LAKE EUSTIS SAILING CLUB

Fog, then light wind, then no wind, then changing wind did in the Lake Eustis Sailing Club’s Labor Day Regatta that was attempted this past Saturday and Sunday. This was to be the winter season opener for the club MC scows, Flying Scots and Wayfarers. They waited and waited, but couldn’t get any races in.

The Laser fleet, that sails a shorter course, managed 2 races on Saturday and 4 races on Sunday with High School sailor Ben Getchell winning all six races and the Championship. Second, but first adult was Alejandro Illera and third was Rob Krentel.

Optimist pram sailing lessons for youth ages 8 to 15 continues on Saturdays with High School Sailing Team practice on Saturday afternoons.

Next weekend Club Racing continues on Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday, September 19, from 4:30 to 6:30 is an open house for 8th to 12th grade students and parents to see what sailing is all about. Complimentary boat rides, pizza and soda are planned.

The first invitational regatta of the season is October 3 and 4, and is the annual catamaran regatta.
