You'll find out more about all sailing activities here as well as about the duties that keep the club running.
Getting to know the water.
ASC has a number of fixed sailing marks in place on the water. These are generally used for racing and setting appropriate courses, but they can be used by anyone on the water. (It may be wise to avoid these if a race is underway) The marks are numbered 1-8 and span around the entire size of the water. The club also has a number of temporary racing marks that can be placed wherever needed in order to create the perfect course.
No Sailing Zone - ASC also has an area clearly marked off that should be considered an unsafe area for all sail boats. This is due to overhead power cables that are strung over the lake. This area is at the far end, beyond fixed mark number 5. No boats are to be sailed within this area.
A visual guide to the fixed mark location's and the general sailing area is provided below. Note for Winter 2024 and Frostbite 2025 mark 8 has been moved to the middle of the triangle formed by marks 3,4 & 6.
There are two launch slips for members to access the water via. These are located in front of the club house.
