Racing
For four hours each Saturday morning of the season, the boats are reserved for intra-club racing. Any qualified skipper may take the helm in these races, and any club member may crew. A seminar on racing rules and techniques is offered each year in mid-summer.
The Club also holds several major regattas during the year. The first regatta, in early June, is in celebration of Historic New Castle's Separation Day, as well as Founders Day later in the season to honor the founders of the Club.
The sailing club sponsors a Charity Regatta in July and invites skippers of other classes of small sailboats to participate in this fund-raising event for the March-of-Dimes.
The Club also sponsors a Thistle class event, the Delripitt, open to all Thistle owners in late October.
