The Sailing Club, Inc.

In addition to the upcoming trips described on the Trip Schedule page, the Club also has the following events scheduled. Today is 8/16/2018. Date Event For more information July 2018 7/8/2018 July Day Sail - CONFIRMED DATE It has been such an enjoyable outing the last two years, so let's do it again. Summers are always fun here in New Jersey and our own Barnegat Bay is a sailor's delight. Our plan is to reserve two boats for Sunday, July 8 with Barnegat Bay Sailing School (BBSS) located at Cedar Creek Marina, 100 Harbor Inn Rd., Bayville, NJ. We will do the morning sail, arriving by 9:30 AM latest for the 10 AM 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. Click Here 7/14/2018 Day at the Lake 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!

It is known for its historic lighthouses, sandstone sea caves, old-growth remnant forests, and natural animal habitats. More lighthouses shine over this section of Lake Superior than in any other National Park. The crystal clear deep water between the islands, generally more than 100 feet, separates the islands from each other by approximately two miles. We plan to sail to seven or more of these beauties of nature over a week's time.

A special treat for our September 9 departure is a "sail-in" to Brooklin, the site of the Wooden Boat School. There will be a gathering of classic wood vessels, and tours and shore festivities.

The combination of lingering warm weather and exciting autumn events make it a perfect time to plan a weekend getaway on the water. This autumn trip combines some of the best Chesapeake Bay sailing conditions with a visit to historic Annapolis, Maryland and - best of all for some sailors - the Annapolis Sailboat Show. We're chartering some of our favorite boats from Haven Charters in Rock Hall, which allows time for some good sailing before reaching port, without the risk of running out of time.
