DescriptionRace Committee members and officers of Off-Soundings Club (and several wives) pose for a group portrait, 1966. Founded in 1933 with the objective of promoting "good fellowship between men actively interested in sailing," the club draws most of its membership from Long Island Sound and Narragansett Bay, but it has long had a small but active Buzzards Bay contingent. Its celebrated spring and fall series of races for cruising-class boats attract top competitive sailors.
