Marine organizations around Oyster Bay and Cold Spring Harbor are sponsoring a Water Lovers’ Mixer at Oakcliff Sailing at 4 South St. in Oyster Bay on April 28 from 6 to 8 p.m.
The mixer will be a chance for people who own boats or have access to the water to connect with those who don’t but want to. Sailboat racers and cruisers, powerboaters, kayakers, rowers, kiters, paddleboarders, conservationists and anyone else looking to connect with other like-minded people are invited.
“This event will provide an opportunity for people who love the water but can’t always get out on it to appreciate the bays and help protect them,” Friends of the Bay President Bill Bleyer said. “It is also a great opportunity for the sponsoring organizations to let people know what they offer, from memberships to lessons or just getting more people on the water to race, cruise, or just fish and hang out.”
The event is free with refreshments provided by sponsors Friends of the Bay, Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club, Oyster Bay Community Rowing, Cold Spring Harbor Beach Club, Sagamore Yacht Club, Oakcliff Sailing and Regatta Craft Mixers.
“Oakcliff is the world’s premiere training and coaching center for sailing,” said Dawn Riley, Oakcliff’s Executive Director. “In 2010 it was created and designed to fit in-between the established water-based organizations in historically, eclectic Oyster Bay. We are happy that just over a decade later we are able to host this mixer to connect and highlight all of these organizations.”

OBCR is now the tenant of the Building H Boathouse in Oyster Bay. It’s the culmination of lots of work, and we couldn’t be happier!
We’re working on another house, this time in Bay Shore.
The clock ticks as the Town Board decides the fate of Building H, the Boathouse. The Oyster Bay Herald has an extensive article on it that you can read by clicking below.
We are asking members of our OBCR family to attend the cleanup in lieu of their athletes who will be at practice during that time.
This past weekend, our President, Dana Pagliara traveled to her alma mater with fellow rowing alumni to Chapel Hill to celebrate UNC Crew’s golden anniversary. It was a three day event with festivities highlighting the university’s rowing past, present and future. In February of 1970, the UNC Men’s Crew Club was born and received their […]
Recently, our varsity rowers worked with Habitat for Humanity to construct an affordable housing unit in Shirley. There was much to do, much to learn, and it was a worthwhile experience once that we will certainly be repeating.
For resident Dana Pagliara, life is but a dream. Dana is a master rower who sparked her love of the sport as a rower for the Women’s team at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 35 years ago, and a longtime proponent of what is most likely the oldest sport in America. She […]
