They schedule races every first full weekend of the month and their membership is open to anyone who wishes to join. They also offer sailing classes to the public during the summer months. A larger ramp and marina are available for private boats with another launch ramp for small sailboats. A snack area and restrooms are maintained for your convenience.
Picnic shelters are available in Bryan Park near the Marina.
