Membership
The purpose of the club is to provide activities and opportunities for members that are both fun and enriching. We welcome those that love the boating life - whether you are currently an active or an inactive boater. We have racers and cruisers. Some members have switched from sailboats to motorboats and still others that have had to retire from active boating life. However, that evening breeze off the water still stirs the desire to be back on the water.
We invite you to meet some of our members - old and new on the Members Profile page.
Benefits of membership
In addition to a active calendar of events both on the water and on land, there are other benefits to joining.
Opportunities to get on the water:
Need crew? We have members that are available to add hands to your next race.
No sailboat? We have skippers looking for extra hands, and really any excuse to get on the water.
The committee boat, Dwindle Down, sets up each race. Crew and passengers are always welcome. Being out on the water doesn't always mean sailing.
Kayaking: Our 6 kayak rack holds kayaks for anyone interested in exploring Myer Creek and the Corrotoman up close.
Club House use for member events and special occasions. More information on the Club House Page
Bocce ball, Horseshoes and Cornhole for outdoor fun and games
Kitchen and grill facilities.
Dock for temporary dockage, (including overnight), or to come to an event via water. Our dock can hold 3 boats, has 4.5' MLW on the outside and does not have water or electricity.
