We're dedicated to the family sport of sailing!

RACING: The club sponsors dinghy racing and yacht racing. The dinghy racing is open to almost any kind of small boat such as Sunfish, Lasers, Force 5s and 420s.  A small nucleus of diehard (crazy) sailors also engage in frostbite racing in the winter. Yacht racing involves cruiser- racers in the twenty- to forty-foot range. Racing is conducted in four divisions under the PHRF handicap system which theoretically renders all boats competitive regardless of design, size, or vintage. Generally fifty races of various types will be held (which does not include small boat and frostbiting events). Distances will vary from two to forty miles, while starting times will range from weekday evenings to weekends.

CRUISING: The Association has weekend cruises to Long Island Sound ports in both Connecticut and Long Island, as well as weekly raft-ups/barbecues and Summer Fun-Days filled with family oriented activities. The annual Long Cruise takes a fleet of boats to destinations such as Block Island, Newport, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. In addition, many members cruise on an informal basis with other sailors they have met through the Association.

SOCIAL: In addition to the on-the-water activities, the association also holds meetings and social activities on land. Regular meetings are held each month from October to May at the Mount Sinai Yacht Club at 244 Harbor Beach Rd., Mt. Sinai, New York at 7:30 pm. See home page for the next meeting date and directions. Prospective members are always welcome at meetings. Among the other off-the-water activities are an awards dinner, wine & cheese parties, sailing seminars, boat show trips, and our famous pig roast.
