Want to Join a Sailing Club?

In nearly five years, the Annapolis Sailors Club (ASC) has gathered 274 active sailing members, more than 82 of whom have sailboats. The club seeks new members.

85 sailors attended the club’s first ever holiday party. As well as gathering for dinner and drinks at Chesapeake YC, ASC members donated 204 items (coats, hats, pants, and gloves) to the Arundel Home for Hope Winter Relief Emergency Shelter that serves 60 homeless men and women in the area. ASC sailor Gwen Mayes gives, “A big thanks to ASC members and hosts Vicki Hurt and John Murray.”

Some of the winter trainings scheduled for ASC members: Sailors Fishing On The Bay: Lessons from a commercial fisherman; First Aid, CPR & AED Red Cross; Medical Emergencies At Sea: Beyond First Aid; ASC New Sailor Training (Classroom Primer); Taking Stress Out Of Docking; Night Sailing Demystified; and Flares and Fire Extinguisher Demonstration.

ASC does its planning via meetup.com/annapolis-sailors-club. You may also find the group on Facebook. Anyone interested should email [email protected]
