Thanks to all of our Lady racers and their Tramp crew who came out to race today. Also a big thanks to R/C.

Don’t go to Inland Sailing for the June meeting, no one will be there. Like last year, the June meeting is a BBQ at the lake (clubhouse) Tuesday June 11 starting at 3pm. The club will be providing burgers / dogs and members can bring sides/salads/desserts/drinks to share. Hope to see everyone out there and we will be awarding trophies for the Spring racing at this event sometime between 6:30 and 7:30pm. Weather is looking nice with a high around the mid 80's.

Notice of race with entry form is now available.

The FLYC olympic circle race course and south fork will still be available for recreational use while boats in the north fork will be required to stay outside of the BWW exclusion zone. http://bigwakeweekend.com/

Hi Everyone, I would like to share the clubs response to one of this years Cam Cup racers that was very disappointed in the race management and our planning for the weekend. As volunteers we can only do so much to keep everyone happy but this racer made several good points and I want others to see our response and know that all feedback good or bad is welcome. Feel free to discuss and or post your own suggestions for next year. Thanks, Mark

Another great turn-out from the membership last night! If the numbers keep up we could run out of chairs (which is a good problem to have). Everyone enjoyed snacks and drinks provided by the club and had some great questions for Bob Richards on his Big Wake Weekend presentation.

The April meeting will be our Beer Can racing kick-off with a presentation from Mike Meyers on everything you need to know for beer can racing.

The general club presentation can be found here.

In trying to fix something else, I totally broke the Photos and Media section...

UPDATE: It's back, in a new and different form.  A couple of albums got lost and will take some time to recover.  Let me know if you see any issues.
