Welcome Aboard!
The Seven Lakes Sailing Club is a group of primarily Seven Lakes West residents who have an interest in sailing. We organize a program of events that includes sailboat races around defined courses on beautiful Lake Auman, learn-to-sail courses, informal sailing events for non-sailors and social activities. The racing events are run with all sizes of sailing boats from Sunfish to J-22 using the Portsmouth handicap system. Our social events include after-race BYOB’s, Boat Parades, Rafting Parties, Lobsterfest, Banquet, etc.
/>The club also includes many pontoon boat and powerboat members who have interests in sailing and in our social activities. You don’t need to have a boat to join and enjoy the sailing and social events of the club. For more information contact the Club Commodore, Bob Fewkes at commodore.slsc@gmail.com. Membership fee for a family is $25 per year.
Ahoy all,
It was good to see so many people at the BYOB Saturday.
Several items of business:
- Bill Eisel reported that someone accidentally picked up their black shoulder bag cooler on Saturday evening after the BYOB which contained two ice bricks, some empty bottles and a very sentimental church key. Hopefully it will be recovered. Please call Bill Eisel 910-400-3094 if you found the bag.
- The kayak tour on Saturday May 25th will begin at 10 AM from Johnson Point, led by Ben Benjamin. It ends when you get tired and head home.
- We will make up the first sailing boat race on Sat. May 25th at 1 PM. The course layout will be posted on the website.
- If you would like to participate in the boating poker game on Saturday June 22nd please sign up by return email so I can anticipate how many cards I will need. The rules are: 1) you may use any non power boat with any number of people on board (in most cases that will be one). 2) you may gather your poker hand at any time during the day Saturday June 22nd. 3) bring your cards to the BYOB/Pizza party at 5 PM that evening at Johnson Point. When I know how many players to expect, I will send out a notice telling you how many cards to collect and which buoys they will be attached to.
- If you (or someone you know) is planning to take the Learn To Sail Course starting June 17th please send me your/their name and contact information by return email. So far I don't know exactly who plans to attend. Please help me with this. I have three people on an alternate list that we will go to if we actually don't have the 10 students who earlier said they would take the course.
Thanks,
Commodore Paul
