Sandy Bay Yacht Club was founded in 1885. The clubhouse is situated in the harbor of the scenic and historic coastal town of Rockport, Massachusetts. SBYC has many one-design and cruising sailboats that race in regular weekend and Wednesday evening races, also annual club regattas and club-sponsored district and national regattas.
We also have an active social program. SBYC is host to the Sandy Bay Sailing Program which provides basic to advanced training for juniors and adults. We aim to give students broad exposure to sailboat racing, to instill a love of the sport, and to develop safe, independent sailors. Social events including chowders, weekend coffees, after-sailing get togethers, dances, cookouts, and catered or potluck suppers.

We offer sailing lessons to sailors of all ages and abilities; from beginners to racers and cruisers, ages 8 and up. Our racing programs offer experienced sailors the opportunity to travel locally and regionally, competing against other sailors their own age. In addition to wonderful sailing opportunities, Sandy Bay Yacht Club offers excellent social opportunities.

A buddy grew up in these parts and his family longtime members. was only too happy to join up for a sail aboard a New England-made Rhodes 19 (club fleet) from Rockport Harbor toThacher Island, a 50 acre wildlife refuge on Cape Ann with the only operating twin lighthouses remaining in America. it was an easy cruise on the way, then picked up sporting wind and speed back...awesome memorial day on the water.
