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.

Ahoy,
Spring is in the air and the lake is calling. The sailing club is preparing for another year with a few changes. The raft-up party will return and, for the first time, there will be a joint event with the Sports Club. We have lost half of our big sailboats in the past couple of years so there will be more emphasis on small boat events, starting with sailing school that focuses on youth ages 10-15, using mostly Sunfish. The once-popular sailing poker event will expand to include all non-power boats. The calendar of events is now posted on the website.
It’s time to renew your membership. If you have been a member in any of the last three years, send your check for $25 made out to the Seven Lakes Sailing Club to treasurer Nancy Workman at 3420 Seven Lakes West or leave it for her with the receptionist at the Community Center. If your address and latest phone number are not on your check, include a note with that information. If anything in your profile has changed, sign onto the website and please update that information.
May you have fair winds and following seas. If not, then stay home and enjoy your favorite beverage.

A new year is underway and the Sailing Club is excited to introduce the joy of sailing to the increasing numbers of young people in the community. Sailing school the week of June 17-21 will focus on ages 10 and up in small boats. After that there will be several sailing events tailored for their continued participation and honing their new skills.
We will also be bringing back the boat raft-up party, the catered picnic and an expanded version of the popular sailing poker game, plus kayaking, socials and a traditional racing program. The full schedule for the year will soon appear under the events tab.
Welcome aboard,
Captain Paul
