2025 Sailing
We will be having our regular Paupac Sunfish races each Saturday (11:15 AM) and Sunday (11:30 AM) starting on the Annual Meeting weekend and ending Labor Day Weekend, for a total of 20 races. As usual we follow the US Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing. Our scoring system will continue with a required 7 races for pennant qualification. If you sail in 8-14 races, you may eliminate your worst score. If you sail in 15 or more races, you may eliminate your two worst scores.
Sailing at Lake Paupac
Visit the sailing bulletin board in the Lodge for rules, standings, and other general information. Race dates and times are posted on the website calendar.
Details
- All ages and abilities are encouraged to race. Experienced sailors are friendly and helpful to novice sailors; the veteran sailors want you to enjoy sailing as much as they do!
- Races start at the committee boat at a mid-lake location (west, Inlet, or east buoy.)
- 15 minutes before race time, one blast of the horn indicates the race will start in 15 minutes. 3 blasts of the horn indicate the race is canceled (no postponements) due to no wind or inclement weather.
Rules
- All sailors age 12 or less are required by law to wear a PFD (life preserver) approved by the US Coast Guard.
- Over the age of 12, you are required to carry an approved PFD on board.
- However, we strongly suggest that all sailors wear a PFD at all times, both in races and for pleasure sails.
- Sailors must wear PFDs (life preservers).
Learning to Sail
- Please call Janet Gottshall if you would like to have sailing instruction or hold a sailing camp, all ages included.
