Ship Point

The beauty of the Corsica River is well known.

Our pavilion reflects our casual attitude.

We have and will continue to host many different types of dingy sailing events (Comet North Americans, Penguin Internationals, Junior Olympics). If you would like CRYC to host your dingy event, contact the Commodore. We also have enough room to provide camping.

The beach where we can launch smaller boats from the water.

The pristine beach, thanks to Andy Wood and Luke Phipps.

Standing up on top of the newly formed beach looking back to where we normally launch the boats from the beach. You can see how the tide has washed a great deal of sand up onto the point.

The point at Ship Point as seen from the pier. Centreville was a very active port before and after the Revolutionary War... as evidenced by the quaint "Captain's Houses" in town. Ships that came to Centreville to pick up or drop off product would anchor out on Emory Cove... hence we get the name of the point... Ship Point. And now the sailing continues at Ship Point.

The Corsica River is a great place for smaller boats (Opti's, Lasers, 420's) to sail. There is very little boat traffic and it provides a convenient sail to the race courses. Larger boats, or large events, can expand out into the Chester River giving us multiple race courses for multiple classes with only a slightly longer sail time to the race course.

Our dock now sports a boat life for getting larger one-design boats (like Comets) in and out of the water.

During our Annual and Junior regattas we provide extra shade for our participants. The pavilion has picnic tables, and men's and women's restrooms with showers.

Lasers, Opti's, and smaller one-design boats are launched from our sandy beach.

Floating docks provide a convenient way to store our 420's.

Ship Point has deep water on the pier side or our site. Sailing ships anchored here in this safe harbor before picking up or discharging goods at the Centreville Wharf.
