Welcome Aboard!
Our Sailing Club organizes events on and around beautiful Lake Auman (West End, NC). The events include sailboat races, a Learn-to-Sail course, sailing boat tours around the lake and many social activities. All sizes of sailboats can participate in the racing events thanks to the Portsmouth handicap system. Our social events include after-race BYOB Events, Boat Parades, Rafting Parties, Banquets and more. The Events page on this web site provides you some idea of what we do during a year. The Seven Lakes Sailing Club is open to any Seven Lakes resident or landowner who has an interest in the water or in boat related social events.

On Saturday, April 11 the Spring Shoreline Kayak Tour took place led by Ben Benjamin. Despite the temperatures of low 40F (!!) at the start at 8 am, several brave kayakers came out to join Ben in the tour. It was a bit of a chilly start, but it warmed up nicely. The participants in the tour were Rae-Lynn Ziegler, Paul Brezinski, Tracey Cicatelli and Wendel Kronis. Joel Martin provided support in the Safety Boat. The complete tour around the lake was 12.4 miles and took 4 1/2 hours.
