Chautauqua Yacht Club

Happy July 3rd! 2pm races, all fleets. The forecast is fantastic. Come out and sail.

Sunday races were treated by Mother Nature to sun and winds in the teens. A great day on the water and incredibly close racing thoughout the afternoon.

And we’re off. Race day #1 had three C’s, a few spectator boats and a fury starter out on the water to kick off the season. The winds were 15+ which kept a few folks on shore. It was a beautiful day on the water and today (Sunday) looks to be just as nice. See you on the water. 2pm start.

YC’ers. Our Saturday 6/26 & Sunday 6/27 races will have a harbor gun (30 min until start) at 1:30 pm with the 1st Fleet (C Scows) starting at 2pm. The forecast is for great (heavy) wind, be prepared with a life jacket. Have fun, be safe, play nice, see you on the water.

The C 11 crew is gearing up for Winter sailing fun on Chautauqua Lake. Steve Snyder’s new hard-water sailing machine! Congrats.

1977 ish. Fair Winds & Happy Birthday.

All in jest... fair winds to all!

Hmm... the flags have always been a mystery. Phew... finally some clarity from the committee boat.

Some Fall sailing on Chautauqua Lake.
