Club Activities
Meetings
General Member Meetings are held once a month, generally before the monthly board meetings. Check our
calendar at www.cgsc.org for the next one. These meetings are the time for the Club Officers and Committee
Chairs to report to the members regarding the business affairs of the Club as well as the social events. Members
also use this time to socialize with each other.
Racing
No Sailing Club would be complete without an active racing program. Coconut Grove Sailing Club has a very
active program that even the non-racers are proud of. We are supporting members of the BBYRA (Biscayne
Bay Yacht Racing Association). The BBYRA is supported by all of the Clubs on the bay and maintains an
active schedule. We also host numerous regattas, both national and international. We have a reputation on
Biscayne Bay of having one of the best Race Committees, in that we have the least number of protests and the
best organization. We owe this to our hard working Race Committee members and the leadership of our Fleet
Captain.
Cruising and Rendezvous
We have a committee that organizes monthly rendezvous for the cruising segment of our membership. These
turn out to be relaxing and fun weekends. Most bring a dinghy tender so they can go to fellow member’s boats
for get-togethers or cookouts ashore.
Every spring the Rear Commodore hosts the Club’s “Annual Rendezvous”. This is a major event for the Club.
Upwards of 300 people attend this event. The weekend is packed with events for adults and children, as well as
family events for everyone. Everyone comes home from the Annual Rendezvous having had a great time.
Marine Instructional Programs
Coconut Grove Sailing Club exists to promote the art and sport of sailing. To support this, we must introduce
newcomers to sailing. We have a Community Sailing Program that teaches beginning sailing to adults and
children. During the summer, we operate a sailing camp for children ages 8 through 15. We also have
intermediate and advanced courses for children that embrace the sport and wish to continue. Coconut Grove
Sailing Club develops sailors through our children’s Racing Development Program. In this program, children
become members of the CGSC Racing Team and compete in children’s regattas around the state. One of our
own, Kim Logan represented the United States and the Coconut Grove Sailing Club in the 1996 Olympics. She
was not the first CGSC sailor in the Olympics, nor will she be the last.
Our Adult Sailing Program starts with “Learn to Sail”, followed by Intermediate and Advanced Sailing. We
also offer “Clinics” for improving student’s sailing skills. All of our instructors are U.S. Sailing Certified and
are also assisted by experienced coaches. All are volunteer members of CGSC. We also have weeknight
classes in various topics such as “Coastal Navigation”, “Weather & Seamanship”, “Celestial Navigation”,
“Hurricane Preparedness” and more.
