How it works

  1. Join the WhatsApp community. That is where race days get called.
  2. Say what you sail, or that you sail nothing yet.
  3. Come to the first sail. No boat needed, and nobody will sell you anything.

Membership

  • A vote on which class we race, when we sail and how race days run. While the club is this new, one vote counts for a lot.
  • Access to the Mystic Seaport grounds on race days.
  • Use of the club kit: marks, start line, tools and spares.
  • Help rigging and tuning, and a boat to borrow before you buy one.
  • The members list, so you can reach everyone else.

MudRatz sailors 23 and under sail free. The signup form adds the $15 MudRatz sailor membership if you need one.

Dues go to MudRatz Inc, who hold the club's money, and are not tax deductible. Gifts are, and go on the donate page.
