Flying Scot Spinnaker Classes now offered at USSCMC
This could be you!
Our newly refurbished Flying Scots are rigged and ready to sail spinnakers! Spinnakers offer the thrill of colorful, high speed, downwind sailing. In order to use our spinnakers, the skipper and at least one crew must be certified for spinnaker sailing by USSCMC.
Bob Voeller, US SAILING Level 1 Certified and one of our racing club members, will instruct Flying Scot Spinnaker Classes on Sundays from Noon to 4:00pm.
For sailors who feel they are already proficient without a class, Spinnaker Tests will be given by appointment on Sunday mornings. Please call the office to schedule.

Grand Launching Ceremony of the Restored Flying Scot
The USSCMC will host a "Grand Launching Ceremony" of our newly-restored Flying Scot on Friday, October 2 at 3:00pm. This ceremony concludes a 6-month process that involved volunteers: Tony Downsbrough, Jack Frick, Richard Lusk, Randy Alford, Steve Tate, John Mann, Garrett Alford and George Nitschke along with the donated professional help of Danny Cabrera of Danny's Boat Restoration. You can witness the launching of The Volunteer sailboat as we tow it through the "mast up passage" that was specially designed through the border fence to the boat ramp property and launch from the boat ramp next door. This is your opportunity to thank the many dedicated volunteers who have made this "like new" boat part of our Flying Scot fleet. Opportunities to sail The Volunteer will immediately follow. The Volunteer is dedicated to ALL of YOU who volunteer your time and resources to make the USSCMC such a special place. Thank you for all that you do!
