Lume-On Lights Up Life Jacket Bladders - Practical Sailor Print Edition Article A night-time man-overboard (MOB) scenario is the stuff of sailor nightmares. Darkness adds to the difficulty of locating a person in the water, a concern that has produced many types of MOB lights and strobes (see PS, February 2016 online) over the years to better the MOB s odds. Spinlock s recently...

5 boats from SL Tahoe participating in the midwinter series; 2 from the North Shore; Best of luck to all.

On a sad note, we have lost two of our sailors recently. A tribute was sent to our membership regarding Pat Mitchell and there is a memorial party scheduled for this Saturday, November 17th. The location is 2359 Washington Avenue, South Lake Tahoe. You may bring a potluck dish to share or beverages or just come as you are.
Secondly, a long standing member of the Windjammers Yacht Club, Jim Hildinger, has died. Our Member-at-Large Jon Hoefer penned the following: Jim Hildinger was the first "LIFE" member of the club. He was one of the original founders and remained a stalwart supporter throughout the existence of the club. He sailed a Rhodes 19, Robato, for many years until he moved up to a Catalina 27, Cadensa. He wanted a boat in which he could brew coffee on his many trips to Emerald Bay. Jim initiated a race among Catalina 27 owners called the "Hildinger Cup" but soon opened it to other boats when not enough Catalina 27's came out to challenge him. More noteworthy though was his passion for sailing Lake Tahoe when few others ventured out. "No better time to be on the Lake" he often told other sailors, but few joined his winter outings. We will miss you Jim and wish you sunny, but brisk, sailing in eternity.

here are some ideas for charters; bareboat; for winter; boatsetter; click and boat and get my boat. I would suggest getting American Sailing Association 103 and 104 certification's to bareboat. San Diego offers the least expensive courses. We had a great experience.
