2026 CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Calendar legend:
- Race - A traditional start where boats are positioning themselves to begin the race just before the start line.
- Cruise Pursuit/Parade (Fun Race/Cruise combining the club "racers" and the "cruisers")
We use a timed start (vs a normal crowd at the start line), where you are given a pre-set time to be at the start line and all finish about the same time. This fun "race" makes it easy for beginners or those that do not want the challenge of a regular start to still enjoy the day sailing down the coast and around a buoy. - Cruise - Allows for day sails or multi-day sails to destinations like Bald Head Island, NC, the Georgetown Lighthouse, and Charleston, SC.
- Social - Get-togethers, cookouts and boat show visits to build camaraderie.
