PR Guru George Regan sworn in as Commodore of Oysterville Yacht Club

George Regan, President and Founder of Regan Communications Group, received the dubious honor of being named the 2012 Commodore of the Oysterville Yacht Club on Monday night.  With over 5,000 members, the yacht club is distinct in that there’s actually no club, no yachts, no anything for that matter.  Instead, members pay an annual dues to the tongue in cheek club – a whopping $20 per year.  And every penny of it goes to The Cam Neely Foundation for Cancer Care.  Ironically, the membership list boasts some of the top newsmakers and business leaders in New England, and the club is the largest in the world.

On Monday the club celebrated its annual Sailabration, a massive bash at Oyster Harbors Marine.  Guests and speakers included George Regan, former Congressman Bill Delahunt, City Council President Steve Murphy, Reebok big wig Paul Foster, Mashpee Police Chief Rodney Collins and some 500 guests.  Regan, who has a home in Mashpee and an office in Osterville, is notorious for his boating mishaps.  He has been rescued twice off the Cape (once with Delahunt on his boat) and once off Boston.  The club named  him Commodore because of the “visibility he’s brought to boating.”  He joins an illustrious group of former Commodores, including actors Adam Sandler and James Caan.
