                                      The Rio Grande Yacht Club in New Mexico hosts a full schedule of fall, winter, and spring races and regattas, as well as year-round social events and occasional overnight “raft-ups” and club cruises.

                                      Three full-service commercial marinas offer slips, moorings, fuel, and supplies to visiting sailors. Mast-raising poles, provided courtesy of the RGYC, are located near each marina. For convenience of the public, the RGYC operates a mast-up storage facility for sailboats near the Marina Del Sur launch ramps. (See the Mast-up Storage link.) Additional services, including boat repair, supplies, hardware, supermarkets, lodging, and restaurants are available in Elephant Butte and Truth or Consequences. Contact the RGYC for information on boat ramps, races and club events, local facilities, and marina slip information.

                                      Yacht clubs often have the image of exclusive membership requirements, which can cost many thousands of dollars a year to join. The clubs often have beautiful facilities with programs of interests for sailors of all interests.

                                      Our club does not have any of the buildings, docks, or facilities of many clubs but we do have an enthusiastic membership comprising the true assets of this club and a mast-up storage facility.The sailors in our club have a wide variety of interests and abilities that have volunteered much time and effort to make the successful organization it is today.

                                      We encourage you to make an effort to meet and interact with these sailors. If you are not currently active in club contact any of the club officers and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the club.
