  LPSC Members and Guests
  

  Join us for our March General Meeting on St. Patrick's Day.

  

  No host dinner starts at 6:00 and the meeting is at 7:00.

  Perhaps you are a new member and new to sailing. You may have joined us for a Guest Sail, or you may have been a member for a while but don’t own a boat. You enjoy getting out on the water when the opportunity arises to sail with another member on their boat. You may not yet own a sailboat but are considering the possibilities.

  You may have considered taking a learn to sail course, perhaps Basic Keelboat, ASA 101. This is not that course. At this meeting we will discuss the basics of acting as crew on a small sailboat on an inland lake like Lake Pleasant. The goal is for participants to become familiar with what will be going on when they sail and perhaps prepare you to begin to participate hands on. We welcome captains and experienced crew to participate with additional suggestions throughout the evening. We welcome questions too!
  

  We will start with the basics  – What you need to know before you leave the dock and finish up with information about what kinds of courses you can take and what you can do next to continue your learning journey.

  Tom Errickson, the owner of The Sailboat Shop will be leading this discussion.
  

  Plan on joining us and get there early for a good seat!

  The LPSC Guest Sail event, “where sailors meet sailors”, is open to the public with and without boats to promote:

  • the sport/hobby of sailing
  • introduce potential members to our club
  • and to provide sailing opportunities for our currently ‘boatless’ LPSC          members

  Non-Member BYOB (Bring Your Own Boat): If you have your own sail or power boat, come join us to see what you are missing.

  If you don’t have a boat, LPSC host skippers are making room on their boats for “new” crew to experience sailing on Lake Pleasant. Space is limited and priority will be given to those who have not had the chance to sail with us before.

  Tentative start time 11:00 am. This could change slightly based on wind conditions. All participants will meet at Pleasant Harbor Marina in front of Dillon's. LPSC members are encouraged to arrive 10-15 minutes early to help us greet our non-member guests.

  After we assign non-boaters to boats, we will set out for a couple hours of sailing and then plan a raft up for some social time and a bit to eat.  Bring a bag lunch for yourself and feel free to bring something to share at the raftup.

  
  We cannot offer these events without members willing to participate as a host boat skipper. If you would like to help us by attending as a host boat skipper, please register as a host.
