Powered by GoogleI’ve been a member of NBYC for most of my life. The organization’s dedication to the sport of sailing, both for leisure and competition is apparent. The facility is welcoming and the membership quite friendly.
Intimate spot limited Adirondack chairs if u can grab. Nice sandy beach area. Limited parking. Clubhouse is decent with a fridge n small kitchen. Seating inside and large bathrooms.
My family have been been members since the 1920’s. In summary it’s amazing I take sailing lessons here as well in an optimist. Great stop to come into from Long Island sound I have a house right about 1,000 feet away so walking is very convenient. There is very nice views of the breakwater and is very easy to dock and to go out. Sorry for long review but it’s just amazing
Fun ride at corona times, wow it was such a life time experience 10/10 must try ⛵️
Developed a lifelong love for sailing here back in the late 70's and 80's. Still a perfect small town club for friendly boaters. If you live in the area consider lessons!
