About the series

Off-season evenings, on the water's terms

Each winter the club brings in speakers with a real connection to the harbor — boatbuilders, ocean scientists, offshore racers, historians, and the people who keep Newport's waterfront running.

Doors and the optional buffet dinner at 6:00 pm, presentation at 6:30. There is no charge to attend and members are welcome to host guests; dinner reservations are made through the member site.

Know someone who should be up there?

The committee especially wants ideas from members with a personal connection to the speaker. Boating, oceanic topics, coastal culture — all fair game.
