Rocky Point Sailing Association’s mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and interactive environment to promote a long-time love of sailing and encourage each sailor’s development. Rocky Point Sailing Association offers three types of yearly membership: General, Dinghy and Keelboat.
Members are encouraged to participate in discussion at the general meeting and are required to vote at the Annual General Meeting. The members form the legal entity that holds the Executive Board accountable for good stewardship and the fulfillment of our mission.
