Sail With Us

Sail with us in 2024

We've been very busy this winter fine-tuning the sailing programs we offer to boat owners and particularly to those who don't own a boat. We're eager to meet you, show you our Club, answer your questions, and have you sail with us this season. To that end, we invite you to Contact US and we'll be in touch. 

Ideal Sailing

We offer the Ideal Sailing Program to general members and season members, where you can sail, or learn to sail, on our Club-owned Ideal 18 sailboats. A great option for beginners or experienced sailors to get on the water without the hassle of owning and maintaining a boat.

Sunset Sailing

Members can join Sunset Sailing, a program for people who do not own a sailboat yet want to discover sailing, or for boatowners (or their partners) to gain greater experience and confidence on the water.  The program meets once a week, Thursday evenings, in June and July. The program is hosted on members' boats led by some of the Club's most experienced skippers.  You'll spend the evening sailing and discussing wind direction & points of sail, upwind & downwind sailing, tacking & jibbing, picking up & leaving a mooring, man over board procedures, and sailing Rules of the Road.

Junior Sailing

Since 1969, our Junior Sailing Program has trained generations of young people to sail. The program emphasizes not only nautical skills, but equally important lessons in safety, responsibility, and personal achievement, instilling values that extend far beyond sailing.  For children ages 8 and older.

Crewing

Our member skippers recruit crew for racing and cruising -- experienced sailors and novices, members and non-members alike.   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. 

Sunday Sailing

From time to time we offer Sunday Sailing as a "First Sail" opportunity. Members of the public are invited to visit the club on select Sunday mornings and sail aboard a member's cruising boat. You may participate in crewing the boat or just sit back and enjoy the ride.
