Our Mission Statement Founded by a common interest in sailing, we, the members of Lake Michigan Sailing Club, share our passion for sailing through increased knowledge, ongoing education, camaraderie and fun. Where captains and crew are brought together. We will conduct ourselves according to the highest ethical and moral standards of our club and our community. "Whatever is right" and "Whatever is just" shall be the first guiding principles in all of our actions.
WELCOME TO LMSC Welcome to all who love to sail or those who want to learn if they would like sailing. This club was created to bring sail boat owners and crew together on a social basis in order to actually sail on Lake Michigan out of the five harbors of Racine, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Winthrop Harbor and Waukegan. LMSC is a not-for-profit organization formed to promote the joy of sailing.
Club Statement: COVID-19 (Spring 2021) Due to the improvements in health issues related to COVID-19, LMSC is planning to sponsor sailing events this year. We greatly missed sailing in 2020 and are looking forward to sailing in 2021. Sailing events will begin to be posted in the May timeframe. Our monthly meetings this year will continue to be online using ZOOM. They include educational and entertaining programming.
Not sure if you would like to sail? We want to invite you out as our guest (Sail With Us!) in order to find that out for yourself. If your interest is learning the art of sailing or you already know how to sail, but want to share sailing with others, this is the club for you. Once you become a member you will be able to invite out your own guests, to see if they would also like sailing and crewing on various boats. Spread the word!
For the sail boat owners who need more people to come out and sail with them, this is definitely the sailing club for you.
SAFETY: An important concern of the LMSC is to observe appropriate safety precautions for all crew and boat owners. As part of that effort, all boats in the LMSC fleet have been through a U.S. Coast Guard Vessel Safety Check, conducted by a certified Vessel Safety Examiner.
This is a great opportunity to sail all summer long out of five different harbors and on many different boats. Great for someone who is thinking about buying a sailboat and wants to try different boats for the experience. Please contact us through our email address lakemichigansailingclub@gmail.com if you have any questions.
Yours truly,
Commodore Barry Bernstein
