Welcome to Rudder Club of Jacksonville
For 78 years, The Rudder Club has been a cherished sailing and yachting community on the beautiful St. Johns River. Since our founding in 1946, we have been dedicated to fostering a love for boating and the outdoors in a family-friendly environment. At The Rudder Club, children grow up with the sport of sailing as an integral part of their lives, creating lasting memories and friendships.
As a member-owned sailing club, we pride ourselves on maintaining low running costs and ensuring that financial and strategic decisions are made by our elected Flag Officers and Board of Directors. This unique structure empowers our members to have a direct impact on the direction and success of the club.
When you join The Rudder Club, you become an essential part of our vibrant community. We encourage all members to actively participate in our social and racing events, enriching the experience for everyone. For those passionate about shaping the future of The Rudder Club, there are opportunities to serve as elected Flag Officers, Board Members, Sailing Instructors, Junior Sailing Program Directors, Summer Camp Directors, and Race Officers, all in accordance with our By-Laws.
Join us at The Rudder Club and be a part of a legacy that celebrates the spirit of sailing, community, and adventure.
