Although we might like to meet on the water all the time, we have Club get togethers on land as well. Join your fellow sailors at the monthly Club meetings that include food, guest speakers on a variety of seaworthy topics, camaraderie and a themed-party atmosphere. Since we are a ‘club without walls’ the location of our meetings does vary, so be sure to check out details on our calendar links to each meeting. This is a great opportunity for cruisers, racers, Captains and Crew to meet and share adventures.
