★★★★★R E (KsHutch)Great people and nice place to camp. It's always a good time.
★★★★★Nuke WeldorThis sailing club has a long, rich history and is a great group of people to associate with. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about all things sailing. If you've never been sailing before, give them a call and sign up for classes. Good clean fun for adults and children making memories for a lifetime.
★★★★★Richard AkeWe took their adult introduction to sailing course, which includes 3 hours of classroom and 2 days of sailing on small "Sunfish" sailboats. Very educational. All the instructors were patient and courteous.
★★★★★Mark HoshorWe are new to sailing and from the first time we visited and every time since, the sailing community here has been very welcoming. The sailboat cove and beach are great, especially for new sailors. The regulars here are the friendliest group you will ever meet.
