In early 2022, ORC of the Chesapeake, LLC was formed by the Annapolis Yacht Club to facilitate the return of a Velocity Prediction Program (VPP) handicap scoring system for keel boats on the Chesapeake Bay. The Annapolis Yacht Club with support from Eastport Yacht Club, Tred Avon Yacht Club, Screwpile Lighthouse Challenge, and Southern Bay Race Week, have all contributed to providing a great array of ORC racing for 2022.

As the fleet and supporting clubs coalesce during the 2022 season, AYC looks forward to releasing ORC of the Chesapeake, LLC to its members as soon as practical for continued growth and success.

This overall score is calculated entirely from a single beacon score, weighted as follows:  100% Accountability & Finance . Learn more about our criteria and methodology.

We recognize that not all metrics and beacons equally predict a charity’s success. The percentage each beacon contributes to the organization’s overall rating depends on the number of beacons an organization has earned.

Charity Navigator's ratings previously did not consider Leadership & Adaptability, Culture & Community, or Impact & Results. The historic rating mainly reflects a version of today’s Accountability and Finance score. More information on our previous rating methodologies can be found on our rating methodology page .

This beacon provides an assessment of a charity's financial health (financial efficiency, sustainability, and trustworthiness) and its commitment to governance practices and policies.

Key Accountability Metrics

Industry professionals strongly recommend an independent governing body to allow for full deliberation and diversity of thinking on governance and other organizational matters. We check to see that a majority of board members are identified as independent on their tax form.

Source: IRS Form 990

Industry professionals strongly recommend an independent governing body to allow for full deliberation and diversity of thinking on governance and other organizational matters. For most organizations, we check to see if the organization has at least three independent board members. For large, donor-funded organizations, we check to see if the organization has at least five independent board members

A diversion of assets — any unauthorized conversion or use of the organization's assets other than for the organization's authorized purposes, including but not limited to embezzlement or theft — also can seriously call into question a charity's financial integrity. We review the charity's most recent IRS Form 990 to see if the charity has reported any diversion of assets.

Tax Form Disclosures and Policies

Charity Navigator looks for a website on the IRS Form 990 as an accountability and transparency metric.

Nonprofits act in the public trust and reporting publicly on activities is an important component.

Charity Navigator looks for the existence of a conflict of interest policy on the IRS Form 990 as an accountability and transparency measure.

This policy protects the organization and by extension those it serves, when it is considering entering into a transaction that may benefit the private interest of an officer, director and/or key employee of the organization.

Charity Navigator looks for the existence of a whistleblower policy per the IRS Form 990 as an accountability and transparency measure.

This policy outlines procedures for handling employee complaints, as well as a confidential way for employees to report financial or other types of mismanagement.

Charity Navigator looks for the existence of a document retention and destruction policy per the IRS Form 990 as an accountability and transparency measure.

This policy establishes guidelines for the handling, backing up, archiving and destruction of documents. These guidelines foster good record keeping procedures that promote data integrity.

Charity Navigator looks to confirm on the IRS Form 990 that the organization has this process in place as an accountability and transparency measure.

An official record of the events that take place during a board meeting ensures that a contemporaneous document exists for future reference.

Website Disclosures

For almost all charities, we check the charity's IRS Form 990 to see if it discloses that the Form 990 is available on the charity's website. As with the audited financial statement, donors need easy access to this financial report to help determine if the organization is managing its financial resources well.

Financial Metrics

The Liabilities to Assets Ratio is determined by Total Liabilities divided by Total Assets (most recent IRS Form 990). This ratio is an indicator of an organization's solvency and/or long-term sustainability.

The Program Expense Ratio is determined by Program Expenses divided by Total Expense (average of most recent three IRS Forms 990). This measure reflects the percent of its total expenses a charity spends on the programs and services it exists to deliver.

Additional Information

This chart displays the trend of revenue and expenses over the past several years for this organization, as reported on their IRS Form 990.

