaching out to other members moored at your location to buddy up on boat checks, etc. As of NY eve, here's a WeatherChannel synopsis for the first few days of 2021. So how (and where) are you? We want pictures! (Dec. 5, 2020)
Not much conversation down in the Basin these days, but folks still want to know what's going on! We're asking for two different categories of photos.... First, we'd love to include a shot of your boat secured at its' new, temporary digs. Second, help keep us in the loop with 2 or 3 photos and a one paragraph summary of your post-closure boating highlights. Simply send it to webmaster@pointrobertsyachtclub.com as an email, and we'll do a weekly feature right here! A 'What I did on my summer vacation' assignment of sorts. Welcome to our new virtual hangout! (Dec. 3, 2020)
The framing's done, sheeting and roof's on, and the windows are in! There's still a lot of finishing carpentry to do, but the new site's taking shape and has a nice new look and feel to it. Members -poke around and let us know what you think. Feel free to offer up suggestions. Please note there are sections that are password protected, but we could not carry over your previous passwords from the old host site. We also can't invite you in to create your new passwords until the new site is activated; a bit of a 'Chicken or Egg' scenario. We'll reach out via an email invite as soon as that happens. ***Members, invitations have now been sent to your email as listed in the Roster. If needed, please contact Dan at membership@pointrobertsyachtclub.com to update it. Flickr Meisters.... if you're well versed in the art of finessing Flickr, your webmaster could use some help.

Notice to all members (Mar. 18, 2020)
The Club’s Board has been actively monitoring developments and considering whether to retain or cancel Club activities, and yesterday (Mar. 18) we agreed to cancel all Club events until further notice. Under the circumstances it was not a tough decision to make. We wish you well, and hope that by this summer we will all be healthy and stronger and enjoying the pleasures of boating in the warm sunshine with family and good friends. Stay healthy and happy, and enjoy the company of those closest to you.

Games Night -wrap up (March, 2020)
Everyone that attended agreed; these were fun way to spend a Friday night down at the marina. Unfortunately, we weren't able to complete the last scheduled night due to the Border closure, but we'll sure be back to avenge losses when we return to it again when the long, dark nights of winter begin to re-appear.

Canada Day -Poets Cove/Bedwell Hbr./Winter Cove (July, 2019)
An excellent turnout, with 10 boats and 29 attending. Lots of fun to be had by all; a boat hop, appy pot-luck on the docks, a group dinner @ Sirens, and a couple of Birthday Celebrations. Monday, many continued on to Lamb BBQ at Saturna before returning back to PRM.
