We host an open regatta- The Firecracker- and several class regattas including Hobie, Snipe, and Butterfly events. The club supports on the water fun and education for non-sailors, beginners and old salts alike with events like Demo Day, Outdoor Fest, and private or group lessons through our sailing instructors.
New this year (2008), is the Longmont Sculling Club, which will be sharing our facilities as a member fleet of the club.
