Calling all sailors...

Greetings folks,

For some reason, we have a great sailing lake here in Utah Valley and many other great sailing lakes nearby, yet no organization dedicated to racing small sailboats on these lakes! Our goal is to change that. Our mission is to build our fleet, to host some fun races, and to enjoy the water here in central Utah. Who knows, maybe in some future year an Olympian might rise from our midst.....

The plan for 2009 is to host some informal regattas on Saturday afternoons, at about 3:00 PM mainly on Utah Lake. We're looking for daysailers and catamarans to particpate in these regattas, but are welcoming all interested parties. If you're interested in sailing, join us. I'll update this blog with location, date, and time information. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to comment.

So far I've posted an ad on KSL classifieds and have had about 10 responses. I've also spoken with Brett Bingham of Utah Sailing and he's been very supportive -- we have an ad posted on his site as well. I'll be speaking with Todd Frye of the Bonneville School of Sailing soon as well as linking up with the BYU sailing club. It's my hope that we'll get some good showings for our Saturday afternoon Regattas.
