SBYC Reception

This is a very reasonable price and offers the opportunity for SBJSA families to make use of the club dining room and for a modest price the fleet of Ideal 18 sailboats. If your child in enrolled in the SBJSA program and you feel that this opportunity is right for you then please consider attending the reception and information session on July 2, 6:30pm at the yacht club.
The reception at the yacht club will be held on the first night of SBJSA/SBYC Thursday Night Racing. Wine, appetizers, and information will be available beginning 6:30pm at the club. We would like to know how many will be attending for planning purposes. Please click on the link below and add your contact information to the email.
