Campers ages 7 through 16 are grouped by age, experience and skill level for instruction and supervised time on the water across week-long summer sessions. Enrollment is open to children of non-members as well as members; fees are $400 per camper, or $300 each for a sibling booking. Scholarships are available through the RRYC Junior Sailing Foundation so the program is reachable at all income levels.

Powered by GoogleIan, the current Commodore, will lie to you. I sent my kids to the sailing class and Ian lied about the price. He asked me to pay more than the published rate. I found out later the published price was less and asked him about the difference. He acknowledged he was wrong in what he said. However, even after requesting repayment several times and he has refused to make good on his mistake. In talking with other people in the community I have found that his behavior doesn't surprise anyone. Given his continued refusal to make good on his promises, I hope this warning will ensure others to be wary when dealing with him.
Located on Carter Creek the RRYC is a jewel of a club. Friendly and welcoming members, perfectly maintained facilities and a seasoned and knowledgeable dock master.
The RRYC is a first-rate visit for a transient boater. Friendly manager and members, quiet river, immaculate dock and facilities… they have it all. We will be back when we are in the area. Can’t say enough nice things!
This club goes above and beyond to be gracious and accommodating hosts. The people here are passionate, kind, helpful and generous. Really cool facility!!
We raced sail boats yesterday, Garry Hooper was our instructor.Our first time out we won second wind died unable to steer her, so we came in forth. After the races we had a barbeque. We saw people swimming in the bay and in a pool a beautiful kitchen and view to eat on picnic tables and rocking chairs. Oh we are going to do this again soon
