As certified skippers, we enjoy the free use of our two sailboats, Mystery I and Mystery II, but with that privilege comes certain obligations. Per our policy, we are required to conduct an annual meeting of all designated skippers.
In order to satisfy this annual requirement, we have scheduled two meetings:
Tuesday March 3rd and Wednesday March 11th in the Hut. Each meeting will be at 6:00 pm
Attendance is required in order to retain certification and continued use of these ALYC assets.
During this meeting we will discuss policies, procedures and obligations of each skipper.
In addition, each Skipper is expected to volunteer time and energy to assist with maintenance and cleaning of the sailboats at least one month out of the year. A schedule will be available for each skipper(s) to select a month of his choosing. First come, first serve.
Featuring educational presentations and dive demonstrations. The Aquarium will also host several organizations that are related to the sport and science of diving. The diving community is invited to find out about volunteer diving and other opportunities for involvement with dive-related organizations in Southern California.

The annual Sail for the Visually Impaired (SVI) has grown to become one of the most important and well attended philanthropic events in Newport Harbor. Each year, over 250 blind or visually impaired guests and their escorts spend a day sailing with volunteers from the American Legion Yacht Club and other area yacht clubs. There are over 150 volunteers acting as sailing skippers, crew, escorts to and from the docks, meal servers, guide dog sitters, check-in personnel, marina control, parking assignment, and much more.
SVI had humble beginnings, starting In 1990 when Bonnie Gibson and Bobbie Reed of the Women's Sailing Association - Orange County (WSA-OC) took 15 blind people sailing on a 40-foot sailboat. A year later, in 1991, American Legion Yacht Club (ALYC) Commodore J.T. Tarwater established ALYC and Post 291 as the host for SVI. Commodore Tarwater’s legacy continues today as the ALYC not only continues to host, but also manages the organization and leadership of SVI.
ALYC is proud of our legacy as the host of SVI and delighted to lead this event. As always, SVI is one of the highlights on our annual calendar.
To volunteer for this year's SVI, contact SVI@ALYC.com.
Members and their guests are welcome to attend.
This will be the last dive and snorkel meeting for 2020.
Election information to be announced.
We are entering Valor again in the Newport Harbor Christmas Parade of Lights. We need to line up volunteers to get ready, and hopefully we’ll win another award! We need help in the following areas:
