St. Mary's Sailing Club

A new season is upon us with high water levels! We've had few Wednesday nite race nights and so many more are ahead of us this summer.
Heres a grand review of our first nite from longtime member, Richard:

April Racing at SMSC (first time ever?)
First Wednesday eve racing started at 6:30pm April 29 with 10° temp and 5 knot wind - both dropped significantly, then the wind popped back up again for a nice but chilly sail into the club at 8:30pm. We sailed close to the club in East Bay. Three hardy participants used jackrabbit starts so no countdown or race committee was needed. Then for race 3 we did a pursuit with start orders based upon race 2 time differences. All were in Lasers. Here's Richard's boat ready for casting-off onto the flooded lawn, and Rob and Vincent standing in the Laser ghetto in front of a St. Mary sunset.

One of our intrepid sailors tried to take on Henderson Lake today! No wind and not quite enough water foiled his attempt, but keep an eye out for our sailors another day this summer!

We’ve got some pretty wild flooding this year! It’s a sail in club 😂

We had an absolutely gorgeous day for the club opening, the 2025 season has begun! Although the water was a bit chilly when tested by our brave swimmer 🥶 We are planning to hold loosely organized racing days Wednesday evenings and Saturdays through the season. It’s going to be a great summer.

Im sure you've all heard about the win recently, but wouldn't this be cool to see on our reservoir? The world needs more Canadal!
