Sailing Club Celebration – July 14th!

by

Dear Friends, Family and Neighbours of the Sturgeon Lake Sailing Club,

Please join us for cocktails in celebration of our newly constructed, and nearly completed, exciting new building and the wonderful community that made it possible!

When:  Saturday, July 14th from 7:00 to 8:30p.m.
(The weekly Friday evening junior club dance will be moved to Saturday and held at the same time in the “old” building in order to accommodate childcare)

Where: S.L.S.C.’s New Building

There’ll be an open wine & beer bar, and some fabulous finger foods.

These festivities will be immediately followed by a good ole fashioned Sailing Club Dance for grown-­ups. So polish up your boogie shoes and prepare to bust a move (and hopefully nothing else) to a great selection of your favourite S.L.S.C. dance tunes!

Dress: Your best tight white suit or polyester mini dress. Failing that, comfortable and casual!

Donations to the “Building Fund” will be gratefully accepted.

We’re looking forward to seeing you!

EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

The SLSC (Sturgeon Lake Sailing Club) is letting the adults share in some of the fun and excitement that the kids have been enjoying for so many summers. If you’re looking for something different to do this Saturday, or if you’ve had a hankering to get out on the water to try some sailing, this is your chance. You’ll receive 3 hours of expert instruction from Kate Thomas and her fellow instructors. The clinic is open to anyone 17 years or older and it will cost $75/person. This sounds like a great opportunity and is sure to be lots of fun. Please contact Kate directly at (705) 887-7109 or email her at: [email protected]

Sturgeon Lake Sailing Club hosting the MIDS August 6th-7th

by

The Point continues to be an active place, even after last weekend’s busy Regatta weekend .The SLSC is hosting the 2011 Mid Ontario Regatta this weekend. This is a competitive event that attracts many young sailors from all over the Province, year after year. As a result you’ll probably notice some additional activity this weekend, both on and off the water.

The SLSC has a great reputation for putting on the regattas, and the hospitality that Sturgeon Point shows every year plays an important role. Thanks to all of you who are billeting, feeding, or otherwise helping all of the sailors and visitors to our Village this weekend.

Let’s hope for sun and wind!

If you’d like to know more about this event or the club, please visit the SLSC’s web site.

Sturgeon Lake Sailing Club Awarded Regatta of the YEAR!

by

On January 28, 2011, the Canadian Yachting Association announced that Sturgeon Lake Sailing Club was the winner of the 2010 CYA Regatta of the Year. The CYA City of Kingston Regatta of the Year Award will be presented by CYA to SLSC for its hosting of the 2010 Canadian Laser Masters Championships that took place over 3 days of great sailing in July 2010.

The Masters Regatta involved a huge effort from an army of Sturgeon volunteers – it was in every way a community wide effort.  Many people provided beds to the sailors; many prepared the community breakfasts and dinners; many were on the water helping out; the harbour team got boats launched and back to shore; the scorers were timely; the prizes were wonderful…The masters sailors – aged 35 to 77- raved about the accommodations, about the meals, about the racing, about the surroundings and above all about how organized and helpful and friendly the volunteers were.  The Sailing Club extends a giant thank you to everyone who pitched in to make this regatta what it was – the best in Canada for 2010!
