The Committee
The CUYC Committee is organised in the standard yacht club structure of Flag Officers (Commodores), Officers, Skippers and Instructors. By the CUYC Regulations, CUYC Officers are elected for a maximum term of one year, and CUYC Skippers and Instructors sit on the CUYC Committee ex-officio. All CUYC Officers have a vote at meetings.
Click on any of the Officers, Skippers or Instructors to see the current person in that role and their job description.
We need you - Join the Committee!
CUYC elects new officers as needed, usually at the beginning of each term. And we are pretty much always in need of new Committee members! If you are interested in a position (either vacant or filled) in the CUYC Committee then please e-mail the Commodore. Getting involved will give you a chance to work within an enthusiastic and very well organised Committee of one of the most active clubs in Cambridge - and provide you with another excuse to go out regularly.
