• Rockland Friends of the Clearwater is Rockland County's local sloop club. RFOC is associated with the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater and is an affiliate of the Friends of the Nyacks. It was formed in 1999 at the personal request of Pete Seeger (who lived in Rockland as a boy) and who always wanted a sloop club in Rockland County.

What is our mission?

• The mission is to support the Clearwater's efforts to preserve and protect the ecology of the Hudson River Valley, with a special focus on Rockland County. RFOC does this through direct efforts and by engaging in activities near and on the Hudson River that promote environmental awareness and a commitment to the preservation of the Hudson River Valley.
