From racing to cruising, Newport Yacht Club is home to a wide variety of sailboats. Not only do we have Irondequoit Bay to sail but Lake Ontario is a short distance away. The bay offers a unique opportunity as the afternoon thermals provide great wind into the evening.
News
- The brown jug is being hosted at Rochester Canoe Club this year (2024).
