SCSC Winter Gathering – April 2018

Hello All Sailors!

In April, the first Tuesday is April 3, but we are going to change this date to Monday April 2, to coincide with a Sailing School fund raiser at Hop and Barrel Brewery from 6pm to 9pm. For every pint purchased, $1 will be donated to the Saint Croix Sailing School. The Sailing School will have a table for information where we will include brochures for the sailing club as well. Come on out, support the sailing school and think about the upcoming season.

See you there!

This is not an SCSC-sponsored event, but is an opportunity for SCSC participants to talk about sailing during our long winter! Everyone is encouraged to support our local businesses!

SCSC Winter Gathering – March 2018

UPDATE (as of Feb 22nd): This event has changed locations and times.

Hello All Sailors!

In March, we will meet at the Lift Bridge Brewing Company in Stillwater from 5 to 10pm. This coincides with a meet and greet and fundraiser for the Saint Croix Sailing School. Come learn about the school and meet those who run it! $1 from every pint and $2 from every growler sold will go to SCSS.

See you there!

This is not an SCSC-sponsored event, but is an opportunity for SCSC participants to talk about sailing during our long winter! Everyone is encouraged to support our local businesses!

SCSC 1st Tuesday Get Together in January 2018

Holiday Greetings to All!

I’ve had a number of inquiries regarding our first Tuesday get together in January, which would be Jan 2, if we held to the schedule. This seems a bit close after New Year’s, and the Board is meeting on the second Tuesday of the month, so we have decided to move the 1st Tuesday get together to the 2nd Wednesday of the month, just for January.

So…..We will meet at 6:00pm on Wednesday Jan 10 at LOLO Hudson. Mark your calendars!

Hope to see you there!

Cruising

The St. Croix Sailing club is not all about Racing: we are about Sailing. For those who would rather go out for a casual cruise, the club holds five (or more) cruise events and a Bayfield cruise on Lake Superior. For those who like cruising but also enjoy a bit of fun, the Friday Beercan races might interest you. Beercan races are events which are less intensive then our regular races and are followed by a grilling event hosted by our member boats.
