Carol Terryberry grew up sailing on the Chesapeake Bay where she enjoyed both cruising and racing in large sailboats and one-designs. After taking sailing lessons at Hampton Yacht Club (HYC) as a child, she became an instructor as a teenager. Carol served as the Head Instructor for three years, managing approximately 120 kids for eight weeks each summer. Carol also ran a women’s sailing program at HYC with over fifty participants.

In 2001, after relocating to Elizabeth City, Carol started the Pasquotank River Yacht Club’s Junior Sailing camp.  The camp served about 40 kids per summer, sparking the founding of River City Community Sailing.

ABOUT OUR FOUNDER

Spread the word:, read all about it, daily advance "favorable winds".

The River City Community Sailing Foundation’s vision is to increase the community’s access to and involvement in sailing, racing, and enjoyment of the natural beauty, ecological value, and historical significance of the Pasquotank River in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

OUR MISSION

The River City Sailing Foundation’s mission is to foster and facilitate recreational and competitive sailing, sportsmanship, water safety, teamwork, and community service for youth, families, and adults of Pasquotank and surrounding counties in Northeastern North Carolina.

OUR FOUNDATION

The RCCS Foundation is an organization that provides affordable coaching, training, and instruction in fundamental sailing skills.  The Foundation’s seminal program is the Youth Sailing Camp which utilizes “Reach,” U.S. Sailing’s national education initiative designed to inspire sailing programs and schools to utilize sailing as an educational platform for youth of all backgrounds.  The program modules are based on a STEM curriculum.

Our History

In 1903, Hampton’s boating enthusiasts founded the Virginia Yacht Club and in 1906 issued stock and erected a clubhouse on pilings at the foot of Victoria Boulevard. Interest dwindled during the Great War and the clubhouse fell into disrepair. In 1926, six men, not associated with the Virginia Yacht Club, formed the Hampton Yacht Club (HYC) and were ceded gratis the property of the old club. Since that time, HYC has been a yachting and social center of the Virginia Peninsula.

Power, as well as, sailboat racing were featured competitive activities in the early years with the Virginia Gold Cup being awarded for powerboat racing from 1933 to 1949. The club sponsored sailing events from small boat regattas featuring its own Hampton One Design sailboat to ocean racing events such as the 1941 Storm Trysail Club – HYC race from New London, Connecticut to Hampton. In 1995, the club sponsored the fifty-fifth running of the Virginia Cruising Cup from Annapolis to Hampton. However, HYC is considerably more than a yacht club for racing sailors. Sailing is truly a family affair, from the family of crew who laugh and party with each other after the Wednesday night and weekend races, to the families who cruise for a day or a week or more to explore life on the Chesapeake and beyond.
