The Lightning Fleet hosts another fantastic Lobster Roast.

The weather cooperated and we had a beautiful, dry, sunny day for fall work day.  Many members joined fellow sailors to build camaraderie and work together to accomplish many tasks at Crescent. A special thank you to Paul Keyes and the lunch crew for making such a delicious lunch for us all to enjoy.  Click here to view pictures from fall work day.

Crescent hosted the F18 North American Championship under Chairman PC Chris Tuckfield and a cadre of volunteers. The event ran from September 14 - 19,  with 23 teams from as far away as Texas, Oregon, Florida, California, Montreal and even Hawaii. The event included an extensive social schedule for regatta participants, CSYC members and guests; highlighted by a beautiful cruise down the Detroit River.

The race committee, led by principal race officer Matt Bounds did a great job to complete 9 races in challenging conditions. CSYC member Uli Gollwitzer and Liam Walz fought hard to finish 3rd overall, beating the Canadian Champions by one point. Their third place came down to an exciting and tightly contested final downwind leg in the final race. Other F18 teams from

CSYC finished well including Jeff and Evan Rehm (9th), and Arnold Slominski with Wayne Tetlow (19th).

A special award was given to Lise Duchesne as the top female skipper with crew Patrick Caux. This perpetual trophy was created in honor of Sandra Tartaglino, long time catamaran sailor and dedicated supporter of sailing, who died in a tragic accident this year.

The annual ‘Crescent Day’ was a blast. The day started with a Watermelon Race, followed by a hot dog lunch, and a variety of games and activities including the popular ‘shoe box’ race.  Click here to view pictures from 'Crescent Day'.

The purpose of our Crescent Junior Sailing Program is to provide instructional classes to promote sailing to our youth so they can learn seamanship, boat handling skills, regatta tactics and have fun at our club. Our 2019 program had a solid summer in the midst of a major transition. The junior sailing program was fortunate to host 76 sailors over nine weeks, which included three separate program terms and now another season of education and fun has come to a conclusion.

Crescent apparel, water bottles, beverage tumblers, and much more are available for purchase from the online Ships Store.  Items are delivered to the club at no charge.  There is a 2-week lead time.
