2013 Calendar - Our 76th Year!

Here is a list of club events for the season. The calendar will be updated if our schedule changes. If no location is listed, the event will be held out at the club.

This page is under construction; some of the dates are subject to change as we plan the 2013 season.

Events at the club are held outdoors, so there may be last-minute postponements or cancellations due to the weather.

Guests are invited to come out to the club twice free of charge at any time. Some events may require advance registration or special skills, however.

Boats are available on a first-come first-serve basis for open sailing at all times that the club is open except during Saturday boat school and major regattas.


MARCH

Boat-in: Saturday, March 16, at 10 AM
Help us get ready for dock-in and the upcoming sailing season. We will haul the boats out of the boathouse, reassemble them on the lawn, and determine what needs repair.

APRIL

Club hours Early season weekend hours TBD. We will announce opening hours on the email lists and on the front page of the website.

We'll rig the crashboat and sail from shore until dock-in.  After dock-in, the club will be open for sailing Saturdays and Sundays, approximately noon to 4pm, depending on the weather.
Dock-In tentative Saturday, April 13 at 9 AM

This date is tentative, pending seasonal weight restrictions. We will announce a firm date once it is set.

Help us open the club for spring. We will set up the floating dock, get the fleet ready to sail, and disassemble the winter storage racks in the boathouse.

Please wear old clothes and bring work gloves if you have them.

We do need a few people in wet suits and waders, and a few more in waterproof boots.
