About Hunterdon Sailing Club

HSC – which is in its 48th year of sailboat racing, training, and fun – is a not-for-profit group dedicated to promoting the sport of sailing.  Club events are scheduled from the first week in May until mid October.  HSC runs sailboat races in several different types of sailboats every Sunday afternoon from May to October. On Wednesdayevenings from May through mid-August, HSC holds its “Twilight” series in Sunfish sailboats. Each season there are special sailing events, cook-outs, social gatherings and training classes.

The annual HSC membership fee is $95 per family, and all events are run by member volunteers. Members who complete sail training will be eligible to use the club Sunfish saiboats for most scheduled club activities and regattas. New members will also find opportunities to crew aboard the larger Flying Scot, Jet 14, and Daysailer sailboats owned by many of the club members.

Help needed for Saturday October 15 Haul-out and Park Service day

Please join us at Spruce Run this Saturday, October 15th, at 10 AM, for our annual haul-out and park service days. All members are welcome and encouraged to take part.

We will spend the first part of the day bringing See Which Won up the beach, storing it for the winter, and packing up the shed.

From there we will break into teams to help the park staff clean up the waterfront and camping areas from a very active summer.

Please bring work gloves if you have them. We will supply the rest.

We look forward to seeing you there!