Not your traditional blue blazer club, EYC is built on activity, on the water and ashore. Our members are involved in a diverse range of boating activities, supported by social events and strong camaraderie. Known for our million-dollar view of the Severn River and Annapolis, EYC also is recognized in the Chesapeake Bay region and beyond as a club capable of managing major championship regattas, Friday night Beer Can races, and everything in between, as well as providing great social networking for cruising, parties, and charity events. It’s all about life on the water, and all about fun.

EASTPORT YACHT CLUB  BECOMES NSHOF FOUNDING MEMBER

During the year 2009, the membership of the Eastport Yacht Club will celebrate the twenty-ninth anniversary of its birth. Although the idea of an Eastport Yacht Club had been discussed since at least the early 1970’s, the actual organization was the result of the informal Friday night social gatherings at the offices of Kaufman & Ladd, Naval Architects on Severn Avenue in the Eastport section of Annapolis, Maryland, U.S.A. During the spring of 1980, eleven of the regulars at these gatherings formed a steering committee with the intention of forming the Eastport Yacht Club.

This steering committee consisting of Robert L. Allen, Eugene Ambo, Thomas Bell-Wright, John Crummey, T. Ross Glover, Jeffrey S. Goldring, Frederick Hecklinger, F. Michael Kaufman, Glenn D. Klakring, Robert A. Ladd, And Ivon Paulin met weekly at the offices of Kaufman & Ladd under the chairmanship of Mike Kaufman to go through the formal process of creating the yacht club.

By October, two hundred persons had been selected who were considered as appropriate for the charter membership and invitations were sent out. No restrictions concerning race, creed, or sex were considered in the selection of these charter members. The number of invitations was limited by the number of persons who perhaps could fit into the upstairs of Marmaduke’s Pub where the first meeting of the charter members convened on October 13, 1980.

The idea of the club was received with true enthusiasm. It was determined by vote that a permanent clubhouse was to be sought after, although there were some persons who, understandably, suggested caution because of the cost of such a venture. The burgee that had been created by the steering committee was accepted.

The burgee pattern was intended to represent the Eastport Bridge in an open position. While continuing to seek a permanent clubhouse, the EYC found temporary quarters on the fourth floor of a building at Annapolis City Marina on Severn Avenue in Eastport that opened on November 6, 1983.

The search for a suitable property continued and on April 23, 1989 the membership approved the purchase of the present site, and after much creative financing, the new clubhouse was opened for use on October 3, 1992. An additional section adjoining the present site was acquired during June, 1999 and in 2004 arrangements were made to acquire the Paape property which is next beyond that towards Severn Avenue. During the spring of 2006, the program of expanding and rebuilding the marina was completed. Various committees are active at planning the continuing development of our expanding properties.

All members are encouraged to volunteer and serve on committees so that EYC will continue to develop by the membership and for membership. The Eastport Yacht Club has accomplished a great deal since its creation twenty-nine years ago and is now responsible for many events, many of which are noted in the letter from our Commodore. During 2004, the membership voted to increase the voting membership from 500 to 600. Eastport Yacht Club has become a vital part of our community while continuing to be a fun place to be.

Eastport Yacht Club Becomes “Home Yacht Club” of Pride of Baltimore II in New Partnership

It’s a partnership that’s never been done before. The Pride of Baltimore II , a tall ship ambassador for Chesapeake Bay history that travels far and wide, will now fly the Eastport Yacht Club’s (EYC) burgee. And the two organizations are planning future education programs together.

The Annapolis club has just become the first “home yacht club” of Pride II . On Friday, EYC hosted the privateer for Maryland Day festivities and a legislative reception at the club (complete with cannon salutes). The two swapped an EYC burgee (which measures at least 5′ by 8′, but looks relatively small up the ship’s mast) for a Pride II pennant, which now hangs in a place of honor over the club’s bar.

