📣Volunteers Make GMSC Go

GMSC is a volunteer-run club, and our racing, social events, and day-to-day operations depend on members stepping in and lending a hand.  We're currently looking for volunteers across racing, social, and membership activities, including opportunities to serve on the Race Committee during race days.  Whether you're an experienced sailor or newer to the club, there's a role for everyone!
Volunteering is a great way to learn, meet fellow members, and help keep GMSC strong.

⚓ Crew & Community

Community is a cornerstone of GMSC.  Beyond racing and regattas, the club is built on shared time on the water, long-standing friendships, and the connections that form dockside and in the clubhouse.  Whether you're sailing every weekend or joining when you can, those relationships are what make GMSC special.
