Sailing
Sailing is a great sport with a long tradition. A white
sail on the blue water, it is simply breathtaking. From Marco Polo to Dennis
Conner, we all belong to this mystical event, where our boats dance with the
waves, our sails sing with the wind, and we simply watch in awe, this
magnificent moment mother nature paints for us.
OHYC Fun Day
To promote our club, we hold fun days during the season,
where you can come aboard and sail with us. These fun days include basic
sailing events and fun for everyone. There activities offer ample opportunities
for individuals to experience sailing without risk or expense. It is great way
to try sailing and it is a good opportunity to meet us too.
Social Events
We enjoy many different social events including picnics at
the lake, dinner at a local pub after the last Saturday afternoon race of each 3rd
weekend in the month, parties at member’s houses, and the annual awards banquet.
Monthly Newsletter
This is our monthly publication where we post articles
related to sailing, upcoming events, current issues, race results. It is a
great way to keep in contact with all our members. The most recent version of
the newsletter is found in the members only section
Racing
Sailing is an excellent sport for all ages, and we try to
make sure that you enjoy this sport as much as possible. You can be
competitive, or kick back and relax as much as you want. We race at Oak Hollow
Lake, High Point, North Carolina every 3rd weekend during the sailing
season. Our
summer racing season starts in March and last until October.
Beginning in March 2007, we limit our racing to Saturday only, using Sunday as an optional Fun Day.
We have many types of boats in our club, from Sunfish,
Monohulls and Catamarans. We also have windsurfers competing. We thrive on
improving our skills and are always willing to help newcomers with setting up,
tuning their boats, racing rules and tactics.
Awards Banquet
This is our biggest event of the year. We hold elections
for the officers and present many awards. We present serious awards, or a funny
one. We present a plaque to the top 2 finishers for the season for each class.
We have funny nut awards which make note of the unusual events or achievements
of our dear friends.
