Join us for our annual Open house this weekend, Sunday June 2nd, 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. It’s a great opportunity for anyone who is curious about sailing, or interested in learning about our club’s facilities, our Youth Sailing Summer Camp, or who may be interested in taking sailing lessons themselves. Please come out and go for a sail with our members. Some refreshments/light lunch will be provided. Learn why sailing is such an enjoyable and environmentally friendly sport!

Yes, it’s finally club opening this Saturday !!!! Sailing season is starting!
It is hard to believe, but the snow is long gone, and the water level seems to be back down to the upper end of the target range.
We’ve had some April showers, but the sun will hopefully be out, and we should have a great Opening Day.
We start around 9:30 AM and there is a lot to do for everyone. Many hands make light work. The task list will be added in the next day or so – check back for updates. You can also Email any questions to our Shore Captain.
The grounds could still be a little wet, so bring your boots along with your work clothes, and preferably something dry/warm to change into just in case.
Lunch will be provided.
A few other items:
Registration for Youth camps and CANSail lessons are also open. If you know anyone who may be interested in learning to sail, pass on the links and make sure to invite them to the open house.
That’s it for now, see you Saturday.
Sailing season is quickly approaching.

On behalf of the board, we are looking forward to seeing you.
