FIRST MEMORIAL DAY BREAKFAST SINCE 2019 At the Gall's

We were blessed with a beautiful sunny morning to gather at John and Rachel Gall's for the first Memorial Day Breakfast in a long time. We stopped and recognized those who died defending freedom, and those among us that served in the military. Thank you John and Rachel for hosting us!

FIRST SPRING SOCIAL SINCE 2019! At the Olson's

We are so very grateful to Larry and Nancy Olson for hosting the first Spring Social in so long!

This was the first outdoor Spring Social in many years, and the weather was great. Sorry for not getting a photo during the event, but below is a photo of their place all decked out.

ALL ARE WELCOME!

Any Grandview lot owner or family member can sail or volunteer with us immediately. If you don't already sail, you can crew for our skippers and learn about sailing and racing. If you have a sailboat, just show up at the starting line 15 minutes prior to the 2:00pm starting horn and check in with the "committee boat".
We also need "Committee Boat" volunteers. The Committee Boat is the pontoon boat used for starting and timing the races. Those on board share the tasks involved, and enjoy the very best place to observe the dramas that occur during a typical race. The Committee Boat is the best place on the lake on Sunday afternoons.

We will guide you along. If interested please contact the Commodore, Tom Schroeder at 317-873-1637 (leave message).

Epic 6/25/17 Race: Only One Leg Remains on the Boat!

Which boat is ahead?

John Auld and Paul Hass in the yellow Y-Flyer shown here upwind and in a more advantageous position than Matt Bartlett and Tom Schroeder in the JY-15 to the right (Matt & Tom will have to tack to make it to the mark). Tom turned the helm of his JY-15 over to his more experienced crew on several occaisions which resulted in him accumulating lots of points in our scoring system. The system is designed such that there is no penalty to a captain for encouraging their crew to take the helm and gain some racing experience.
