  • Location
    Parnell Boat Access Area

  Register

  Small Boat sailors are invited to sail our small boats (lasers and sunfish) on Tuesday nights.  Assistance will be available to help newer small boat sailors while more experienced small boat sailors appreciate the opportunity to go sailing and mentor new sailors. Plan to begin rigging boats at 5:30. Fleet boats will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis at the lake. Please register and include your phone number, as we will cancel if very few or zero sailors sign up.

  
  

  Don't forget to join the Small Boat Fleet conversation by signing into groups.google.com and searching for the CLSA-Laser-Fleet-Forum.

  Small Boat Tuesday will be held at the Parnell Boat Access Area on Clinton Lake.
