The ECSC Junior Sailing Team has had another very busy month! July started off with the team going to Mentor Harbor, Ohio for Junior Olympics. Both days consisted of very light wind and they got two races in. Reagan Lessick was 9th overall, Grant Goff placed 31st, and Jack Hadlock placed 34th. There was a great turn out at this regatta!

The ECSC Junior Sailing Team has had a very productive month! They had a regatta at Berlin Yacht Club that came with no wind and they only got one race started. Reagan Lessuck got a 13th, Jack Hadlock an 18th, and Olivia DeGrella got 31st out of 32 boats that weekend. Next the team went to Erie Yacht Club for the next race on the circuit. There was slightly more wind this regatta and they got off three races before they had to call it a day. Reagan Lessick got 9th, Grant Goff placed 30th, and Jack Hadlock placed 33rd out of the 33 boats that competed. Most Recently, Reagan traveled to Edgewater Yacht Club to participate in the Cleveland Race Week as they hosted a junior regatta. The day came with all different wind conditions, starting off light than building throughout the day to pretty heavy winds. She finished 15th out of 38 boats. Great job team!
The ECSC Junior Sailing Camp is under way! The first week went by smoothly. The 25 sailors in class that week were eager to sail every day and learned a lot, but most importantly they had a lot of fun! They played games on the water, like capture-the-flag, to help hone their developing skills. They learned some handy knots and many other things to help start them on the track to becoming great sailors! We look forward to seeing these campers around the club again next year for camp!

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!
