GENERAL MANAGER MESSAGE
Dear Members,
It's pool season! We are excited to have our members back enjoying the sun &
swimming at the SH-PYC!
The Swim Team is in full swing and I know that everyone involved is happy to be
back.
Harry and the Marina Team are here to serve you. We have a list of Marina Services
that we offer to our members. Please feel free to contact the Ship's Store to help
you (704-999-4160). We have two NEW Bennington Tritoons for rent. If you don’t
have a boat, no problem. You can enjoy the day out on the lake on ours.
We also are partnered with Carefree Boat Club to offer our members the Peninsula Yacht Boat Club. If you
would like to know more details, please contact Clair Knox at cknox@peninsulayacht.com.
Our Wine Down Cruises on the Nopkehee are a breathtaking way to end your day. You are able to reserve your
spot online! Call a few of your friends to enjoy the lovely sunsets we have here on Lake Norman.
We have many events this month for our members and their guests to enjoy. Some of these events include
a Pool Opening Luau, Sunset & Sangrias, Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, Scotch and Cigars, Raft Ups, Pancake
Breakfast, Backyard BBQ and a Movie on the Lawn. The Fleet Commissioning and Shrimp Fest are Sunday the
30th of May. It will be a wonderful day and evening that you won’t want to miss.
We continue to apply our sanitation practices at the PYC. We take the safety of our PYC team and members
seriously. Thank you for continuing to wear your masks.
As always, we look forward to seeing you at the Club.

There is nothing like the bond
between boaters. Whether at the dock or out on the water you can pretty
much count on other boats when you are in need.
We also have all experienced that late evening when arriving back to the
dock and the winds have picked up and you’re just not sure if you can make it
into your slip. Then what do you know, all your dock mates come to your aid!
What a great feeling of relief knowing they are there!
Please remember, pay it forward. There will always be that time when either you or someone else
might need a hand! And of course, if during marina hours, please call the marina team on VHF channel
11 and we too are happy to help!
Be eyes for others when on the docks. If you see something that does not look right please notify the
marina staff as well as your dock mates.
Marina Manager Reminder
Sailboat vs. Powerboat
Remember that a sailboat running an engine, even if sails are up, is legally categorized as a powerboat.
In a congested area it is best not to run the engine with sails still up, because captains of other boats
may not be aware of your engine running and may assume you are operating under sailing rules.
The rules are simple when a sailboat and a small recreational powerboat meet:
In most situations the sailing boat is the stand-on vessel and the powerboat must give way.
If the sailboat is overtaking a powerboat, the powerboat is the stand-on vessel and the sailboat must
give way.

Boating for Ladies
Saturday, May 22 | 10:00 AM
Come out and enjoy this free, hands on class!
Be prepared to take control of the wheel and maneuver the
vessel in and out of a slip and in tight areas. An instructor will
be with you at all times so no need to panic! The class will be
capped after the first 8 registrations. Please RSVP online.
12 | PeninsulaYacht.comFLEET COMMITTEE NEWS
The Ed Sherrard Memorial Power Boater of the Year Award was established
a number of years ago by the PYC to encourage participation in the broad
range of events hosted by the club and Fleet Committee. Ed was an active
member of the club and enjoyed supporting his fellow boaters in maximizing
their enjoyment of our beautiful lake.
Points are awarded for a wide range of the Peninsula Yacht Club activities,
and extend beyond power boat events (Raft-Ups, Lakewide History Tours,
Poker Run and many others) to include credit for volunteer participation in
key club efforts as well as completion of the educational and safety seminars
that keep our members safe. The winner receives recognition in our club publications, a plaque, and a
$100 gift card.
In April, the Lakewide History Tour (5 points) and Scavenger Hunt (10 points) provided the first points
opportunities of the year; congratulations to Mark Benno, who participated in both events and currently
leads the points race for the year. In May, will see additional points awarded for our first Raft-Up of the
season on May 22 (15 points for bringing your boat; 10 points for coming with another member) and
for volunteer support of the Fleet Commissioning/Shrimp Fest on May 30th (5 points). Note that we
recognize all safety seminars – whether sponsored by our club or another organization – with an award
of 5 points for every three events attended.
The Ed Sherrard Power Boater of the Year Award is an enjoyable, competitive challenge that takes place

Good day and I hope you are having a wonderful start of your Summer! As a Member
of PYC, I have had the good fortune of meeting many of you and for those I have not
met yet, I look forward to the opportunity. The Fleet Committee and I always welcome
suggestions on how to make your Member experience better so if you have any thoughts,
please let us know.
As your Fleet Captain, I wanted to take a moment to introduce you to the activities we
(the Fleet Committee) are concentrated on that are externally based. While most of our
work on the Peninsula Yacht Club Fleet Committee is internally based (providing insight
to the Management of the Club on the interests and needs of our Members) there is a
portion of our work that is externally focused as well. Here are a few examples:
Publicity of PYC Fleet Events via media outlets:
I am pleased to say that we have a wonderful relationship with the local media and welcome their engagement as we
promote our Boater Safety Programs as well as our Silent Auction to help support local Charities.
Support the Fleet Committee Chair of Safety & Education:
Planning and developing Boater Safety Programs and providing Boater Education for our Members are at the heart of
our existence.
Working with PYC Management, local marine enforcement, and education agencies to bring Boater Safety resources to
our Members is part of our offering.
Lead, coordinate, and deliver a successful 2021 Silent Auction:
With the capable support of the Power and Sail Captains, our Silent Auction Committee, Volunteers and Sponsors, we
are planning for another successful Silent Auction in 2021 (to be held September 4th – Save the Date) to help benefit
the three local Charities that we support.
1. Davidson-Cornelius Child Development Center
2. Levine Dickson Hospice House,
3. Calvin Newman Youth Boating Safety Fund
Optimize relationships and engagement with LKN Yacht Clubs and National organizations
There are many clubs and organizations on Lake Norman. Therefore, it is imperative to establish communications,
discuss resources, coordinate Fleet Committee open events, and identify opportunities of mutual benefit. Together we
all win and provide our Members with the best experience.
Have a wonderful and safe Summer – I look forward to seeing you at PYC or on the water.
