Sailing and Racing

Hello from the Sailing Director. This year I've got the best job on the Board - with a title like Sailing Director, you just can't go wrong.  My job is to get you out sailing on the water as often as possible.  A really great way to do that is to encourage everyone to come out to one of our Racing events.  Racing is probably the best way for you to get the most from your KSC membership.  Here's why:

  • Its fun!  You don't need to be a competitive person to enjoy it.
  • It gets you out to the Club.  The races are regularily scheduled events, so you can plan to be at the Club and you know others will be there at the same time.
  • It gets you out on the water.  Isn't that why we all join in the first place?
  • The apres sail is great.  The Club has a wonderful deck to lounge on after the races are done.  Everyone is enjoying a cool beverage and each other's company.

As in past years, we will be running several race events:

  • Tuesday Night races for those who like to compete, learn how to race or just for the fun of it.
  • The KSC Open Regatta in September.

Racing a sailboat is loads of fun, even if you are not the competitive type, and its probably the best way to improve your sailing skills.  And of course the food, refreshments and company afterward on the Deck can't be beat!

Don't forget Friday Night Social Sailing.  This isn't a race event, but its a lot of fun.  Every Friday evening, starting in late June, a group of "social sailors" gathers at the Club to enjoy sailing together a socializing on the Deck afterwards.  Come out and join us!

See you on the water!
