The follow the flag "rules" are below
FOLLOW THE FLAG (FTF)
You provide the hospitality and the cruise committee will provide the marketing!
An opportunity to meet other HYC members and get together with your fellow cruisers! It is a simple way for both SAIL and POWER cruisers to meet at local destinations socially on a HOST boat – BYOE ( bring your own everything) !
FTF are typically weekend events, but might be day trips ( picnic @ Sampson’s Island) or a multi day rally. They are spontaneous which accommodates the uncertainties of weather and family calendars. HYC members are welcomed to join in and host as many FTF’s as they wish.
The destination for each FOLLOW THE FLAG will be decided by the self appointed host boat soon before the event, based on anticipated wind and weather forecasts. Notification of the FTF destination and host boat will be advertised in a e-mail blast (usually the preceding Thursday) and will be posted at the clubhouse bulletin board. If you miss those, just keep your eye out for the RED HYC Cruise flag when you arrive in any harbor.
Cancellation of the FTF due to poor weather conditions is at the discretion of the host boat. A notice of cancellation will be posted at the clubhouse and e-mailed if you have signed up for FTF events.
At the destination, the host boat will lead a radio net on station 68 LOW POWER at 1700 hrs confirming the location and logistics for the get-together and will remain on the radio to listen for new arrivals. The host boat will fly the HYC Cruise Flag so they can be identified at the destination. All HYC boats in the harbor are welcome.
