Don't forget to bring something for the Auction. It can be nautical or land centered; practical or humorous.

Jack brown, a founding member of Cave Run Sailling Association and its first Commodore, passed away on April 21, 2011 at his home in St. Petersburg, Florida......more

Do you know of young people wanting to know more about sailing and would love to have experience steering the boat by themselves?

 It's time to get registered and make plans for the spring summer and maybe even into the fall. We are looking for young people 8-14 years give or take who would like to learn more about sailing including safety, racing. weather and how to have fun using wind to power the boat around the lake..Classes will be flexible as possible so sign up now for the spring Based on the participants schedules, as much as possible, we plan to offer classes both at Jacobson Park in Lexington and  if there is enough interest we'll have a class at Cave run itself. We need adult volunteers to make this possible!!! Each student needs help Why not give something back to our youth and be a mentor to someone who could go on to enjoy sailing for a lifetime...maybe a gold medal or even an American's Cup crew..Who knows?..

 PS.  We need volunteers for the girl scout camp in July and plan to offer week-end sailing during September..Give it a try--I promise you' will receive more than you can imagine....

BOAT SAFETY CHECK

 We ran across an Online Vessel Safety Check (Virtual VSC) which helps you determine if your boat would pass a USCG safety check. http://www.safetyseal.net/what_is_vsc.asp  The site provides an interactive survey provided by the USCG and US Power Squadrons.  The requirements are described along with helpful safety tips and guidance.  Also provided is a printable form check list, and a link to a nearby member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary who will assist in the process.
