Register Now for Sailing Lessons – June 19, 22, and 23!

Never sailed before? Wanna move up from crew to skipper?  Need a refresher after all those years? Then you should sign up now for sailing lessons with Brandermill Sailing Club! Our US Sailing certified instructors will get you tacking and jibing in no time! Hurry up, they are a right around the corner.  Don’t worry, it won’t cost you an arm and a leg either ($125 for the first person with STEEP discounts for additional members from the same family). Makes a great Father’s Day gift!

Beach Cleanup April 7; Skipper’s Meeting with Pizza follows!

Please join us on Saturday, April 7th, for coffee, donuts, and hard work as we clean up the beach for another season of sailing! It all starts at 9 AM at the Sailing Center at Sunday Park, 4602 Millridge Parkway. Bring gloves, shovels, rakes, wheelbarrows, and a hearty sense of community service to help get the Sunday Park beach looking fine for our neighbors and friends, and to make our launch area ship shape for the coming season. It’ll be hard, dirty, fun work, and is a great way to meet the rest of the club at the start of the season. We try to wrap up by noon, and then head over to Sergio’s in Market Square for discussion of the coming season, tales of past season’s glory, pizza, and some amber beverages. We hope to see you there!

2018 Club Calendar Now Available!

The Board and other members have worked hard to put together the 2018 Sailing Club Calendar!  You can find it here on the site, and/or you can add it to your own calendar using this link (Google account required).  This year’s calendar includes:

  • 2 racing series with 8 total race days *
  • 2 Regatta days *
  • 4 Fun Sails *
  • 8 full-moon pontoon cruises (great for spouses and families)
  • 1 course of sailing lessons with 3 days of instruction
  • 2 Community Service / Work days
  • Over a dozen other social events
  • Our annual 4th of July parade entry

*You don’t have to have a boat or know how to sail to join us on race days or fun sails, as we always have captains who need crew and are willing to take newbies out with them, conditions permitting.

We’re excited just thinking about it!  We hope you’ll consider joining us for a couple of these as a guest, or all of them as a member!

See you on the lake!
