North Star Sail Club is a proud member-run organization, established in 1946 to promote the sport of sailing on beautiful Lake St. Clair. We’re proud members of DRYA, ABYRA, ABYA, ILYA, USSA, and Yachting Clubs of America.
With a vibrant community and unbeatable location on the south shore of the Clinton River, NSSC offers exceptional value—whether you’re here for the boating, the camaraderie, or both. Members enjoy access to reasonably priced boat wells, use of the clubhouse and grounds, and a full calendar of racing, fun sails, cruising, and social events throughout the
year.
As a member-driven club, we thrive on active involvement. The more our members pitch in, the stronger our connections become—and the more we’re able to keep costs manageable for everyone.
Our Junior Sailing program is one of the most respected in the region, offering instruction for both juniors and adults—from beginner-level basics to advanced racing tactics. Many of our young sailors have earned recognition across the Great Lakes through competitive regattas.
We also host weeknight and weekend fun sails, races, and regattas, as well as organized cruising and social outings. The clubhouse and grounds are available for private events, giving members a beautiful space to host gatherings right on the water.
Becoming a member is easy. Just complete a short application and submit the $30 application fee—that’s it! Whether you’re looking to sail, learn to sail, or simply enjoy the social side of the club, visit our Membership page to learn more and take the first step.
