CYC POWER FLEET: PREVIEW OF THE 2022 SEASON Are you looking for more ways to enjoy your boat this summer? The Power Fleet is an active social group in the Club and each calendar year offers a variety of on-the-water events and other fun opportunities for individuals and families. Here are brief descriptions of four major types of activities that are sponsored and organized by the Power Fleet.
GIVING BACK CRUISES The CYC Power Fleet is very involved in giving back to the community by hosting numerous outreach events. Power Fleet captains volunteer to take guests from organizations including the Chicago Light House for the Blind, the Chicago Boys and Girls Club, and Fathers Who Care for cruises along our beautiful lakefront. The Special Needs Cruise is our largest giving back event, hosting 120 guests from four Chicagoland facilities. Typically, we need 17-19 volunteer boaters to signup in order to accommodate our guests. Everybody involved agrees: we have as much fun as our guests! New for this season: members of the CYC Sea Scouts will be assisting us with all of our events.
