2025 Winter Sailing Seminars
Held in the Utah Lake State Park Conference Room
4400 West Center Street Provo, Utah
All meetings will start at 7:00 p.m.
We are thrilled to come together as sailors, count down the days until sailing season, and learn from one another. Whether you are an experienced sailor or just starting out, whether you have a boat, dream of owning one, or sail on any lake, you are welcome to join us!
January 30: “Chartering in the Sea of Cortez”
We start our series by hearing from Gary Ekker as he teaches us about chartering in the Sea of Cortez.
February 6: “Race experience and tactics”
Roger Crosland will teach us about his many experiences racing in San Diego.
February 13: No Meeting (We were unable to schedule the conference room for this night)
February 20: “Francesca Clapcich” We are honored and excited to have:
Professional athlete Francesca Clapcich is one of the world’s most versatile sailors. She has twice represented Italy at both the London (finishing 19th) and Rio (finishing 5th) Olympic Games in the Laser and 49erFX classes respectively; was the first Italian woman to compete in the Solitaire du Figaro; and has raced around the world twice in The Ocean Race, becoming the first Italian to win the notoriously challenging race in the 2022-23 edition. She is the very first female skipper to compete in the Ocean Fifty Series, leading the all-female team UpWind by MerConcept, and she will compete in the Puig Women’s America’s Cup for American Magic in October 2024. Her next big goal is to compete in the 2028 Vendée Globe, sailing solo and non-stop around the planet.

Everything you need to know to join us in all the sailing activities on Utah Lake this year. Whether you are a seasoned sailor or beginner you won’t want to miss this.

If you've purchased a boat from the Great Salt Lake,
you've got these critters secreted away in deep dark recesses, dormant for now.
Come spring time warm ups, like when you're putting in for the 2025 sailing
season, these guys are going to crawl out at night and skitter on over to all the
other boats at Utah Lake Marinas and rock break waters, and take up residences.
The last I heard, the GSLYC had a real epidemic, with bug doctors spraying docks
twice a month and still loosing the battle. If you have a boat with a Great Salt Lake
history, please do the responsible "preventive maintenance" thing and "bomb" your
new boat.
Something like this should do the trick. Read all instructions before using.
Then enjoy a bug free boat for 2025.
Don't bug me.
Tomorrow, tomorrow...
