- The launch is divided into two segments for two different parties (max 8 in each party).

Regattas and Yachting Events
- Larchmont Yacht Club events will comply with the Club’s General COVID-19 Protocols, posted above.
- The skipper or person-in-charge of a vessel is responsible for following all Club COVID-19 Protocols, and for assuring all crew members adhere to policies, both on and off the water.
- Continue to social distance while aboard whenever possible to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
- Continue to wear face coverings especially when social distancing is not possible.
- Comply with NYS guidelines for maximum number of people together.
- Continue strict sanitizing of hands and surfaces that may have encountered the COVID-19 virus.
- Wear a face covering when coming alongside another vessel or a dock. This includes arrivals of launches, tenders, and during raft-ups.

- Minimize use of shared food and drinking utensils. Clean and disinfect shared tools, supplies, and equipment.
- Clean vessel with Dawn soap and water after use.
Safety at our Club
Since the start of the pandemic, we’ve taken extra steps to ensure our clubhouse and facilities remain a safe place. During the last twelve months, we’ve learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t. You will continue to see many of the safety measures we rolled this past year. We have and continue to:
- Make sure that high touchpoints are sanitized at regular intervals as well as increased frequency of our everyday sanitation practices.
- Ensure our dining facilities, and launches are operated at lower and safer capacities.
- Offer additional hand sanitizer stations throughout the Club.
- Use a plexiglass shield at the front desk to keep our employees safe.
- Require members and employees to wear a face covering while on the property in accordance with applicable local and/or state mandates.
