Young Cruiser's Association (YCA) is a collective of young*, salty vagabonds that have found and formed a community of the sea. Whether you are actively seafaring, wayfaring, or daydreaming of such things, there is a place (and a barstool) for you in the YCA. With the young coming together as the YCA, we amp the fun factor, dare each other to take the path less traveled, upset the norm, and fight for important things in the cruising realm. *young (by YCA definition): those who don’t wait for retirement to start living. Majority of us drink too much, swear a bit (that may be modest), wake up with the sunrise, eat what we catch, soak up Vitamin D, read more books than we can count, fix things instead of throwing them out, enjoy bonfires on the beach, commute by dinghy, raise or will raise our children as world citizens, and genuinely understand goodbyes. It's not about being an incredible sailor, or for that part knowing anything about sailing. We are all young cruisers because of the lifestyle choices we have made and the adventure that we are on, wherever in this world. The YCA exists to fuel your fire, blow a horn as you sail out of the safe harbor, share your passion, knowledge, kindness, hospitality, experiences, lifestyle, adventures, ups, downs, highs, lows, with other like minded sailors, and connect you along the way.
