Happy Holidays!
The Hunterdon Sailing Club annual dinner is coming soon, on Saturday, Nov. 12.
We have a new location in Clinton, new format, and lower prices. This is always a fun evening and a great chance to greet old friends and meet new ones, to talk about sailing this year and next year. Join us in celebrating the award-winners for youth and adult regattas, series racing, participation, and the surprise winners for Outstanding Fleet and Outstanding Club Service.
Please mail in your forms and checks as soon as possible. The registration form is attached in the October Foc’s'le (newsletter) posting on this website.
See you there!
Calling all members:
Help needed for Saturday October 15 Haul-out and Park Service day
Please join us at Spruce Run this Saturday, October 15th, at 10 AM, for our annual haul-out and park service days. All members are welcome and encouraged to take part.
We will spend the first part of the day bringing See Which Won up the beach, storing it for the winter, and packing up the shed.
From there we will break into teams to help the park staff clean up the waterfront and camping areas from a very active summer.
Please bring work gloves if you have them. We will supply the rest.
We look forward to seeing you there!

on the water.
See you all there on Monday, September 5th!
Two of our members visited the lake on Tuesday, August 30. While they couldn’t check every boat, they did report good news — the See Which Won and shed are fine. Also, the reservoir is full!! See you at the lake!
