We welcome you and your family to join as members, not only participate in our over 125 racing events and yachting lifestyle, but also be a part of our rich history and enduring legacy. We want to help you get involved, compete in your first race, join a racing committee, participate with our Foundation, take a class or seminar, get your kids passionate about boating and, of course, make lifelong friends. In conjunction with the clubÍs management staff, our constantly-active committees coordinate a variety of social events, educational programs and seminars, holiday festivities, theater, museum and cultural outings, and regular Friday night committee and fleet happy-hour gatherings. From informal barbecues on the patio and potluck dinners on the docks to elegant wine-tastings and black-tie New Year's Eve galas, our members always have a reason to celebrate their membership.
