West River Sailing Club

94 years since our founding as Our Own Damn Yacht Club, we remain a community rooted in the love of sailing and an organization designed to nurture this love. Whether you race or cruise, sail dinghies or yachts, are experienced or not, or are looking for a youth camp, we are the community for you. Through our many unique programs, fleets, facilities, and ethos, West River Sailing Club ensures that we serve every sailor — all while remaining among the most affordable sailing clubs on the Chesapeake Bay.
