About This Event

Thank you for your interest in joining us.  We are currently sold out for our fundraiser on Thursday, August 14, 2025.  Wind and Water will be a fabulous evening along the shore to benefit Sail Newport’s important mission of providing public access to sailing for all!

We've created the perfect summer evening in Newport.  Under a beautiful tent with a spectacular harbor view, guests will enjoy refreshing signature cocktails and delightfull hors d'oeuvres, a delicious three-course meal prepared by McGraths Clambakes and Catering, an exciting live auction and dancing to the renowned band, Decades By DeZyne.

To add to the fun, our friends from Barton & Gray Mariners Club will welcome guests aboard a Barton & Gray yacht during cocktails and a J/7, Sail Newport's new fleet arriving in 2026 to replace the J/22s, will be on hand.

The live auction will showcase unique experiences to motivate the bidding, including a fantastic stay at the renowned Bitter End Yacht Club.  For guests already missing the snow, a slopeside ski and stay adventure at Sunday River, and for those who wish summer never ended, a McGraths Clambake for a crowd right here at Sail Newport, with the option for some sailing included. 

Wind and Water will be a great party you won't want to miss!  We hope will join us to support a great cause!

The event will be held at Sail Newport and take place rain or shine.
