Members Show Support with Personalized StABYC Tumblers

Through the month of February 2024, StABYC members will have the opportunity to show their support for the Club by ordering their very own St. Andrews Bay Yacht Club insulated tumbler, personalized with the member’s name. Members are encouraged to bring their tumbler to the Club and it can be used in place of the disposable plastic cups which will be used for drink service at the Club (at least until we can figure out how to get a dishwasher installed in the Sailing Center). Tumblers will be priced to simply cover the Club’s cost. We are hoping to build camaraderie among our members and to upgrade our members’ experience at the Club as we ease into our temporary home in the Sailing Center.

Fire Destroys StABYC Clubhouse

In the early morning hours of November 12, 2023, a massive fire destroyed the 90-year-old clubhouse at St. Andrews Bay Yacht Club. At first light, news of the fire spread and members and concerned neighbors gathered in the club parking lot and watched in disbelief as the raging fire consumed the historic building. Firefighters battled to keep the disaster contained. Fortunately, strong winds blew dangerous sparks and embers towards the bay and none of the surrounding homes were affected. To our great fortune, the Sailing Center building, club docks and club boats were spared. Within two weeks, the Club was back up and running, using the Sailing Center building as the temporary clubhouse. Members and the community have rallied in support of the Club and we are committed to rebuilding a beautiful new clubhouse that will be treasured for generations to come.
