Auction of 2 Flying Junior sailboats

Submitted by Dorothy Hill on

Hello- Now is your chance to get your own Flying Junior sailboat. LCYC is silent auctioning 2 of our older FJ hulls; the auction to conclude on July 13, the night of the Boat Tour and Tag Sale. Bid early and often. A container to register your bids will be placed on each boat, which will be displayed on a trailer (not included) on the club grounds for the next few weeks. Once they're gone, they're gone. Don't delay. Any questions, call Dorothy Hill or email at: cyuins@aol.com

Summer 2007

Submitted by Tyler Colvin on

So it is that time of year again, the time of year when we all are starting to think about what is going on in the Summer of 2007. I know it seems like a long ways away, but it will be here sooner then any of us think (thank goodness, the end of school nears....). Any input you have about the program and how you think it should be structured is welcome.

Junior Sailing: Class Length

Submitted by John Hill on

My name is John Hill. I began the junior sailing program when I was eight years old. I have been coming to the club every summer since then. I am now 16. I think that the two week "sessions" are too short to teach someone how to sail a small boat, or any boat for that matter. When I began the program the "session" lasted for the whole summer 8 weeks. I, however, thought that was too long. The optimum time for sailing camp would be four weeks. I am going to suggest this to my mother who is the program director.
