WHO POWERS HMBYC?
The club is driven exclusively by member volunteers, plus our bookkeeper. Become a real part of the club by training to be a Hospitality or Watch-Officer, or sponsoring a boat, or being a guest chef. The club is like a little business, a professional sports team and a village, all in one. Find your metaphor and become involved!
