Spring is here and the Lord Calvert Yacht Club has a case of spring fever. It's a whole new spirit this year for a club that has been active since 1960 with a diverse membership from young professionals to old salts who have never been dry behind the ears. We have acquired a new waterfront property location and clubhouse facility. We have teamed up with Town Creek Point Marina in California, Md. A full range of club activities is scheduled including: raft-ups, cruises, crab feasts, a chili cook off and dock party to name a few.

We are looking to the future and at becoming the Premier Yacht Club in the Pax River area. You are invited to catch the fever and join the spirit of the most sociable yacht club on the Chesapeake -- where power and sail go hand in hand.
