about this: Every
Regatta you sail in will make you a
better sailor in the next one! Before
you know it, you will sail so well in most
of the “Junior
Qualifying Regattas” that you will
be invited to train and sail in the U.S.
Sailing Team! Surprise yourself: Learn
to set your goals high, work at it, enjoy
it and do what it takes to enter the winners
circle! |

HONORARY LESC MEMBER ANDY BURDICK AND CREW TAKE 2008 NATIONAL
E- SCOW TITLE
Andy Burdick credited his team for the Team 45 victory. He has
the privilege of a consistent team of Peter Keck (who sails on
his A, E and in the old days C. Peter is a C Nationals and ILYA
Champ in his own right), Coye Harrett (also on the
Burdick/Blanchard A scow and off to Edgewood College in Madison)
and Meg Six (off to the UW Madison sailing team). Burdick's
race finishes demonstrate his continued skill in any class.

 Ahoy
Juniors! Come aboard! Sailing is easy to learn! Sign up for

 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
MORE…
-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.
Are you a Certified Sailing Instructor willing to use your skills
in order to help teaching kids to sail? Contact : Martin
Zonnenberg at MBPZ@comcast.net . Also, it would be very much appreciated if
you as an experienced sailor would like to become involved with
junior sail training: Please be in touch!
