Dear Fun Club Members,

All hands on deck!

Please join Commodore Bob Ewing and P/C Jeanne Koenig as we launch the 2026 DEYC season in true Down East style with a festive Woody Wagon Event at Luke’s Boatyard on

 Saturday, June 13, from 4:00–6:00 PM

This is the gathering that kicks off the season — a chance to reconnect with old shipmates, welcome new members aboard, and celebrate the start of our 60th DEYC season

You will not want to miss:

Great food from Mine Oyster
Garden salad, BBQ pulled pork, BBQ pulled chicken, slider rolls, tamari grilled vegetables, baked beans, potato salad, watermelon slices, and, of course, Mine Oyster’s beloved clam chowder.

First access to the 2026 DEYC Roster
Pick up your paper copy hot off the press.

The DEYC Ship’s Store
Shop new DEYC swag. R/C Terry and Lyn Traver have been hard at work preparing the Ship’s Store inventory for the season.

That signature DEYC spirit
Good food, good friends, good cheer, and a fine reason to raise a glass to the season ahead.

Cost: $30 per person, $35 per guest

This is also a wonderful opportunity to bring a friend and introduce them to the Down East Yacht Club.

As always, DEYC is powered by volunteers. Helping at the Launch Party is an easy and fun way to get to know fellow members and lend a hand with this all-volunteer effort. Please visit the DEYC website to choose how you would like to help.

Let’s cast off the lines together and toast the start of another great season.

We look forward to celebrating with you!

 Thank you,
Commodore Robert Ewing
