We have socials after every race and various other social events throughout the year, along with an Annual Meeting and Awards Ceremony over the winter. All members are invited to attend all socials even if you don't race that day!

Go to the Sign up page to volunteer to bring food to one of the post-race socials at Whittaker Pointe Marina. Dinghy Sailors celebrate at Bow to Stern with beer and snacks after the race.

Upcoming events

  • 32nd annual "Instead of Football" Regatta

    • January 01, 2026
    • 12:00 - 15:00
    • 1SC (formerly “Oriental 1”)

    Every January 1, a lot of Oriental gets out on the water – an alternative to say, watching football on TV . The Instead of Football Regatta starts out from Oriental Marker #1 at noon on New Year’s Day, Sunday January 1, 2026. Warning horn at 11:55a.

    Marks are: Adams Creek #1, Garbacon #7, finish at Oriental #1 (SC1).  Sailing direction/course change announced on Channel 72 prior to start.

    The Regatta’s a great way to take in the first day of the year. You can sail, you can motor. No one’s really keeping score. Well, most aren’t. 

    The mandatory (mandatory should you wish to eat) Skippers’ Meeting is after the race at 1500hrs at The Silos (race cancelled or not). 

     You are encouraged to bring a small nautical or fun wrapped gift – re-gifting is perfectly acceptable – for the drawings. 

    For more information, contact Todd Cox at 802-999-7572.
