Oyster fest was amazing! The Severn sailing thistle members are top in class. Pulling it all together, despite King tides and one dry lift due to flooding. Watching the thistles launching was like watching ballet with trailers. Harmony at the boat launching. Power boaters seldom witness this at a ramp. This is a skilled group of people who clearly know how to treat each other on and off the water. Thanks for your hospitality. Go 635!
Great location and very friendly staff. Severn Sailing Association has hosted a variety of events for the Society of Naval Architect and Marine Engineers (SNAME), and their food/service has consistently been the best in Annapolis.
Great small boat private sailing club. They do host open events, so check out their fleets to see if you can come race as a visitor.
If you're into small boat racing, this is the place. Great venue, great people and lots of small boats. You can't go wrong here. They also have a really good junior sailing program. Highly recommended.
