2013 Spring Commodore’s Letter

Dear Sailors, Families of Sailors, and Friends of the Sturgeon Lake Sailing Club,

This summer marks the 57th year of activity at SLSC, and we are looking forward to a season no less sensational than any of the previous 56, replete with sailing, swimming, games, pizza lunches, dances and fun for all, including another gala-esque celebration!

Last summer we enjoyed record attendance at the club, the completion of the first phase of our new building (“the Boathouse”), and renewed enthusiasm more

The Passing of a Master

Heinz Gebauer died of a heart attack on January 17, 2013 at the age of 80, after working out at the gym that day and after having gone out for dinner that evening. Heinz was an icon of Laser Masters sailing: A former Laser Masters World Champion, a constant participant in the races held at the Water Rats Sailing Club on Cherry Beach in Toronto (his home club) and a devoted regular participant in the Mid Ontario Regattas for years more

The Road to Weymouth – Canada’s Sailing Team at the Olympics

Just days out from the start of the London Olympics 2012 Sailing Regatta, there are challenges and opportunities for 2012 Canadian Olympic Sailing Team.

Star sailors Richard Clarke and Tyler Bjorn are probably Canada’s strongest medal contenders in a very competitive Star class. They were seventh at the recent Star Worlds and could have been on the podium but for an equipment failure on the last day of racing. They have just finished a solid three-week training stint in more

SLSC 2012 Bag

At last year’s Mid-Ontario Regatta, we gave away bags as prizes for the top finishers in the Canadian 420 National Championships. We had so many comments on the look of the bags that we decided to offer a larger weekend bag size version of them for purchase.

The bag is a good-sized duffel made by Nike, great for weekend trips to the cottage. It features a shoe pocket and the SLSC logo on the side. more

SLSC 2012 Glassware

Do you remember the old SLSC wine glasses? They only held a few ounces of wine but everyone bought some a few to show their pride in our club. Well for 2012 we have a whole collection of glassware for you to choose from.

Here are the list of items available for purchase (starting from the left in the photo above).

Stemless Wine Glass set of 4 for $40 On-the-Rocks Glass set of 4 for $50 Hi-Ball more

Sailing the Big Winds of Lake Huron

The SLSC race team strutted its stuff in the stiff winds and big waves of Lake Huron over this past weekend. The team left in the morning of Friday July 5, trailing 4 sailboats and a coach boat, packed to the rafters with equipment and gear, for the six-hour drive to the Sarnia Yacht Club – all this to sail in the annual Sarnia Sailfest Regatta, the qualifying regatta for the 2012 Ontario Summer Games. The team objective was for more

Murray McCullough is the 2011 CYA Coach of the Year

A familiar name popped up as the Canadian Yachting Association announced its 2011 annual award winners. Murray McCullough, SLSC racing coach in 2006, 2007 and 2009, is CYA’s 2011 coach of the year. This award recognizes Murray’s fine technical knowledge of our sport, but far more than that, it recognizes his leadership and his personal skills – his ability to motivate and to embue in his athletes a sense of good sportsmanship along with a keen competititive spirit.

When Murray more
