Spring Sunset Series and Club Races were discussed, however the Board again decided it was most prudent to wait until there is more clarity regarding boating and social restrictions. R/C Joe Jaeger (RearCommodore.LSSC@gmail.com) will send an email survey to skippers to gauge their interest in trying to run races in May or June. We ask for your continued patience and will communicate when decisions are made.

Updates (April 15):

The Board met to discuss the on-going COVID-19 response and its impact on our race programs. Several options for the Spring Sunset Series and Club Races were discussed, however the Board again decided it was most prudent to wait until there is clarity regarding what will happen after May 1st before modifying any schedules.

Updates (April 2):
-
The April 21st General Membership is cancelled.

Wednesday Sunset Series: We ask for your patience regarding the Sunset Series schedule. This is a very fluid situation and do not wish to prematurely cancel races as these are important to LSSC and the sailing community. That said, it seems likely we will be postponing or possibly cancelling the Spring Series. We remain hopeful that the Summer Series can be held as scheduled.
-
The Memorial Day weekend cruise to Algonac Harbour Club is still on the books, but is subject to cancellation if current restrictions are extended or the Club does not open.
