Interested in Sailing? Join a Crew!
If you'd like to get out on the water, stop by the Membership Committee table—located next to the upstairs bar—on Thursday evening and let us know you're “crew looking for a boat.” Whether you’re an experienced sailor or brand new to the sport, all are welcome. We’ll do our best to match you with a boat and help you learn more about sailing as a guest of one of our skippers.

Please Note:
To enjoy the evening at the Club—including food, drinks, and the view—you must be sailing. Guests should be physically able to participate on a boat. Age is not a barrier, but mobility is important for your safety and enjoyment.

Helpful Details for First-Time Guests:

• Please plan to arrive by 5:00 PM.

• Park outside the front gate and walk into the Club grounds.

• The main dining room is on the second floor of the Clubhouse.

• Dress comfortably for sailing, and please wear white or non-marking soles. We also recommend leaving valuable jewelry at home.

What to Expect:
The length of the race depends on the wind, but most boats return by around 8:30 PM. We sail in light rain or mild weather, but safety always comes first. The Race Committee will decide by 6:00 PM whether racing is on or off for the evening.
