Many CLSA'ers go to this show (www.strictlysailchicago.com) EVERY year -- it's that good an experience! There are great deals to be had on sailboats and sailing gear, sailing seminars to attend (no additional charge, in most cases...), and "the pond" where you can pilot a Radio Controlled sailboat around a Windward - Leeward course. Where else can you try out various reefing systems for your main next year, winches, pumps, docking echniques, etc. in the Winter? Of course, Chicago has many other attractions as well...why not "make a 'Special' weekend out of it?" | 1

all day
Meet between the South entrance to the Marina and the water. Time 10 AM -2 If the water is too hard to sail, we'll do a "dock walk" to check out the boats "wintering over" in the ice. In past years, some have folks walked on the harbor ice across the lake(using a battery drill with a L O N G bit to check the ice depth for safety), while others chose to ice skate! If the water is soft, cabin boats still afloat will gather a crew and sail briefly. One year, the boats returned to the docks in a snow squall (see photos on the CLSA website...) ***************** |
