Come One, Come All to the Grand Work Party!
The major grounds conversion and fall cleaning is scheduled for Sunday, September 26th at 8:30 a.m. Please meet under the tent for instructions.
The overdue resurfacing of the north side is scheduled to begin on Monday, September 27. This work includes grinding down and replacing the existing asphalt, restriping the lot lines, and allowing time to cure prior to beginning haul-out on October 2.
In order to complete this work we will have a work party to take down the tent and prep the grounds. Dry Sail residents will need to have watercraft removed from the grounds by Friday, September 24.
Of course none of this can happen without your help. This is a great opportunity for new members to complete a few hours toward their service requirements. Chef Jay will be providing lunch for all who participate.

Sailing and Racing
If you are interested in sailing, and more specifically racing, there are ample opportunities to join one of our racing fleets, or to crew on one of the boats in those fleets. The women's fleet races on Mondays, small boats race on Tuesdays. Big boats race on Wednesdays and Saturdays. And the double handed fleet races on Fridays.
You can learn more about the various racing fleets by clicking here. And the racing schedule (for all fleets) is available here.
Powerboating
Our power boaters are active fishermen. An annual fishing contest is held in July.
In addition, our power boaters host a number of events, usually on Thursdays as well as many weekends.
