HARBOR ISLAND YACHT CLUB

Old Hickory, Tennessee

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What exactly is HIYC?

A: The purpose of our club is to promote sailing in all its branches; to help promote a code of ethics and safety for the waterways; to provide instruction in boat handling and seamanship; to form a social and activity nucleus for individuals and their families interested in yachting; to develop an active relationship with other sailing organizations; and to foster the Corinthian spirit of good fellowship.


Q: Do I have to own a sailboat?

A: No. Several of our members are not boat owners (they just like to sail). There are always members who can use an experienced crew member, and members who are willing to help new sailors.


Q: I'm interested. Can I attend a race or other event to learn more about HIYC?
