Great Bay Yacht Club – Dover Point, NH
Tucked in a sheltered cove on the eastern shore of the Piscataqua River, Great Bay Yacht Club offers sailors a great spot for summer anchorage.
The club was founded in the 1950s to provide a gathering place for Merry Mac enthusiasts. The Merry Mac is the venerable Ned MacIntosh catboat design that continues to race and sail at the club today much as they did over 50 years ago. Great Bay Yacht Club continues to foster the sport of sailing.
Today the membership is made up of more cruisers than racers with boats from 23 to 40 feet.
No blue blazers here - just a quiet, convenient location with parking, dinghy space, lockers, and lots of opportunities to meet fellow sailors. Enjoy tall tales at cookouts and regattas throughout the season.
Great Bay Yacht Club is for sailboats only please, and membership is contingent upon mooring rental. Dues and fees are surprisingly low. So consider joining GBYC for 2010 and beyond.
GBYC is located at exit 5 off the Spaulding Turnpike, adjacent to Hilton Park on Dover Point.
