A small, serious sailing club on a small, serious lake.
Founded in 1967 by a dozen families who were tired of driving three hours for a Sunday race, Leatherlips YC has been member-owned and volunteer-run ever since. The board rotates. The burgee doesn't.
We race PHRF on Wednesday nights, one-design on Saturdays, and cruise anywhere the wind is. Juniors run the dock in July. Someone is always late for race committee.
If you'd rather not have a stranger tell you what racing is like, come to a Thursday-night dinner. Everyone sits down at 6.
Volunteer board. Elected yearly. Everyone does a shift.
Sets the tone.
One-year term. Rotates from vice, who rotates from rear.
Loses every November.
Collects dues, runs the books. Sanity restored mid-December.
Calls the starts.
Writes the sailing instructions and picks the marks.
