Opening day date will be set when the park re-opens
(10:00 until early afternoon) join your friends and pitch in to help open facilities and get the club ready for the season.
This will be an excellent chance to catch up after winter, meet new members, and work together to get the club houses, grounds and equipment ready for the upcoming sailing season. Both outside work and inside cleaning will be required. For outside work, come prepared with proper footwear and work gloves. Bring rain gear if the forecast calls for precipitation.
Grounds/Harbour Masters, Al and Garth, will have a list of tasks needing to be completed on that day.
Saturday August 17th. From the club, it didn’t look like much wind on the lake, but when the race committee went out to set the marks, there was a gentle and variable breeze blowing from the North East. Those conditions lasted for the afternoon, creating typical challenging Falcon racing conditions. Eight boats were on the start line.

At noon Saturday, August 12, the weather was not promising, with rain clouds about and no wind on the lake, but an hour later, a breeze filled in from the SE, allowing a course to be set. A dozen sailboats set out as Phil and Deb headed out in the club motor boat to run the race. The wind came and went, moved about, and the rain sputtered a little, but we completed four races, and had a delightful BBQ in the evening.

Weather was nice for the annual club clean-up day. Good turnout resulted in lots of work accomplished. Boats were set up in the yard, the lawn mowed, the buildings cleaned, and the club is ready to go for another season.
Thanks to Deb and Brian for organizing a BBQ lunch for all in attendance.
The board held a meeting at lunch time.
On Sunday, we had a good turn out for training on how to use the club motorboats.
Very windy both Saturday and Sunday, but the weather was much drier than forecast. Possibly because of the forecast, not much of a turn out for open house day, and rough conditions for taking people out for a sail, but we managed to give a few people a thrilling sailing experience.
On shore hospitality was awesome, thanks to Debbie and Brian Woods.
Saturday BBQ was also delightful, with a workable combination of wind and mosquitoes! Great chance to visit, good food, and excellent atmosphere.
The keel boat race on Sunday had to be cancelled because winds were gusting over 20 knots.
Hopefully next Friday, Canada Day, weather conditions will allow us to run the first dinghy race.
