Click Here 6/24/2017 June Trip to Annapolis Sailing on the Chesapeake Bay in late June is sublime. There are warm, fresh breezes but not the crowds of July. This trip uses a proven Sailing Club trip formula: Great sailing + learning opportunities + good friends + new friends + food + raft-up + potent potables (liquid refreshments) = Supreme Satisfaction. If you're new to the club or haven't sailed for awhile this three-day trip is just the ticket to refresh or sharpen your skills. Of course, a long weekend sailing trip that includes a night in Annapolis is also a favorite of long time sailors.

We have two boats reserved for Sunday, July 9th with Barnegat Bay Sailing School (BBSS) located at Cedar Creek Marina, 100 Harbor Inn Rd., Bayville, NJ. For the afternoon sail, arrive by 1:30 PM latest for the 2:00 PM dock departure with captains Mike and Audrey. A family-friendly sail of 2.5 hours out in Barnegat Bay with an experienced local captain is a great way to get an introduction to what sailing is all about. It's a perfect trip of those new to sailing or anyone looking for a pleasant summer day with great people! Lots of opportunity to take the wheel, assist with sails, learn about the bay...and children over age 6 are welcome. All children under 13 will be required to wear a life jacket while on the boat. Life jackets will be supplied, but you are welcome to bring your own. Boats are a Catalina 30' and a Pearson 37'. There are nice restrooms at the marina for your use before boarding.

Click Here 7/15/2017 Day on the Lake 2pm - 6 pm Once again, Doug Otte and Nancy Mathiesen have graciously invited all Sailing Club members to a relaxing day on the lake. This is one of the Sailing Club's few social occasions where you can sit in a warm, dry, stationary chair and not spill your drink. All while enjoying a festive barbecue, catching up with old friends and making new ones. This year, the Board will supply the hamburgers, hot dogs, water, soda, condiments and dessert. Please bring your favorite dish that will serve 10-12 people according to your last name: A - M please bring an appetizer N - Z please bring a dessert There are limited facilities for heating or cooling food, so please plan accordingly. In addition,, you may want to bring the following: Your favorite beer, wine or liquor Lawn chair (and umbrella) Broad-brimmed hat for shade Bathing suit and towel Suntan lotion and bug spray Photos of recent sailing trips You'll have access to Doug's kayaks and are free to bring your favorite flotation devices. Doug has a beautifully landscaped back yard and an equally attractive dock. There won't be an abundance of shade, so bring items that will give you adequate protection from the sun. To protect both the Club and our host from liability, you must be a member and complete the Release Form. The Board, in an effort to protect the homeowner and the Club, has opted for this action in the absence of Club insurance. Please print out and complete the form, bring it with you, and give it to Doug upon your arrival. Car-pooling is suggested, since parking is limited. You can leave your gear near Doug's driveway, before parking. Your GPS may get confused as you get near. Be sure that you use Hopatcong and NOT Lake Hopatcong. As with all Club activities, volunteers are always needed. We need a cook, set up/break down crews, and a few strong backs to carry heavy/bulky items. Please RSVP to Rudy Vallejo (SocialEvents@TheSailingClub.org) to let him know (a) your intention to come, and if you'll be inviting guests, (b) that you're willing to volunteer (and any preference you have), (c) what you intend to bring. Rudy can also be reached at 201-358-1185. Thanks very much. We look forward to seeing you there!
