FROM THE COMMODORE - CARRIE PFISTER

Can you believe that it is August already?

As always there is lots going on.... Raft Up Movie Night, the Fall Racing Series and CLSC's 50th Anniversary are just around the corner. Please read through the entire log for details.

Please make sure to read through the Historical Committee report. Make sure you RSVP for the anniversary party, ASAP.

This is a full day event on August 16th, and we need lots of help to make this a success. To open the days events, I will be hosting the "Parade of Boats". We are looking for a majority of the club boats to motor-sail around the lake (decorations are optional). Interested? Please let me know at sailing841@aol.com, or call 303.457.3839. We will also need a few boats to take previous club and crewing members aboard.

I have had a few members complaining about dogs at the clubhouse. Just fyi... the bylaws prohibit animals on the deck or in the clubhouse. They are only allowed on the docks and must be on a leash at all times. Thanks for your consideration.

Please pencil in a new event this year... The Commodore's Cup. It will be a one day race starting mid-morning on September 13th. Sailing instructions will post in the September log. The race will require a minimum crew of 3, all of which must be from your family. If you don't have 3, or your children have other plans for the day, you may substitute a Junior Sailor, or Crewing Member. Interested in joining me on the Committee Boat for the Race? Just let me know!

On a personal note, a big thanks to CLSC for their gratious donations to the Volvo Leukemia Cup Regatta held at Chatfield Reservoir at the end of July. SPLASH was once again the top fundraiser with just under $8000. CLSC had people on 5+ boats, all of which placed in the race. Your support is more than appreciated.

See you at the Parade of Boats on August 16th!

VICE COMMODORE - RAEGAN MORGAN

July is typically my least-favorite month of the year, but sailing has given me a way to enjoy the hot summer months. One of the July highlights this year was Jr. Sailing Camp. Our oldest kiddo went to camp for the first time, and Lance and I spent most of the week helping out in one way or another. What a hoot! If you are looking for a fun way to earn some club hours, keep camp in mind for next year -- it's great fun. I've always thought of August as the "downhill leg" into fall, which in my opinion is the very best time to be out on the lake. But dock pull out always comes too soon. I look forward to lots of reading and relaxing on Wind Shadow in the precious little time we have left! See you at the lake!

"A sailboat is built to float, and then its keel is weighted so it floats less. Floating is not enough. Too light and a ship is not right with wind; too heavy and a ship is not right with sea. For a special rightness with the world, both lightness and heaviness are needed."

JUNIOR SAILING REPORT - DAVID & MARILYN HUGHES

Wow! We had a lot of fun at our two sail camps. The kids worked hard, played hard and sailed, sailed, sailed! If you¹ve never seen kids learn to sail mark it on your calendar to come out and watch next year. It is great fun to see the kid¹s progress.

The two session format seemed to work quite well. We had 14 Jr. Sailors and one Jr. Instructor (Mike Ruwitch) at the A session July 13-15th and 13 Jr. Sailors at the B session July 16-18th,

Three newly graduated Jr. Instructors joined Mike to assist at the B camp.

They were: Megan Johnson, Avana Andrade and Mackenzie Jacobs. The Jr. Instructors worked hard and did a good job of teaching the basics to our B camp sailors.

The camp regattas were really amazing. The B session sailors met Saturday morning July 19th and had a crowd on the beach to help cheer them on. The A session sailors ran into rough weather at 1:00pm so we postponed up at the clubhouse with an ice cream social and awards for B camp. Around 4:00pm we got off the A session camp regatta. Floyd Harrison and Dale Quackenbush got

some great pictures. All the kids raced on sloop rigged dinghies with skipper and crew of one, two or three. All the A group looked very experienced out there!

Results of the B Fleet Camp Regatta:

1st Parker Morgan and Brian Strathman

2nd Ben Lewis( new jr. crewing member) and Parker Owens

3rd Adam Mandel and Stephan Stahl (new jr, Crewing members)

Rounding out the fleet were:

Jenna Poulsen and Sarah Smith

Caitlin Owens and Elaine Bailey(new jr. Crewing member)

Krissi Kaptain and Maggie Stamets

They all deserve a hand for their performance!

