The Committee
The CUYC Committee is organised in the standard yacht club structure of Flag Officers (Commodores), Officers, Skippers and Instructors. By the CUYC Regulations, CUYC Officers are elected for a maximum term of one year, and CUYC Skippers and Instructors sit on the CUYC Committee ex-officio. All CUYC Officers have a vote at meetings.

Joining the Committee
CUYC elects new officers as needed, usually at the beginning of each term. If you are interested in a position (either vacant or filled) in the CUYC Committee then please e-mail the Commodore. Getting involved will give you a chance to work within an enthusiastic and very well organised Committee of one of the most active clubs in Cambridge - and provide you with another excuse to go out regularly.

Having just come along for the theory course, Philip found himself welcomed in to the club and subjected to intense training whereupon he was rather surprised to discover himself a club skipper. It was probably just so that the white hair did not give rise to any mistaken impression that he was actually competent, that it was safer for all concerned that he did acquire a modicum of expertise. |
