Vancouver Lake Sailing Club

Work Party this Sunday!

Here's the message from Oscar, our Port Captain!

The next club work party is happening this Sunday, May 17th from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. As always, if you’re one of those suspiciously energetic morning people, feel free to show up a little early.

The last few work parties have been wildly productive. We’ve fixed lawn mowers, beautified the jungle gym, refurbished benches, and tackled a whole collection of little club details that make the place feel better every month. Good things keep happening when people show up with gloves, tools, ideas, or just curiosity. The people are starting to notice your hard work!

This month’s project lineup includes:

⛵ More boats to chop up for the bone-yard

⛵ Boats that need washing

⛵ A tree that currently has a small jungle attempting to reclaim it

⛵ Building a sun shade out of old sails

⛵ Replacing flags around the club

⛵ Installing a volleyball net

⛵ And assorted mystery tasks that tend to appear once work begins

▶️ One especially important request ◀️

We REALLY need someone with a trailer to help haul away chopped-up boats. If you have one and can help, you will immediately become one of the most popular people at the club.

There’s a little bit of everything this month—construction, cleanup, landscaping, destruction, sailing-related arts and crafts, and probably at least one project that starts with “while we’re at it…”

If there’s an area of the club you’ve always wanted to see improved, come help make it happen. These work parties have become a genuinely fun way to shape the club into something better together.

Hope to see you Sunday!

Even with a little rain, the sun has been shining and we're out on the lake! Thanks Joshua for the great pics!

Stunning evening for sailing today; and tomorrow should be just as pretty!

Our Wednesday and Thursday Sailing this week has been Gorgeous! And it's even prettier this weekend! Come sail!

A great group session on Saturday! Thanks to everyone who came out!

The weather is really turning nice, and the sailing is great!

Our multihull sailors has a great event at the club! What's better than rigging for the season, than rigging with friends and appetizers!?

This could be you! Come sail!

A great turnout for our Crew Finder meetup this weekend! If you're interested in finding folks to help crew your boat, or to get experience crewing yourself, this is the group for you!

We had a great mix of people looking for everything from racing to fun sailing to friend making, to just getting experience with all the types of boats we have at the club.

Sign up here, no commitments required!

Thanks to everyone who pitched in for our Chili Cookoff last week! It was a great day at the club, and a fun way to get the season started! If you haven't been keeping track of all the activities at the club, make sure to jump over to our calendar and take a look!
