Mill Creek County Park in Berkely will be the site for the new Ocean County College Sailing Center.
The college will spend $850,000 on the project; the proposal includes a 1,400-square-foot sailing boat house, a 1,456-square-foot boat storage building, and a floating dock that Wilkins said would allow them to roll the boats right into the water for practice, then roll them back into the storage facility afterward - is a great feeling.
The OCC sailing club is open to all full time OCC students. NO experience is necessary to join!
Students learn how to sail and then learn how to race. OCC has an intercollegiate sailing team that sails against the top four-year schools in the nation. The college is committed to providing a first class sailing experience and training ground for our future skippers and crew members in Ocean County.
OCC has acquired 18 new 420s from generous donations from the surrounding community. They have a intercollegiate team that competes in the Middle Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association. They host both a spring and fall regatta in which eighteen schools compete and sail in regattas every weekend in the fall and six weekends in late spring.
They currently sail three days a week at the Toms River Yacht Club on the Toms River. In April of 2010 the OCC sailing team qualified and sailed in the MAISA Championship regatta and came in first in three regattas.
