 Traditionally the Poughkeepsie Yacht Club has been a "working club," where members take part in maintaining the club facilities and grounds.Participation hours include activities such as the "all hands on deck" docks in and docks out as well as working on the annual events hosted at the club.Members may choose the committee with which they wish to be affiliated (i.e., docks, membership, house, grounds, moorings, entertainment, etc.)
