About
Windjammers Sailing Club
Windjammers
Sailing Club is an active association of racing and cruising
sailors based in Milford, Connecticut. The club was formed
in 1943, and has continued to support and grow the local sailing
community since its
inception. Windjammer's nominal annual membership dues of
$45 per year enable sailors of all ages and styles be active
participants.
Windjammers
manages the seasonal Thursday night sailboat racing series
which takes place in the Milford Gulf on Long Island Sound,
just outside the mouth of Milford Harbor. The Thursday night
series is a great way to
sail with friends and family, and at the height of the season
often has 40 to 50 boats participating. Windjammers also organizes
and sponsors many of the weekend sailing regattas which take
place off the shores of Milford. These regattas are scored
by the PHRF handicap system, are sanctioned by the ECSA (Eastern
Connecticut Sailing Assocation, and usually have enough participants
to have several spinnaker classes based on handicap ratings.
While the weekend regattas tend to attract the more serious
racers, most weekend regattas also include a non-spinnaker
cruising class. Windjammers also has an active group of cruising
sailors, who organize weekend and longer cruises to various
destinations in both Long Island and Block Island Sounds.
Additionally,
Windjammers holds a number of social events from May through
December. Windjammers Sailing Club does not own a facility,
but works closely with local yacht clubs, boating clubs, and
marinas to host
our post-regatta parties, summer cook-outs, annual awards
dinner, and various other social events.
