As of today, our Social channel supports 34 club members actively discussing the new club house, events, planning, impromptu get togethers, sharing photos and much more!

Feeling disconnected from your Club and other members? Have questions about the Club or a boat issue??

Hope to see you on Signal—be a part of the discussion, and engage as a member!
