Hempstead Bay Sailing Club
Located in the picturesque town of Island Park, NY, on the vibrant South Shore of Long Island, our sailing club offers an exceptional experience for both novice and experienced sailors alike. Situated on the serene shores of Hempstead Bay, our club is blessed with stunning views of the shimmering waters and the iconic New York City skyline on the horizon. With an emphasis on camaraderie, adventure, and skill-building, we pride ourselves on creating a welcoming atmosphere for sailors of all ages. Whether you seek the thrill of racing, the tranquility of cruising, or simply wish to enjoy the beauty of the sea, Hempstead Bay Sailing Club is the perfect destination for passionate sailors to call home.
Join us as we kick off the 2026 season at Hempstead Bay Sailing Club's annual Commissioning ceremony.
It's our favorite tradition of the year, when we officially raise the colors, welcome new and returning members, and toast another summer on the bay. Stick around for dinner and dancing as we celebrate the start of the season together. Bring the family, bring your appetite, and help us send the fleet off in style. RSVP to Pete by May 16 so we can save you a seat.
Weather
Our Weather Station is installed as far as possible from any building to get the best wind readings. It also captures rain fall and lightning strikes. See more details on the dedicated page.
Tides
It is essential to know the tides when sailing in the Great South Bay as it will determine where you can go based on the draft of your boat. Events and races at the Hempstead Bay Sailing Club are planned around NOAA tide predictions for the Parsonnage Cove station.
The widget below shows the tides for the next few days from TidesPro.
