the Sailing Club

A dozen or so boats had been sailing informally on various community lakes since the mid 1980s. On March 28, 1992: “Commodore Gus Gustafson called the first official meeting of the SLSC to order at 9:30 am. There were 19 members in attendance.” . . . from the minutes taken by John Nolan

Since then the Sailing Club (SLSC) has organized events on and around beautiful Lake Auman (West End, NC). These events include sailboat races, a Learn-to-Sail course, sailboat tours around the lake and many social activities. All sizes of sailboats participate in the racing events thanks to the Portsmouth handicap system. The SLSC, also, includes many events for power boaters. Our social events include after-race BYOB Events, Boat Parades, Rafting Parties, Banquets and more. The Events page on this web site provides you some idea of what we do during a year. The Seven Lakes Sailing Club is open to any Seven Lakes resident or landowner who has an interest in the water or in boat related social events.
