When you consider joining the Essex Corinthian Yacht Club, please become familiar with the concept of a "Corinthian" club. Our club is a 99% volunteer-run organization and depends on the support from our committees and volunteers.
Committees and volunteers are the lifeblood of our club. ECYC's tradition of "all hands on deck" is critical to our club's existence. It is part of being a member of a Corinthian club. Please volunteer for a committee when you join! There are also other options to support the club.
