Come Crew With Us For Some Serious Fun!
Published 8:00pm on 11 May 2024
One of the best ways to enjoy the thrill of sailboat racing is to crew on a member's boat — and you don't have to be a Nyack Boat Club member to give it a try. Every season, skippers on many of our boats—Ensigns, Sonars, Thistles, and especially cruisers who require larger crews, look for sailors to join them on the Hudson River. Typically, skippers recruit crew with some sailing and racing experience, availability to show up regularly, and commitment to the team.
From May to October, we run active racing programs Wednesday evenings, Sunday afternoons, and weekend regattas.
Racing Calendar:
- For Wednesday evening races we have as many as 20 boats on the starting line in our PHRF Handicap fleet:
- One-design fleets are out on Sunday afternoons: Ensign, Ideal 18, Sonar, Thistle, and the PHRF fleet too.
- Weekend regattas for all fleets from May through October, including regional and national events -- equal part keen competition and great parties. And many skippers (and crew) compete in "away" regattas throughout the region.
NBC racing is serious sailing fun that continues post-race on our Club patio and at the NBC Pub and Galley.
Want to come aboard? Create your crew profile on NBC Crew Finder (login, or create, your Club account) and reach out to skippers seeking crew.
