The Clear Lake Yacht Club Sailing School
is
gearing up for another exciting summer of sailing. Mark Tesar has taken
over the board presidency and Dodi Gooding has joined the board this year.
Elle Schurtz will return as the Program Director and Head Instructors will
be Nathan Kotz for X-boats and Jon Osmundson for Optis.
As always, the Sailing School will try to blend fun and learning in a
low-pressure environment. Our mission is to give our students both the
basic knowledge needed to sail and a lifelong enjoyment of sailing.
We will continue to have the one week sessions for those who have visitors or short stays — the longer sessions are now 11-12 days in duration and the X-boat program again has expanded its length of class time to 4.75 hours. Three levels of Opti and X instruction and an Adult Class will be offered.
Enrollment in our adult program has been strong and we will continue to hold classes on Tuesday nights beginning June 16 and running through July 21. Private lessons are also available from any of our instructors. Use your own boat or we’ll provide a sailing school boat. Contact the Sailing School at 641-357-8001 to set up private lessons.
Family Fun Night Potlucks are scheduled for Friday, June 26th and Wednesday, July 29th. All CLYC members and anyone that might be interested in sailing school are welcome to attend. We will provide the grills, instructors, sailboats, and some racing with fun prizes for the attendees. Bring your meat to grill, beverages, and a dish to share. Fun nights start at 6:00 pm at the yacht club building.
We will host a “No Tears” Opti regatta at the Clear Lake Yacht Club on Wednesday, July 29th, which is always a lot of fun. Lake Harriet (Minnesota) will host the ILYA No Tears West Opti regatta on Friday, July 17th, and we expect to take several boats from Clear Lake to that event.
CLYCSS Registration forms will be mailed to CLYC members in the Crow’s Nest and past sailing school families. If additional forms are required, they will be available from the Clear Lake Parks and Recreation office, at the CLYC, or online at www.clyciowa.com for complete information, calendar, and registration forms- click on Sailing School.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact Mark Tesar at mtesar@netins.net or 641-357-8642. We will be implementing teaching techniques from the US Sailing instructor training. We look forward to working with you and your children. They are the future of the CLYC.
The Board of the CLYC Sailing School would like to thank the entire CLYC for their wonderful support and donations.
