Welcome to the 2025-2026 Sailing Club season, our 42nd year as The Sailing Club. We welcome back our veteran members and extend a warm welcome to our new members and those considering membership.

This two-day training session provides an opportunity to practice boat handling and sailing skills. On the Water Training (OWT) provides new sailors with experience in steering the boat and performing various roles during anchoring, reefing, rescuing, and sailing. Experienced sailors can practice maneuvers and refresh their less-used skills.

Welcome aboard for a relaxing summer solstice weekend with easy sailing and a stay at Herrington Harbor. We have submitted a request for great weather, and as usual for the summer solstice weekend, our request is sure to be granted.

The North Channel, on the Canadian side of Lake Huron, is as close as you can get these days to a pristine wilderness. Azure blue water, pink and peach colored granite rocks outlining the deep green of spruce, pine and poplar which, in turn, provides habitat for bald eagles, elk, black bear and beaver, and many other North Woods wildlife. Consider spending a pleasant week in August; away from the heat and crowded roads, and explore the azure blue waters of The North Channel, Lake Huron, on a sailboat with friends.

A three-day exploration of anchorages off the Chester River and a visit to a Club favorite marina are the highlights of this relaxed, post-summer cruise. Relatively short distances allow for plenty of sailing or, if the wind is not in our favor, more time at anchor for swimming and socializing. The bay is still warm enough to swim and, hopefully, the jellyfish are gone by mid-September.

Join us on a seven-day sail east from Key West to snorkel the reef of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.  We’ll also visit some resort marinas between Key West and Marathon.  This mid-January cruise will provide us with some welcome warmth away from the cold weather of the Northeast.
