Whispers and 'secret' VHF channels.

The YCA may have the richest history that never happened. Whispers at the beach bars and standing by on 'secret' vhf channels. Leaving little trace other than burnt coals and footprints in the sand leading back to the water. Everyone living aboard has something in common, but those who did it young are part of an even more connected tribe. There has always been something special about finding another boat of young cruisers in a harbor and sharing a night, or a season exploring together. But finding each other has always been the problem. The chance.

By bringing the YCA into the modern world with technology we hope to make everyones cruising experience better. We all know the cruising guides are written by a certain type of cruiser and many times they are nothing like us. We all know how awesome it is when you're lucky enough to meet fellow sailors you really get along with. Season changing. So it's time to make those connections easier, build a crowd sourced trove of info about the kind of places 'we' like, and get together to help shape policy and regulations that will impact our generations the most. The mobile app makes it easy to find other YCA members near you and shoot them a message, host a get together, and share your epic photos and videos.
