LOSC Spring Catamaran Regatta & National Sea Spray Championships

3/23/2018

 
The Lake Osoyoos Sailing Club will be hosting a Spring Catamaran Regatta on April 21 & 22, 2018.  This racing event is open to Formula 18/16, Hobie 16’s and Hobie 18’s. 

Concurrently, we will be hosting the 2018 National Sea Spray Championships on April 20 - 22, 2018.

Please click on the button below for the Notice of Race.  To register online, please go to the "Regatta 2018" section under the "Regatta" header.

This event will be a great opportunity to kick-off the sailing season.  It promises to be full of fun, social interaction and quality racing.

We are also calling on our monohull-sailing and non-sailing members to be part of the action.  Volunteers are needed to help with our meal offerings, which will include breakfast and lunch for sailors and guests and one social dinner.  Additionally, we are requesting volunteers for race committee support, registration, marks, rescue boats, and shore team.
 
If you are able to assist, we would be delighted and thankful.  Please contact John Cowan at 778-836-2710 or by email at jctraveline@shaw.ca and identify the type of help you are interested in.

If you are unable to assist, try to drop by the club house and see some exciting races.

We look forward to seeing you at the regatta!

Spring Clean Up - Saturday, April 14th

3/21/2018

 
It's time to get the grounds and clubhouse in shape after such a long winter!

Join us at the clubhouse on Saturday, April 14th between 8AM and 3PM. 

As usual, we need volunteers to clean the clubhouse, to tidy the grounds and to put the boat and dock in the lake.  Remember to bring rakes, gloves, gardening tools, leaf blowers and wheel barrels for the yard work. The club will provide yard waste bags and indoor cleaning products.  For those willing to help with the boat and dock, you should consider bringing hip waders or a wet suit.  We need about four people for this task.  Your energetic participation for both inside and outside tasks is greatly appreciated!


A hot lunch will be served to all volunteers.  During this time, we can chin-wag about our winter activities.

This clean-up activity is a great way to reconnect with friends and to get in some volunteer hours.

On another note, Rear Commodore and Port Captain Garry Ford is looking for volunteers to help out with ongoing clubhouse and grounds maintenance activities during the sailing season. Time you spend doing this necessary work goes towards your mandatory volunteer hours so it's an easy way to get your time in for the year.  Areas that require volunteers include:
  •  Lawn mowing.  This task starts in May and requires a commitment of about 3 hours a week.  It can be completed by one person taking on the responsibility or a number of individuals over the spring, summer and fall.
  • Clubhouse cleaning.  This is an ongoing task that starts with the spring cleanup in April and ends some time in October when we close things down for the winter. Again this task can be completed by one or two members or on specific dates that you may have available.
  • On-going maintenance activities and facility improvements.  These are generally carried out by Garry and Jurgen.  But if the task is too big, additional members may be called on.  Knowing who would be willing would make it much easier. 
None of these jobs require specialized skills, except maybe the last.  All of them are well-defined and the club generally has the tools to complete them.  Please contact Garry at (250) 495-5350 if you wish to become involved in any of the above tasks during the sailing season.

Sailing Season Is Rapidly Approaching

3/20/2018

 
For those of you chomping at the bit to go sailing, please note that Tuesday evening racing starts April 23rd, 2018.  The first race begins at 6PM.  Please click on the button below for the Notice of Race and Racing Instructions.

For those of you anxiously awaiting our famous (or infamous, depending on your point of view) Sunday potlucks, please mark down on your calendar that the feasts will begin May 6th.  A sign-up sheet for potluck hosts will be at the club house.

Finally, we will be offering adult sailing lessons staring on Saturday, May 26th.  These lessons will run for four (4) consecutive Saturdays with the plan to be on the water by 9:30AM.  Check out "Sail Training" under the "Sailing" header for more details.