Results of the A Fleet Camp Regatta

1st Mike Ruwitch and Avana Andrade

2nd Megan Johnson and Toni Owens

3rd Mackenzie Jacobs and Matt Strathman

Rounding out the A fleet were

Gavin Jacobs, Mack Jones and Scott Granger (the latter two are new jr. crewing members)

Jonah Miller and Haley Heer

Taylor Gruver and crew member (Taylor's friend)

Jeremy Kniss, Laura Stamets and Anna Smith (new jr.crewing member)

We had lots of volunteers to help with the photos, crafts, night sails, night supervision, meals, tents, campers, slips and the boats. Thanks again to all the club members (44 in all) who helped make this year¹s camp such a good experience and special thanks to Ivan Andrade and Jim Jacobs who volunteered their time as instructors and worked tirelessly to make sure the "on the water" instruction was the best it could be. Also this year Eileen Winans helped us with "on the water" instruction for the B session. Welcome Eileen!

In addition, Floyd Harrison took lots of great digital pictures (@200) that he has compiled on a CD. It is for sale for $5. He also has a video tape of camp for $7.50. Please contact Dave and Marilyn if you are interested in ordering either the CD or the Video.

On Sunday July 20th thanks to lots of work from Ivan and many volunteers (special thanks to Tom Ruwitch and Ken Owens) Carter Lake hosted the first annual Carter Lake Open Jr. Regatta. Most of the Jr. Sailors from camp participated and we even had a team from Cherry Creek. We even had a

spectator fleet!

Another Jr. Regatta is coming up soon!

The Denver Sailing Association Junior Open On Aug. 9th

Cherry Creek Reservoir

Call Blaine McClesky for info: 303-664-5061 or check with Ivan Andrade, Jim Jacobs or Dave and Marilyn Hughes if you are interested.

Last but not least, Jr. Sailing is selling tank tops and boat bags for a fundraiser. We will have the bags, tank tops and filled orders at the next potluck on Aug. 9th.

August 16^th is less than 2 weeks away, and plans for the CLSC “Celebrating 50 Years” celebration are in full swing.

§ August 16, 2003 we will celebrate the anniversary of the beginning of the Carter Lake Sailing Club—originally the Denver Sailing Club. To celebrate this event, we have invited past and current members, as well as Larimer County people for a day of festivities.

§ Look for these activities:

Ø Time to meet past members on the docks with snacks from 12:00-4:00PM, and a boat parade at 2:00.

Ø Our commodore, Carrie Pfister will lead the parade, with past members invited to sail with current members on their boats. We have eight boats volunteered, and could always use more!!

Ø We will have name tags at the docks and in the clubhouse.

Ø At 4:00, festivities will begin at the clubhouse, where members can meet, share the memories and continue the traditions of camaraderie.

Ø Look for displays of memorabilia, pictures, videos and LOGS from 1953 through 2003.

Ø Dinner will be served at 5:00, with a short presentation around 6:00.

§ At dinner, the Club will provide BBQ Beef Sandwiches, beer, lemonade and celebration cakes.

§ Current members bring the following dishes:

Last name A-L: Potato Salad, Pasta Salad or Coleslaw. Last Name M-Z: Baked Beans, Salad or Vegetable/Fruit Dish.

What else can Current Members do??

We need your Help!!

ü We have done our best to invite all past members. However, someone could have been overlooked. If you know of past members, contact them and invite them!

ü Volunteer to help! We have some volunteers but can use people to:

· Help with clean-up and set-up of the clubhouse area before the event.

Thanks to those members who have volunteered! I’ll be in touch. All members are encouraged to attend, to volunteer and to help put on a fantastic celebration. A few more notes:

§ Please bring in all perpetual trophies to the clubhouse for display, including the Commodore’s Wheel and the Jim Nance Award on this day.

§ I have completed sets of LOGS except for 2001—figure that out! If anyone has copies of LOGS from 2001, please let me know!
