    • Dave Vietti Gets Ready to Sail

    Neil Harrison and Mike Moody dominated the top spot in last Wednesday evening racing. Neil had three first place finishes in his Sunfish as did Mike in his Laser.

    Jim Fletcher borrowed a Laser to try it out - and posted three third place finishes. George Siegle claimed a first place in the Laser class and had three seconds too. Bob Miller had the remaining third spot.

    Among the other Sunfish sailors, Dave Vietti hit for the circuit, recording a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Alanna Harvey came in with two seconds, Dennis Dudley got the remaining 2nd and two third place finishes as well. Michael-Soloman Jost got the other third place finish.

    Results will be posted soon on the LSC web site at www.lansingsailing.org. Go to the Racing page and click your favorite fleet emblem.

    Junior Sailors Fighting Light Air


    Coach Quensen Helps Junior Sailors
    Picture by Jonathan Ahlbrand

    Junior sailors at LSC have seen light air this year. In each of their three sessions so far, wind has been elusive on Tuesday evenings. Although last Tuesday saw the wind come up quickly in association with a passing storm - and several juniors got a chance to practice their capsize recovery techniques.

    However, they are still making great progress. Several have even migrated to Lasers as their skill level is quickly advancing. Even the newest of these sailors is making their boat go.

    Next Tuesday there will be no Junior Sailing because Fourth of July celebrations will be in swing at the Club - but the schedule resumes on Tuesday, July 11th.

     

    Saturday Morning Work Party

    Don't forget our Saturday morning work party tomorrow (July 1) at 10 am. Rear Commodore Jim Fletcher needs some volunteers to help with some things that need to be done at the Club.

    Sunfish Boom Sling - Check it Out

    Doug Carlson has come up with an ingenious device to quickly raise the Sunfish Boom for cruising and instruction. This simple and easy to use tool is available in the Sail Shed along with instructions on how to use it.

    Check it out, pictures and all, at the LSC web site: www.lansingsailing.org.
