Join Our Sailing Club

We encourage our members to take full advantage of the natural beauty of Hoover Reservoir and Hoover Park administered by the Columbus Parks and Recreations. Areas of the north end of Hoover Reservoir are a wetland and bird sanctuary, with a diverse bird population. Unfortunately, the north end of Hoover Reservoir is not accessible via a tall-masted catamaran sailboat, so some of our members use their smaller masted monohulls, Kayaks or Windsurfers to explore the northern area of the lake.

The Columbus Sailing Club has two membership options: Sailor or Kayaker.
Both memberships are for an individual joining the club. There is a separate fee for the craft and/or trailer. Separate fees for each craft provide simplicity in pricing your membership. Separate fees for the craft adds flexibility for sailors who owns two sailboats and one trailer, or a kayaker who owns a kayak and a windurfer or canoe etc. Trailers may be kept on the property year round. We have pricing examples in the FAQ's below.

Simply put, buy the appropriate membership, add as many craft as needed, that's your total.
