Sailing Clubs

Description

Mill Harbor Yacht Club was established in June 1986. Club interests began when increased boat mooring facilities were made available on Payette Lake. This created a greater opportunity to get to know fellow boating enthusiasts and led to organizing the MHYC. The club activities include cruising, racing (as long as it remains fun), raft-ups, social functions in the summer and off-season, and the Annual Meeting in the fall.

In 1974 a group of local friends and business associates began meeting in the now vacant Flagship Nanticoke Queen Restaurant, in Seaford, to form the Nanticoke River Yacht Club. The Marina is operated by the Blades Economic Development Corporation (BEDCo) and is staffed with a dock master and assistant.

The Marina was built with a similar design to the Hilton Head, South Carolina marina and has 87 slips which feature floating concrete docks. A pedestal services each pair of slips and features both 30 amp and 50 amp service in addition to town water. It is the opinion of many cruisers that the Nanticoke River is the most beautiful river tributary to the Chesapeake Bay.

This unique organization was founded in 1953 by a small group of New Castle residents, who together bought the club''s first boat, a used Thistle. Today the fleet includes eight 17-foot Thistles, three 19-foot Flying Scots, a new 21-foot Hunter, a runabout, and twelve dinghies. The club leases property at the lower end of Battery Park in New Castle from the New Castle Commons Trustees. There they have built a sail and dinghy house and moor their fleet. A few blocks away, the club owns a barn, where the boats are stored and overhauled during the winter, and a clubhouse for meetings and socializing.

Membership in CHYC has so many opportunities beyond just a dining experience. Not only do we have incredible food & service, but our members are so much a part of what makes our club so special. Having you join us would make it even better! We have a great boat Cruising schedule and an all new Sailing Program too. But having a boat and boating is not a requirement of being a member.

In fact, many of our members don't even own a boat! We offer groups for Newcomers, Singles, Mah Jongg, Bridge, Tennis, Kayaking, Book lovers and lots more. Many of the ladies in our club attend the monthly Harbor Lites group events. And our gentlemen are automatically a part of the Harbormasters group that meets monthly as well. All of these are available to every member of the club and included in your membership.
