Sailing, sailboat racing and sailng classes in Central New Jersey

Hunterdon Sailing Club 60th Anniversary Season!

Greenest Sport on the Planet

Hunterdon Sailing Club was founded in 1964 as a not-for-profit volunteer organization dedicated to promoting the sport of sailing. HSC is located on Spruce Run Reservoir, a 1290 acre state park with 15 miles of shoreline for recreation in Clinton, NJ.  The club sponsors training programs for youth and adults, organizes weekly races,  and holds annual regattas for the enjoyment of both novice and veteran sailors. As a member of US Sailing, HSC is connected to the national sailing community and participates in the ‘First Sail Program’, offering an introductory sailing experience to the community.

Members include individuals and families, adults and youth who always wanted to sail and have been looking for a chance to learn, as well as experienced sailors who are looking to improve their skills. The club offers a robust calendar of events throughout the sailing season from late April through October with instruction, boats for loan to club members, and opportunities for frequent sailing. Fleet races are held twice weekly for the HSC fleets, which include Force 5, Flying Scots, Jet-14 and Sunfish. 

HSC hosts special events that range from competitive, such as regional and national competitions for specific sailboat classes, to just plain fun, including family fun days,  hot dog roasts & picnics. As an added benefit, Spruce Run State Park is one of the few that offers boat storage, so your boat can be on-site and ready to sail. Here is a wonderful opportunity to spend more time sailing close to home and less time driving to the shore!
