JOIN WRSC!

We welcome anyone to WRSC with a love of sailing, regardless of boat ownership, to become a part of our community. By joining our community, we expect you to be an active sailor and to contribute to the well-being of our club, to spread the love of sailing. We hope that new members find a home within one of our many fleets, so we assign each new member a mentor. Somebody to help you get to know the club, to show you the ropes, to bring you into the social fold of our club.

 

West River prides itself on being one of the most affordable clubs on the Chesapeake Bay. Our annual dues are low and our shared boat program offers a path to sailing that doesn't require the expenses of boat ownership. Making sailing within reach for younger generations and families has been a focus of club of years, as a result our Provisional and Associate Memberships offer a highly affordable entry into the sport and our club. WRSC's affordability is a result of our club being 100% volunteer-run. Whether it is volunteering for a board position, committee head, race committee, or club projects, every member is expected to pitch in around the club every now and then.  

Fill out the online application linked below. At the end of the application, there will be a link to continue onwards to pay your entry dues! Please follow that link and follow all directions. If you choose Pay-by-Check, mail it to WRSC Treasurer P.O. Box 6697, Silver Spring, MD 20916.

HOURS OF OPERATION

WRSC is a fully volunteer club, so we do not have any paid office staff or any standard hours of operation. During the season, you'll likely always find a member down at the club. But if you'd like to come visit us, please sign up for a personal tour here and we will make sure we are there to greet you!
