Covid-19 compliant boating activities in NYC – Members’ Survey

Dear Members,

We are all well aware of the restrictions imposed by the ‘new normal’ on our boating activities. However, while we await clarification on the lifting of restrictions in upcoming phases, there are already many compliant boating activities that can take place out of your Club!

Indeed, the NYC is well equipped to provide fun & safe boating activities for all age groups and interests ranging from family match racing on our Elliotts to Kayak outings or cruises in (safe and distant) company!

In order for us to best plan, prepare and ‘gear up’ for family oriented activities this season, we invite members to fill this quick online survey which will help us deliver the best possible services at the most appropriate times.
