Our 2009 sailing season came to an end October 31. This was an interesting year where we hit the wrong whether pattern on several weekends. It seemed like every weekend the weathermen were predicting rain and wind. We were lucky that our sailing area was on the south side of the Lake and most weekends we had very good sailing conditions, calm seas and moderate winds.

During 2009 we saw a decrease in the number of skipper's sailing at our lake. This resulted in the cancelation of awards for the "B" fleet. I also chose to cancel our awards luncheon since we always struggle to get 20 members and guests. The results for the 2009 season follows:

Rulon Cup - Sailed in Marblehead's - Scott Spacie

At this time every year I send out a notice for the following year's dues. You can download a copy of the membership renewal form here. As always dues are due by the end of the year. Anyone who is deliquent, may lose their frequency.

Members who joined the club this year, Ronald Lange, Mike Young, and Fred Erdhardt are considered paid members for 2010 and dues are not required. Tom and I agree that George Schramm (our web site guru), DiDi Rulon and Jay Marshall are honorary members of our club and no dues are required from these individuals.
