It was a fantastic weekend to have 18 women – both members and non-members, experienced and beginners, and several returning participants - come together for two beautiful days on the water. Coaches Holly Sears and Anne-Kinsey Wash started Saturday morning off with chalk talks for the Racing Fundamentals class and the Sailing Basics class respectively, then both groups got on the water, in eight Flying-Scots, two ILCAs, and one Melges.
In 5-8 knots of breeze, the beginners took off two to a boat, each with an on-the-water instructor and a student in the driver’s seat; they covered the points of sail, sail trim, boat speed …

The spring sailing season is right here. If you've been to the club recently, you may have noticed that the yard is looking pretty full...and not all of our boats are on the yard yet.
If you are a leaseholder, your renewal included a 2024 sticker. We need you to get that on your boat in the rear starboard corner.
By opening day, less than four weeks from now, we will have reconciled the stickered boats on the yard to the known leaseholders list. Boats without leases, will be moved to the drysail area until leases and proof of insurance can be obtained.
The club policy requires trailers to be in roadworthy condition. As part of the spring yard …
