Then on Saturday 22nd June, there will be a couple of short races from 2pm as part of the ASC-APYC Challenge. The water level in the Lake has shown some improvement and is back to around the level it was in early March,. Sailing with some of centreboard up will be necessary,\u00a0with aquatic weed to be negotiated, and launching from the jetty in front of the club or the ramp recommended. The situation will improve with more rains and storm water inflows to the Lake.<\/p>\n

ASC’s Zest, Quest, and International Optimist boats will become available in coming weeks\u00a0with further improvement in the condition of the Lake
\nThe Club’s annual regatta which was scheduled for 22\/23 June, was cancelled earlier in June due to the Lake conditions. As always visitors\u00a0will be\u00a0welcome to sail with the ASC fleet in our winter series with club races most saturdays till late September, Be aware that the condition of the Lake as at mid June is not as we would want, but will improve.<\/p>\n
