Grand River Sailing Club

Welcome to Grand River Sailing Club

The Grand River Sailing Club (GRSC) is a vibrant community of sailing and cruising enthusiasts located in Lake County, Ohio. Our members enjoy a full season of on-the-water activities from May through October, including competitive racing and relaxed cruising. Off the water, we host a variety of social events throughout the year that strengthen our community and celebrate our shared passion for sailing.

Our Spring, Summer, and Fall racing series, along with the annual August regatta, follow the Performance Handicap Racing Formula (PHRF) and United States Sailing (US Sailing) standards. GRSC is proudly affiliated with both the Inter-Lake Yachting Association (I-LYA) and the Cleveland Sailing Association (CSA) and Nor’East Ohio Sailing Association (NEOSA).
