The
Lake Eustis One Design Sailing Club conducts 86 One Design
Club Races per season. Here is another great day of our
club’s
One Design Fleets racing on Lake Eustis. On April
15, 07 the participating One Design Fleets were: Flying
Scots, Wayfarers, Lasers and MC Scows. We had great sailing
weather, the temperatures were in the low eighties with
winds between 12 and 15 m/p/h: could not be any better!
The boats were flying! The Junior Sailors in the Opti
Fleet were sailing on a course closer to the shore. If
you are new to Lake Eustis and like what you see: Check
us out: Stop by and visit! But be prepared: You might
like what you see and stay! In that case, you are very
welcome: just download the membership
application form,
mail it in, chose your one design fleet and race with
us. With lots of thanks to our
extraordinary PRO’s Dave and Joan Williams assisted
by Bob Armes and our great team of safety boat skippers:
John Schneider and Sam Montondo.
