About WRSC |
| We
are a diversified private sailing club located in lovely Galesville,
Maryland. Our home waters on the West River empty into the Chesapeake
Bay from its Western Shore. We welcome every boat owner who seriously
pursues yachting under sail into membership. Our clubhouse and grounds
occupy one of the most attractive sites on the Bay. From modest
beginnings nearly 70 years ago we have grown into one of the most
active sailing clubs on the Bay. We offer a complete range of friendly
and relaxed sailing activities as well as high caliber racing to
suit all sailors |

Membership
WRSC offers membership to anyone who shares our interests and is
willing to contribute to their fulfillment. The WRSC board prefers
that candidates for regular, life, and associate membership be owners
or co-owners of cruising or big boat racing yachts, or sailboats
belonging to one of the club's sanctioned one-design classes. This
policy is maintained in the interest of maximizing participation
in the club's big boat racing, cruising and one-design activities.

Clubhouse
and Grounds: Our all-weather Clubhouse is situated on about
one acre of land on the shore of Tenthouse Creek. The view from
the patio looking out onto the West River and the Bay beyond can
be awe-inspiring when the light is right on a clear day. Our club
moorings and 270 foot pier provide a place for big boats and dinghies
to tie up while our members and guests are ashore.
Dry storage on trailers is available for one-design dinghies. Rack
storage is available for Lasers or Optis. Contact the appropriate
one-design fleet captain regarding on-site storage. Lightweight
boats usually launch off the beach while heavier ones use one of
two electric hoists. Commercial marinas within an easy walk or car
trip provide docking facilities for big boats.
The clubhouse offers showers, kitchen facilities, and ample space
to meet, socialize, or even measure sails. |

| The
village of Galesville offers good opportunities for dining and provisioning
or just a nice walk ashore. |
