Along with the club activities listed above, Fleet Captain Peter Steenbergen will be organizing Water Raft Ups in various locations including a cruise around the island. All members are welcome to bring their own boats and for those without a boat or non boaters you can always catch a ride with another member. Some Raft Ups will be only for membership and some will be open to non members. We will advise which raft ups are membership only and open to non members. Just a note that raft ups are often short notice as they are weather dependent and member availability. Bring your favorite appetizer and refreshments.
The Lasqueti Yacht Club Recipe book is now in distribution.
$35 for Club members and $40 for non-members
Sailing Program - Peter Steenbergen
The Lasqueti Yacht Club has purchased 8 Laser dinghies we now have the opportunity to start a Sailing Program, with the goal of attracting more people, young and old, to the sport of sailing.
We are now putting together a Sailors Group within the LYC to make this happen. We need Club Members to join this group and work on what needs to be done.
Burgees
Burgees are for sale to Club members for $30 each. Please contact the Commodore or any Executive Committee member and we will arrange for delivery.
