For those who wish to race in the Sound, the Club is only three miles from the Y.R.A. one design mid-sound starting line, as well as its proximaty to many of the area's long distance races.
The large and comfortable clubhouse contains inviting public spaces, a full-service restaurant, two bars, snack bar, junior room, locker room, men's and women's dressing rooms with showers, offices, workshop and lavatories. A swimming pool and kiddie pool lie adjacent to the clubhouse, accessible from the large wrap-around deck. A charming brick-paved patio, grill area, and open sun deck supplement the pool and beach for outdoor events.
