New YC In Charleston

[WillyT123]

I don't think there's any question where the money came from. You can pick up a 2 bedroom condo next door to the yacht club for a cool 2M.

so fill me in, does the place where the Ashley and Cooper rivers meet to form the atlantic ocean, a good place to sail or not...

CORA, ChYC, Hobcaw, Charleston Community Sailing all have women members, women on the boards and current or past women commodores. Same with every other YC in the rest of SC, (outside of Charleston) NC, and GA. Which is also the SAYRA Region under US Sailing.

Yes. Now tell us about JIYC and CYC's application process for unmarried women seeking full membership. For fuck's sake bro I spent 5 years trying to get enough non-bubba JIYC board members to push it through and even they couldn't.

If it happened in the past 12 months, my apologies and I look forward to reading the amended bylaws. No one expects shit out of CYC but JIYC should be better.

I know the bylaws of both clubs. My understanding is that even ChYC had the same policy until a few years ago, and that's one of the most welcoming clubs I know, but I have never seen the docs proving it.

Let's not go around pretending that a big chunk of southerners doesn't want things to be more like 1823 than 2023, even in Charleston. Let's remember: This bullshit peddler is Charleston's rep.

I didn't mention the other clubs...

It's a fantastic place to sail. And if they weren't there there'd be no Atlantic ocean.

My brother and sister in law bought a waterfront home in Charleston so their kids would have a place to live and have a nice sailboat to use while attending College of Charleston. SIL has MUCH money and could buy a yacht club, probably wouldn’t care if she couldn’t join one there. She smarter than that.

 

[Kenny Dumas]

So what

 

[Sail4beer]

Well, maybe some people care about the rules of the Southern gentleman, she doesn’t and wouldn’t. If they want to be backwards, it’s up to them.

Tough comparison. 2023 is nothing to write home about but 1823 was not a banner year either.

Clubs that aspire to be gentlemen clubs and exclude women are usually not frequented by gentlemen. I think you will find that behind the veneer they attract the more uncouth sort of fellow.

 

[Sail4beer]

Well stated Mambo.

I went to look at a couple of boats in Cooper River about 6 years ago. Only time I have been to Charleston, unfortunately. Had me wondering how people handle the currents around there in a 5knt SB.

The current is pretty ridiculous down here. It makes from some fun spectating at CRW watching the out-of-town boats get boned.

I enjoy a challenging current.....it adds an interesting complexity to the decision matrix.

Also I am from out of town and have won CRW ....but I would always put my money on Tom Loutrel before me.

Pretty important year for the century that followed though!

That was one of the less banner features of that year. The Monroe doctrine was still being used in 1962 to launch the Bay of Pigs and even by Reagan to invade Granada and play games in Nicaragua.
It was invoked to try and stop the USA "interfering" with Hitler conquering the ROW.
Nobody is building any statutes to commemorate Monroe.

It was also the year that the USA formally launched a "war" on the Plains tribes. The records explaining the justification of that decision would make you cringe.

The colonization of North America isn't all that different from the Kahn's conquest of Russia and China. Similar brutality, similar tactics, similar genocidal results.
