Learn to Sail Classes - May through August

Learn To Sail class
Now accepting registrations for our 2010 Learn to Sail classes. No previous experience needed!
Discover the fun and excitement as you convert wind power to sail power! From boat rigging to knot tying, learn the skills of sailing. Determine wind direction and sail position, then head out on the water to practice sailing a course in an AquaFinn, Laser Pico or the Capri 14.2.

Invite a friend or family member(s) to take the class with you. Just submit the online registration form. Fee for the course is collected on the first night of the class. Early registration is advised to assure that you get into the class you want. However, if you don't know what your schedule will be until the last minute then come to the first night of that class and if seats are available you may register then.

Piedmont Interclub Challenge
Piedmont Interclub Challenge - Notice of Regatta
Lake Townsend Yacht Club vs. Carolina Sailing Club
April 11, 2010 at Lake Townsend Yacht Club in Greensboro, NC

Take the Challenge! To promote sailing and interclub camaraderie in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, Lake Townsend Yacht Club challenges the Carolina Sailing Club to a one day competition.

     NOR coming!         Fleet Captains: Please encourage your fleets to participate.



Lake Townsend Yacht Club continues to provide one of the best sailing programs in the state. In the past two years, over 120 people have been through our sailing instruction course. The Frostbite series, Summer Series, Mayor's Cup Regatta and Interclub Regatta provide racing opportunities the first weekend of every month. A core group of cruising members have enjoyed weekend and day cruising at Belews Lake, Jordan Lake, Kerr Lake and on North Carolina's coastal waters.

Lake Townsend is one of the best inland sailing venues in the state. The restrictions on power boats ensure that sailboats never contend with choppy water created by skiers and jet skis. With our pontoon signal boat and two Carolina skiffs, we can set race courses to match the wind conditions and make racing safe and enjoyable. With strong fleets of Flying Scots and Tanzers and a good mixture of other mono-hulls and multi-hulls we offer very competitive racing and a variety of learning experiences for new sailors.

Please consider joining us in the fun! The low price of membership makes this an incredible opportunity. I hope to see you soon at Lake Townsend.
