The newspapers beat us to the news this morning. As reported by Dan Moran of the Lake County News-Sun, Chicago Sailing will have a satellite operation in Waukegan Harbor this season. Read the full article.
We plan to be operational by May 15th in Waukegan Harbor. Our offerings will include many of our most popular courses, including Basic Sailing 101 and Advanced Sailing 161. In addition, we will offer Club Sailing on Tuesday evenings, rentals, and captained charters. Jim Sauser, who has previously instructed with Columbia Yacht Club in Chicago and the Lake Forest Recreation Department, will be managing our programming and facility in Waukegan.
If you have any questions regarding the offerings for Chicago Sailing in Waukegan Harbor, just call the Chicago Sailing office at 773.871.SAIL.
For our Belmont Harbor sailors, don't forget to take advantage of our early season sailing specials. The weather is looking much improved for enjoying your sailing experience this weekend. Through May 16, all annual check-out fees are waived and you get a third hour free when you rent for two hours!
How about a little food with your sailing? We'll have lunch on the dock all weekend. Saturday will feature our new grill in action, with Magda serving as your chef. Rebecca will be on dock Sunday serving up chili with all the fixings (we know that's a weird combination with Easter, but go with it). And in regards to Easter, we will be open at the normal time on Sunday morning with Club Sailing from 8:30 - 11:30 am.

Opening Weekend 2011
It certainly wasn't warm and harbor conditions are quite interesting, but Chicago Sailing did indeed open over last weekend. Saturday's lake conditions included heavy waves, rain, and gusty winds - necessitating a postponement of our festivities until the next day.
Sunday brought heavy western winds, but otherwise fine sailing conditions. Those who planned ahead and brought many warm layers enjoyed themselves significantly more. Tom and Todd are modeling the layers necessary for staying warm on the dock.
Right around 11 am, our houseboat headquarters returned to B Dock. We were happy to have it back in its spot on the dock. The return also kicked off an afternoon of grilling and learning more about some of our customers.
The weather prediction for this week continues our trend of unseasonably cool temperatures. If you're thinking about doing some sailing this week, give us a call to make sure boats are going out.
Operations have been slightly disrupted by the construction in the harbor. Despite the houseboat being on dock, we are currently maintaining our office at 2712 N Campbell due to a lack of power! Hopefully we will have power by the end of this week and will be able to move the office to its proper location in the houseboat.
If you have any questions, just give us a call at 773.871.SAIL. We look forward to seeing everyone and enjoying a long 2011 sailing season.

Moving Back to B Dock
Things are getting busy at Chicago Sailing. We're hoping the weather improves for opening weekend, 43 and rain requires a lot of serious equipment on Lake Michigan.
Today's sunny weather was beneficial for our crew hard at work getting the boats ready. Check out what they've been up to.
