Carter Lake Sailing Club (CLSC) was founded in 1953 to promote sailing on the then new man-made moun
We pride ourselves in our friendly, easy-going atmosphere and great sailing. We have lively and fun activities, great potluck dinners, competitive racing and great camaraderie! CLSC also offers secured docks, a clubhouse complete with kitchen and camping facilities available to its members.
CLSC's first dance party hosted by Club member Jim Foy was a HUGE success! Jim's dance partner Laura patiently provided dance lessons and got Club members on their feet and dancing. DJ Eric's variety of songs kept the evening lively and fun! Who knew the Club had so many dancers. As Social Chair Andrea Mann said, "We sail! We dance! What a club we have!"
Two weeks of "Shark Week" resulted in significant Club participation and LOTS of creative photos. Check out this video and see Craig LaSasso's winning photo. Congratulations, Craig!
SPECIAL MEETING NOTICE. CLSC members are encouraged to attend an informational meeting about the Club having a breakwater. The purpose of this meeting is informational and to obtain input from Club members and to determine Club interest in moving the idea of having a breakwater forward to a formal proposal. This is not a meeting to vote to approve allocation of funds or to vote on the purchase of items to construct a breakwater. Meeting date: Saturday, Aug. 15, starting at 3:30 p.m. at the Clubhouse. Questions? Contact Mike Gurley.
The Clubhouse deck's south side is being replaced section by section. THANK YOU to the volunteers who worked in extremely hot weather to make this first section replacement happen. Your dedication, skill and hard work is so very appreciated.
CLSC Junior Sailing Camp culminated with a "Pirates of the Caribbean" fun camp race on Friday afternoon, July 17, and a Junior Sailing Regatta on Saturday, July 18. With the wind cooperating, racers were able to test their sailing skills while having an absolute fun time on Carter Lake. Enjoy these photos of the winners of both events.

Day 4 of Junior Sail Camp is on the water with Pirates of the Caribbean. The way these young sailors can maneuver the boats is a great indicator of how much they have learned toward mastering tacking and jibing. Made more fun with water cannons...lots of water cannons!
