Stillhouse Sailing Club
LBYC participants in the Community Sailing Seminars are welcome to come and get orientated in small boat sailing. Be ready to hop on a boat (if available) and get wet! These sessions will get and keep you ahead of the game and prepare you for your 1st class! Also, if you have not done so, please stop by Franks Marina to pick up your training manual and log book. You may also bring your tuition.
Also, the UMHB students return to campus this week. Crusailors, come on down and start off the semister with some sailing!!!
The Club 420 has a new seal for the centerboard and is now ready for use. For those experienced, we also have all the rigging and new sail for the spinnaker! I expect to clean & polish the bottom today before I turn her over to be rigged. Don't forget, we have 5 Lasers available on the docks and may have a Sunfish available soon.
If you are a new LBYC member (4 new members) and are not on the Lake Belton Yacht Club Yahoo Groups, pease sign up ASAP! This site is where we announce our programs and post LBYC info to keep you informed!
The results for the summer keelboat series are posted on the Group Site. Robert Troy on his Catalina 30 and Andrew Fletcher on the LBYC owned Merit 25 are tied with 7 points each for 1st place!!! ONLY ONE MORE RACE LEFT to determine the winner! HOW ABOUT THAT 14 YEAR OLD DOING SO WELL with only 9 month experience!!
This fall Keelboat Fun Race Series, LBYC member Pat Ludlow will have the Merit 25 and will be instructing UMHB or Sailing Program students on Basic Keelboat Sailing. Let us know early and reserve a spot if you want to crew on this fast boat!!!
Please print the new LBYC Race Schedule and Cruise Schedule from the Yahoo Group website because we have made changes for you to mark on your calendar. Also, look for scheduled dates and application for our COMMUNITY SAILING PROGRAM this fall.
See you on the lake!
