Good news for club members! Pierre called and confirmed that the second mooring is now installed at Kingsland Bay. There are now six club moorings for use by club members. Four of the moorings are in Converse Bay and two moorings at Kingsland Bay. Hopefully the sun and weather will smile on us so their use will be enjoyed.

If the wind velocity could have equaled the number of Etchells that showed up for E3, we would have had a great day. With 7 boats on the line, winds in the first race got up to around 5 knots, allowing a double-windward leeward race. Mischief was first at the weather mark, following immediately by Pied Piper. At the leeward mark, Pied Piper rounded just ahead of 1300, with Mischief right behind, and continued its lead to finish first, followed by 1300.

With only two races completed because of light wind, this past Sunday’s E Series, which drew 7 boats, ended up with a 3-way tie for first between Hot Chocolate, Rascal and Senior Moment. That was followed by a two-way tie for fourth between Pied Piper and Rusty Truck.

Cruising

Lake Champlain offers some of the best freshwater cruising in North America. The beautiful scenery and charming lakeside destinations make it a great place to explore. LCYC organizes several rendezvous events. Spontaneous cruising events also materialize throughout the season. We have a number of scheduled events planned for the summer season. Cruisers are out and about just about every weekday and weekend throughout the summer.