EYC Commodore Mark Jones tells Bay Bulletin that during planning for the legislative reception, he’d asked Pride of Baltimore Chair President and CEO Jayson Williams whether the ship had a home yacht club. “Well, no,” he’d responded. “We hadn’t really thought about it.”

That led to a two-hour conversation in which the two realized a partnership held a lot of potential. The yacht club, which prides itself on being built by watermen and maritime workers rather than aristocrats, advocates for marine trades jobs and educational experiences for kids in Annapolis. Pride of Baltimore Inc. does the same thing in Charm City.

In a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the two groups laid out goals that are aspirational rather than contractual. The goals include partnering in education, STEM, and maritime careers. Pride of Baltimore has committed to sponsor one of EYC Foundation’s maritime scholarships. For its part, the yacht club will support Pride’s Spring Sailabration on April 28, donating yacht club experiences for the Commissioning Week Blue Angels air show and 4th of July fireworks.

The Pride II will compete in the EYC-hosted Annapolis to Bermuda race June 3 before heading out on their Great Lakes tour. See the ship’s 2022 schedule here . As an honorary EYC member, Pride II Captain Jan Miles can take advantage of reciprocity with various yacht clubs outside a 50-mile radius when the ship comes into other ports.

Eastport yacht club lights parade ready to set sail again in annapolis this weekend.

Steve Ruark/Capital Gazette

The Eastport Yacht Club Lights Parade proceeds along Ego Alley.

Capital Gazette

After a year’s hiatus due to COVID-19, the Eastport Yacht Club Lights Parade , a longtime Annapolis holiday favorite, will return from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday.

As the yacht club’s website describes it: “Every year on the second Saturday in December … boats suddenly appear out of the cold winter night illuminated with thousands of colored lights and crewed by jolly revelers.”

The parade, which takes place in the Annapolis Harbor and Spa Creek, was first organized in the late 1970s. It grew slowly each year, and in 1983 the yacht club formalized the parade.

Tom Stalder and Trudy Miller Stalder are co-chairs of the event and are hoping for good weather this year. Stalder has been involved in the parade since 1987 and Miller Stalder for more than 20 years. She became co-chair three years ago.

Stalder said they have more boats and sponsors than in years past and the interest in the parade has become overwhelming for the couple. Forty-one boats signed up for this year’s parade.

“We meet monthly and it is a [year’s] worth of planning to put this together,” Miller Stalder said. “October and November are pressure months with the push to the parade.”

Last year, they planned until late October. Then it was decided the parade couldn’t happen because of the ongoing pandemic. She said it was a difficult decision, but one they had to make.

Miller Stalder said she felt great when she found out this year’s parade would take place.

“We started planning [in] January and we just hoped this pandemic would be slowed down enough for us to have this parade,” she said. “People are just more excited to get out this year to have fun.”

The couple splits responsibilities when it comes to planning. Stalder takes care of all the on-the-water things, including permits and having the Coast Guard shut down the harbor. Miller Stalder oversees sponsorships, public relations and more.

“There [are] a lot of dangers out there, with the cold water, backlights from the city and lights on the [boats,]” Stalder said. “It is a challenging task for skippers and we have a mandatory meeting for them to attend.”

Many of the boat owners have been telling Stalder they are excited to get out on the water for the parade. He calls the parade a gift to the city that keeps on giving every year.

One of Miller Stalder’s favorite parts of the event is the parade-themed Christmas cards, designed each year by an artist and sold to the public. This year, Barbara Brower, an Annapolis artist, won the competition to design the cards. So far, 1,200 cards have been sold.

For more information on the lights parade, including good spots to watch in person, go to eastportyc.org/lights-parade .

Sock-burning ritual ignites annapolis springtime..

By By Amy Mulvihill | March 2015

Though only a handful of marina mainstays attended the first sock-burning, the practice soon caught on, spreading to other port towns from the Pacific Northwest to New England.

Turner is “amazed” at the impact of his quirky, defiant act. “It was never meant to be taken seriously,” he says. “It just says, ‘Enough with the socks! Time to go sailing!'”
