Meet with other local sailing enthusiasts at our meetings to share stories, organize sails, find skippers and find crews. Last year many became regular race crew members, others learned to sail and some went for day sails. We had 40 people for our July sunset sail and still had room for more. Our "speed sailing" event had 13 skippers connecting with 22 potential crew members. No experience is necessary and we will have seminars at many meeting for newbies to advanced sailors. City Island is about an hour's ride from Grand Central Station on the #6 Lexington Ave local plus a short bus ride, also convenient to the Hutchinson River Parkway and the I-95. There is even a direct Express Bus that runs up Madison Ave right to City Island! Click on "About Us" on the left sidebar for directions to the Club.

"Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. In them, out of them, it doesn't really matter"

      “Miss SAILING!!!! I used to do lots in Chesapeake Bay out of Annapolis. Love racing... not to mention 'frostbiting' which usually ended on New Years Day. A few outings and I'm sure I'd be right back into it. It's like riding a bicycle.”
