Dear Members,

GENERAL MANAGER MESSAGE

What a great response we have had with creating our own Safe Harbor Peninsula Yacht Club Boat Club We have six new boats for our Boat Club members to use. Sign up today by emailing Nmaust@shmarinas.com.

We have added a toaster to Sunday Brunch, which was a recommendation from one of our members! We hope you will find this to be a good addition to our ever-popular brunch. Please be so kind to make a reservation so that we can serve you and your family

Tapas Night is back, and Chef is ready to showcase some of his delectables from Spain. Call today for your reservation at 704-892-9858.

It’s time to winterize your boat. You can call the Ship Store at 704-892-9858 ext. 6514. We have new merchandise in the Ship Store, and now is a good time to think about Holiday gifts for your loved ones!

We communicate to our members in 11 different ways If you are not on our text program and would like to be on it, please call the club at 704-892-9858, and we will make sure you are a part of this great way to stay connected.

Thanksgiving Day is just around the corner, and the reservations are almost filled. Please call today if you haven’t reserved a table for your family.

As always, it is a pleasure to serve you. My team and I are thankful for our members who make the Safe Harbor Peninsula Yacht Club a great place to be.

Chef De Cuisine

Tips

Pairs well with rice, noodles, or even quinoa

If you like crispy skin and want to avoid sogginess, pat the salmon dry and sear skin-side down first

Marina Manager Reminder

Preparing for the winter

The water on the docks will be shut off approximately mid-December, unless of course the temps get colder sooner.

Be sure and stabilize your fuel. This helps keep fuel fresh and helps with moisture.

Fill fuel tank to 90%. This leaves room for expansion and will help with condensation.

Pump out waste. This will make for a much better experience next time you board the boat…!

Winterize all systems, water, waste, engines, etc. by flushing the system with nontoxic anti-freeze or protecting with an APPROVED heating source!

Take any excess items, towels, floats, etc. off the boat to help avoid mold and mildew in the spring.

Charge your batteries!

Cover the boat. Make sure all poles are secure and covers are tied down.

CHECK YOUR BOAT!! Don’t put away and forget. This most always is a very costly mistake!!

There are many other factors to keep in mind when preparing for the winter but just always remember a little bit of prep can save a whole lot of money!

As fall colors are now upon us, we enjoy spectacular boating on Lake Norman with cool temperatures, fair winds, and light traffic.

The October Pirate Treasure Hunt is an annual favorite for the children, and it did not disappoint this year. What a great success with 73 registrants and 40 volunteers! A big thank you to the PTH Team!!

Our 33rd Peninsula Cup Regatta was also a great success yet again. Wonderful October weather kept the competition tight with two of our boats winning 2 place awards in their respective classes - Gold Digger, owned by Jeff Bodkin, and Mad Hatter, owned by Mark Cook. Congratulations skippers and Pen Cup volunteers!

As we approach year-end, the 2025 Fleet Committee has executed 28 amazing events. And rest assured, your 2026 Fleet Committee will be ready to do the same!

Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!

To fair winds and following seas, Tim Harbick

2025 Vice Commodore

After a busy sail racing scene over the past couple of months, things will be quiet now for the holidays. However, this doesn’t mean it is not a good time to be out on your sailboat enjoying the beautiful fall weather! The leaves turn beautiful colors and the breezes are more predictable: great conditions for that lovely cruise on the lake. The next regatta on the schedule is the Icicle Series in midJanuary. The PYC Fleet Committee hosted this event in 2025, so this year it will be hosted by either OYC or LNYC. Details will be reported on the club website as soon as we know them. Enjoy the holidays!

2025 Fleet Committee

The Fleet Committee is a dedicated group of volunteer members who collaborate with club management to host a variety of events for our members. Some of these events also support local charities by raising funds. The Social Scene offers a fun and easy way to get involved with both the club and the Fleet Committee. It’s a great opportunity to share fresh ideas, meet new people, and volunteer for upcoming events!

Fleet Committee Meeting

The Fleet Committee is a group of volunteer members who work in partnership with the Safe Harbor Peninsula Yacht Club management. Next Meeting: Saturday, November 1st
