The
Sailing Club sponsors sailing events throughout the season.
The Sailing Club is
designed to promote sailing on Lake Parsippany by creating a camaraderie of
sailors of all ages and ability levels, both male and female.
All Lake Parsippany members (age 11 and up) are welcome to join the
sailing club and are required to take the sailing class. You MUST sign up for the sailing class on or before Open House. After completing the class you may have use of Club sailboats for your sailing
pleasure.
The class teaches new and returning students the basics of sailing. The course runs approximately 5
hours on a Saturday early in June. About 90 minutes are spent
indoors, with the rest of the time being spent on a sailboat
(with an instructor for those first-timers). Students learn enough so they can go anywhere on the lake they wish and return
back to their starting point (hopefully without capsizing).
The
Lake Parsippany Sailing Club is not a racing club, but it
certainly seems to be a popular one, with some 60 to 80 members
of the private lake joining the Club.

Come to our

about our purpose and meet some of our members. If ropes or
tying knots capture your imagination, stop in for the Knot of the

boating. Signs, shown below, hang at Sailing Center the week before each
event.
