Woohoo! Welcome to the Tribe.
You are a true legend. Fly that burgee with pride and soak up all of the joys of being a YCA member. There is no better feeling than seeing that black flag flying in the harbor and knowing there is a tribe member that’s ready to swap stories, share a beer, and chill.
With great burgees comes great responsibility. When the flag is flying you are taking the oath, and promising to:
1) Never take yourself too seriously. Crabby old cruisers we are not.
2) Always be ready and willing to lend a hand, especially to a fellow YCA tribesperson.
3) Represent YCA and all young sailors in a positive way. We have a lot of work to do to repair the sometimes tainted ‘sailboater/ blowboater/ cruiser’ reputation many before us have created. We are thrifty, not cheap. We are partiers, not drunks. We are cruisers, not cruisers who bitch. We are wandering, not lost. We are not the first, and we will not be the last. We are the YCA
4) And most importantly, always have a beverage or a cockpit seat ready to share with the dinghy headed your way.
The ‘Happenings’ tab on youngcruisers.org will keep you in the loop on up coming events and remember… YCA is now you too… so host bar nights, a bonfire, or a party anywhere, anytime, and we’ll make sure we get it out there to the world.
Please use #YCAss to spread the good word and bring others along this gnarly hydro road we call life.
See you out on the water.
