Spring Sailing Lessons Scheduled
Introductory sailing lessons have been scheduled for June 5th and 12th, 10:00 a.m.
to 2:00 p.m. Sign up at the Shawnee County Parks and Recreation office at 3131 SE
29th (east end of the dam), or call them at 785-267-1156. There is a $25 fee per
person.
Experienced Shawnee Yacht Club members conduct the classes. Two hours each day is
spent discussing the various topics in a learn-to-sail book and the other two hours
is spent on the water in a sailboat where a skipper demonstrates and the student
tries their hand at it. If the student has a sailboat, we can use it, otherwise
we use ours. These are centerboard class boats that do capsize on occasion. Lifejackets
are provided but the student should be able to swim. On completion the student should
be able to rig a boat, launch a boat and make their way around the lake on all points
of sail in light to moderate wind. Contact Commodore
with any questions.
