It is so good to see activity at the club! Boats are being launched, sailors are gathering and telling their tales, and Social is gearing up for the first event!
May is here time to get sailing. Trailer lot is open please put your trailer up there when you launch your boat. The power sprayer is down for the moment. If you need to wash your boat there is a gas powered sprayer in the power sprayer shed.
The work lot has several boats parked there please remove them as soon as possible. I have several small and large jobs that need to be done at the docks. If you are interested and want work credits please contact me. Dennis Robertson (317)-three three nine-7371
The Laser Regatta was a success during the last weekend of April with a total ten boats participating in the event! It was great seeing everyone there, considering how cold the weather was that weekend. Saturday came with heavy winds, but everyone pushed through and was very competitive throughout the races. There was plenty of lead changes in through the day in the full rig class, which made things exciting going into the second day. Sunday morning came with lighter winds and cold weather. Competition was close again this day and it was very enjoyable to watch. Thanks to everyone who came out to help pull this regatta off and to all the competitors for racing!
The ECSC Junior Sailing team is back in full swing! They have begun practicing on the water again and all participated in our Laser regatta in April to dust off some off-season rust. All of them performed exceptionally well and are getting faster every time they are on the water. Their next regatta is the 19th and 20th of this month at Indianapolis Sailing Club before they start back up on the I-LYA Travler’s Series circuit on June 2nd. We appreciate all the support for the program and we are looking forward to a great season! Good luck team!
Sailing camp is filled up! We are very excited about the increased interest in the camp every year! All of us continue to look forward to meeting the new sailors and helping the sailing community grow!
