The Race Committee is always looking for help on the Committee boat, please contact Doug Roberts at dm.roberts2@gmail.com to volunteer, as always no experience is necessary, we will train you. This is a good way to break into racing.

This is our home lake, let’s all try to help in this worthy event to keep it clean and pristine.

Larry Caillouet is missing a yellow sail bag with a sail from his Flying Scot in it. If you come across this somewhere, please notify Larry and stick it in the shed.
