Resources for Members

The Club Lightning is ready. Last year John Atkins repaired all the controls and they seem to be working.  This year he has buffed and polished the sides and bottom as well as filled as many nicks and missing gelcoat areas, repaired the cover and replaced the centerboard with his orginal stainless steel board. The sails, rudder, tiller, etc are stored in the sail locker. If you are interested in sailing and/or racing the boat, let John know, and we'll make arrangements to get you on the water. Thank you John!

What's ahead?

Thursday Night Sailing -- leave dock at 5:20 PM..
Briody Memorial Snipe Regatta -- August 16-17

Thursday Night Sailing -- For racing on July 24th, we had 8 lightnings and 1 cruiser (flying dutchman).  There were others that opted not to race due to the stormy looking clouds, including 2 other lightnings, a laser and several snipes.  Those who did race were given quite a bit of a shower (more like a downpour).

Newport History - Clubhouse

I bet not everyone knows that the current clubhouse was not the original location for the NYC. In 1943 the club moved to the old Bird and Worms hotel (its current location to this day). The club had 36 Snipes in the fleet that year. Below is a peek at the old clubhouse.
