I think we've got 14 members now. Pretty good considering this is the close of year two. I think anyway


I don't think, other than wives/crews, we have any non-owner members. Most are Hobies, our out of state member has an A-cat and "Flight Risk". There is also a F17, sorta, he just bought the boat in Florida and it hasn't made it up here yet.

Correction, we do have one catless owner, he does have a leaner up on Lake Superior though. He sold his H18 to another fleetmember.




I'd say about half race, maybe a bit less. Our fleet is built more on recreation sailing than anything. We host a regatta a year, but don't have any fleet racing. Realistically when we're on the water, we're racing anyway. It just isn't structured. Our one boatless crew member crew's on Reb's 18SX w/ a square top & spin.

Thanks, Karl. It appears that your fleet is ovecoming a geographical & climatological handicap. Your sailing season has to be short compared to the majority of the states which are south of of you. That's quite an accomplishment.
Do you have non-sailing social gatherings the remainder of the year?
Thanks, again, for sharng this with us.
