This sailing club travels light and goes where the wind blows. Going where the wind blows and, more importantly, where we can get charter sailboats! The Sailing Club, Inc. owns no property, no boats, no building, not even a gavel! We rent what we need and have traveled all over the world utilizing safe and well-maintained sailboats as bareboat charters.

A charter in the Caribbean helps sailors get through winter. The Sailing Club, Inc. tries to have a Caribbean trip each winter for two very good reasons. First, it’s a long wait for warm weather again on the Chesapeake, and second, it is necessary for good mental health. It is the reboot we all need around February. This year we are heading to Antigua and Barbuda, two islands, but one independent commonwealth country.

Chesapeake sailors charter in the San Juan IslandsThis autumn members of The Sailing Club, Inc. enjoyed a charter in the Pacific Northwest’s San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington. Our sailors chartered a 40-foot Caliber and a 44-foot Jeanneau from Anacortes Yacht Charter in Anacortes, WA, about two hours north of Seattle. The marina facilities were well maintained, and the charter company staff were professional. We boarded the boats September 9 and sailed for eight days.

WASHINGTON, Ill. (WMBD) — WMBD looks back with Lexi Sutter and Andrew Barra on when they were on the scene covering the aftermath of the Washington Tornado 10 years ago. “You never think it is going to happen to your community, you never think you are going to be in the middle of a story like this,” Sutter said. Sutter and Barra were among the first news crews on the scene after the tornado hit Washington on Nov. 17, 2013. “It was like seeing a scene in a disaster movie,” Barra said.
