As summer winds down here at the CSC, mornings and evenings are becoming quite chilly and sailors are becoming fewer and further between. One might think that this would make for a boring work day, but indeed there is still a lot going on here on the waterfront. Our staff is hard at work planning and carrying out our great fall programming, continuing our rental program, and preparing the facility for the winter. Even though our summer youth camps and adult classes are over, private lessons and other new activities, such as the Youth Environmental Stewardship Program, are in full swing.
One exciting change that has taken place is that the UVM sailing team is now here almost every day, rigging their fleet of FJs and creating a multi-colored spectacle of synchronized sailors out on Burlington Bay. They are a fun, energetic group and are ready for a great season of collegiate sailing – something that our summer campers can look forward to in the future. Another lively bunch is our Northern Vermont High School Sailing team, coached by our own great instructors, Justin and Mike. Though not quite as advanced as the UVM group, they bring a level of excitement about sailing on which we here at the CSC thrive.
Even though the weather is cooling off and the hours of daylight are dwindling, the Community Sailing Center is still fully enjoying our last month or so of summer – come on down and join us!
