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!

Roger Crosland and Brian Bales from the racing boat “Tenacious” will teach us a bit about racing in San Diego.

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.

February 27: “Set Sail on Utah Lake: Your complete guide to sailing adventures”

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.
