This photo was taken from the dock last Sunday—one of our members enjoying a beautiful early-season sail.
Have you made it out for your first sail yet? The season is here, and it’s a great time to get out on the water—just remember that the lake is still cold, so please go out prepared
We also encourage all members to post in the MSC WeChat Safety Log when heading out and again when you return. It helps keep everyone informed and safe.
Have a photo or video from your first sail of the season? Share it with us—we’d love to feature it.

Introducing MSC’s Borrow a Boat Program
No boat? No problem. With MSC’s new Borrow a Boat Program, members can access a shared fleet of sailboats—perfect for casual sailing, learning the ropes, or getting back on the water without the commitment of boat ownership.
The program is launching for the 2025 season and is open to members looking to sail alongside a supportive and experienced community.
Want to learn more or find out how to get involved? Send us a direct message—we’re happy to share the details.

I'm thinking of getting a dolly for my 14' Enterprise. Any advice, suggestions where to buy one, or anything else I should know.
Appreciate your help.
