“The Utah Lake Yacht Club – Student Chapter has been busy this summer – mostly sailing on Tuesdays at 4pm at the Provo Marina.
We’ve had more than 70 different students come out to some 17 events. Some individuals have come out to as many as 9 events. We have added Saturday events as well and hope to sail well into October…”
The truth is, ever since the BYU Yacht Club was disbanded a couple of years ago, the Utah Lake Yacht Club needs all the support it can get. ATTENTION: UTAH SAILORS-THIS MEANS YOU! So check out their Facebook page, find out what’s going on and get out to the lake on Tuesdays. The more the merrier!
