The Spring mooring day for the 2022 season is May 21st. We are all looking forward to a great season on the water. All members are expected to attend or to find a substitute to attend. Wear old clothes, as this is a messy job. New members unsure of their assigned mooring number should login and check the “club documents” page for a pdf of this years most current all members list, including mooring numbers. Spring meeting to follow setting moorings. I look forward to seeing everyone!

2021 Windham Sailing Club memberships expire October 31 and 2022 season memberships are available November 1st on a first come, first served basis. If you are interested in joining the club or renewing you membership login (returning members) or click “become a member”(new members) to join and pay your dues anytime after November 1st, 2021. I look forward to seeing you on the water during the 2022 season!

It has come to my attention (via Mark Hanna) that ethanol free gas is available for sale locally in Wilmington at Nido service station, 77 West Main St. As all boat people know, the 10% ethanol gas available everywhere is not the greatest choice for a marine engine. Treat your engine right with the good stuff.

Dear fellow sailors,

We hope that you and your families and friends are and continue to stay healthy during this difficult time.

On Tuesday April 7^th the executive committee had a teleconference to discuss club activities in light of the pandemic. The unanimous opinion of the club officers is that the club should cancel all activities for the 2020 sailing season. With social distancing being the number one tactic in combating the transmission of the disease, we feel that we should not get together to plop our moorings. Experts warn that this pandemic will likely come in waves until the time that a vaccine can be widely distributed. Our thinking is that even if conditions improved and we could safely put our moorings out in the late spring or early summer, conditions could later deteriorate making pulling them unsafe. To be clear, it is the decision of the executive committee that no moorings should be placed on the lake this season by club members. If you use the lake this season, you should follow Great River Hydro’s rules that apply to all those who are not members of The Windham Sailing Club. In the event that there is some significant change in public policy regarding the pandemic, the EC may reconsider this decision.
