FUN Day

We had a FABULOUS day of socialization and sailing at Sunday FUN DAY on May 22nd at the lake. Guests enjoyed sunny skies, temperatures in the mid-70’s and wind speeds ranging from 10-15kts with gusts close to 20.

42 Oak Hollow Sailing Club members attended which included 14 of our newest members. In addition, we had over 40 guests join us for refreshments and boat rides throughout the afternoon. Our total attendance for this event was over 80 people. In addition, five other families expressed an interest in joining and took applications home with them.

A special thanks to our gracious volunteers! Pam Lineberry handled refreshments and PFD’s, while Teri DeCurtis, Rosalie Austin, Janet and Bill Inmon registered our guests. Ian Lee, Henry Lee and Dean Mattern provided dock support. Roger Bates and Phil Andrews were on water patrol in the Jon boat. Eleven Skippers were out on the water at various times showing guests what sailing was all about. For many, this was their first sailing experience. Skippers included: Bruce Leigh, Gary Gooden, Mark Benham, Michael Nordahl, Paul Walter, Jerry and Gene Eldred, Alan Taylor, Warren Mitchell, Andy Squint and family, Linda Marsh and John Fulcher. (Please forgive me if I missed anyone.)

See you out on the water again soon!

Our May regatta was this past Saturday, May 21, with about 36 members present along with several guests. We had very warm, sunny weather with winds around 3-5kts with averages much less than that. Thirteen boats participated in the regatta.

Race committee was handled by PRO Alan Taylor with a crew of newbies including Teri DeCurtis, Dean and Debra Mattern and Bruce Leigh.   Considering the challenging, light wind and constant wind shifts, they did a tremendous job running two races in those conditions.  Also volunteering were Rosalie Austin and Sally Leigh, who handled the apparel sales. Thank you ladies and gentlemen for volunteering!  Congratulations to Paul Walter and Michael Nordahl who were the two individual race winners.  Three of the five “Women on the Water” sailors participated.  One of these women, Annette Grefe, took her hand at the helm and placed second in both races!
