 LEARN
TO SAIL : The
Lake Eustis Sailing Club has a great "Learn to Sail" program
for Adults. The sail boat of choice for this “Learn to
Sail” Program
is the FLYING SCOT, as shown in the picture: The Flying Scot is
roomy and very stable, excellent for our “Learn to Sail” program,
for recreational sailing and Regatta racing. READ

-The very first Melges 17 arrived at Lake Eustis:
The new Melges 17 class is off to a great
start with many Regattas already sailed all over the U.S.! This very
high tech new Melges design might well be another great One Design
Class to further establish our sailing club for the long haul by
attracting active sailors to our 'One Design' Lake Eustis
Sailing Club and its big beautiful Lake in Central Florida.
These boats are tremendous: Very well balanced, newest materials being used,
strong and light weight, easy to sail, easy to keep upright, very fast and exiting:
This is the real thing and so easy to handle: One quick pull on a line and it
will furl the jib out of the way, (very handy for docking), couple of quick
pulls and the A symmetric spinnaker is up and the bow sprit comes out
etc. all with one line...
The Melges 17 gives the opportunity to feel the speeds of an A or E Scow
on a much more manageable and affordable platform.
The 2nd Annual Melges 17 Midwinter Regatta will be sailed right here on Lake
Eustis on March 9-11 and includes a Zenda U Sail Fast Clinic, free to all
Regattas sailors, on March 8 from 12 noon till 5 pm.
