Dave! why not consider joining East Enders YC out of Burlington NJ! Most of us actually belong to
Anchor Yacht Club in Bristol PA (acros the river) most races are on thursday nights. and there are many picnic and activities all through the season. you can find boat clubs online too. My boat is a ODay 30 and allthough I don't race it much I do crew on other boats quite often. many new to sailing people join us too!
PM me if you would like more info
take care!
