Special Message:
The boat show is just two weekends away. It will be our greatest opportunity to recruit new members before the new clubhouse opens and the initiation fees goes to $4,000. If you are coming to the show do bring along a friend who would enjoy being a member of The Club so they can get the full club and harbor experience.

Thank you to everyone who is volunteering. We’ll be sending out more information about the event, your rôle in it, and inviting you to a pre-show briefing next week.

We are starting The Club At Westpoint’s fifth year of the Friday Fun sailing events. This year with some added Destination Sails. The first four sailing Fridays we’ll be on our own unless we come up with an impromptu plan, the fifth Friday sail is to Treasure Island on the eve of the Westpoint Regatta! And then for the second half of the 2023 series we plan to enjoy the new Club facility!

So, sign up on Jibeset.net and join the Fun. NOR and SIs can be found here.
