We welcome anyone to WRSC with a love of sailing or want to learn to sail, regardless of boat ownership, to become a part of our community. By joining our community, we expect you to be an active sailor and to contribute to the well-being of our club, and to spread the love of sailing. We assign each new member to a mentor to help you find a home within one of our fleets. The mentor helps you get to know the club, to show you the ropes, to bring you into the social fold of our club.

West River prides itself on being one of the most affordable clubs on the Chesapeake Bay. Our annual dues are low and our shared boat program offers a path to sailing that doesn't require the expenses of boat ownership. Making sailing within reach for younger generations and families is a focus of our club.s, Our Provisional and Associate Memberships offer a highly affordable entry into the sport and our club. WRSC's affordability is a result of our club being 100% volunteer-run. Whether it is volunteering for a board position, committee head, race committee, or club projects, every member is expected to pitch in around the club every now and then.  

Fill out the online application linked below. At the end of the application, there will be a link to continue onwards to pay your entry dues! Please follow that link and follow all directions. If you choose Pay-by-Check, mail it to WRSC Treasurer P.O. Box 6697, Silver Spring, MD 20916.
