The Seven Lakes Sailing Club organizes sailing and social events. The sailing events include formal races around defined courses, Learn-to-Sail and Introduction to Racing courses and other sailing related activities. Activities are scheduled on Lake Auman and Lake Sequoia. Our social events include after-race BYOB cookouts, Scavenger Hunts, Boat Parades, an annual Water Carnival, and more. The Events page will give you some idea of what we do....and how much fun we have.
The Sailing Club is open to any Seven Lakes resident or landowner who has an interest in the water or in boat related social events. This includes power boaters and non-boaters.
Our newsletter, the mainSheet, is updated as needed. Current news and announcements can be found on the mainSheet page of the site. Notice of new postings will be announced in the Latest News window on the right. New postings are posted below, as well.
Because club members have a variety of sailboats, racing events are run under the US Sailing version of the Portsmouth handicap system. The club also includes a number of power boating members who have interests in sailing activities.

AND HERE THEY ARE...
Confronted with a plethora of new terminology, fluky wind conditions, sailing concepts, boats, and garrulous instructors, the students of the 2009 SLSC Sailing Program successfully completed a week of instruction.
How do we know they were successful? All are still alive, no boats were broken, and as you can see from the photograph, they're still smiling. Seriously, their success was demonstrated by each of them solo sailing through a series of on-water courses and by the excited telling of their sailing adventures and much "back slapping" at the end of the day.
The Seven Lakes Sailing Club proudly presents the World's Newest Sailors.
Congratulations to All !
