I want to thank everyone who volunteered to assist with the Past Commodore’s Steak Roast. Joyce Lohner and I are both very appreciative of the way the Flying Scot folks stepped up. Staffing the PCSR is a fleet obligation. Each fleet is assigned to cover an event, such as the holiday potlucks (which hopefully will be revived next season). These … Read More

The 2021 Flying Scot Buckeye Regatta came off with out a hitch . . . unfortunately without much wind either, at least on Saturday. But our 13 competitors were here for the fun. They stayed out for 2 painful Saturday races that the Windmill fleet Race Committee worked diligently to set up. Sunday wind was better so we got a … Read More

It has been a long hard 12 months but some of the brightest spots of the last year for me were the days I spent out on the water in Helga. Against all odds we had a sailing season last year. Hard to believe but we are just weeks away for launching the docks and our boats will soon follow. … Read More

The 2020 sailing season is over and I am hopeful it is NOT repeated. I hope you got out sailing on your Scot this past season. It was one of the safest activities you could do with the breeze blowing past and the Sect in particular allowing for social distancing between skipper and crew. If you piled the family pod … Read More
Commodore’s Comments – September 2019

At least this is my ideal Fall sailing experience. I am always a little sad this year as the season winds down, we put our boats away and pull … Read More
Commodore’s Comments – July 2019
Angel on Our Shoulders A regatta is always an adventure but some are more challenging than others both on and off the water. Team Helga went to Deep Creek Maryland in July for the 2019 Sandy Douglas memorial Regatta where 30 to 40 boats in 4 fleets participated. Saturday evening we were mid fleet in the Silver Fleet with a potential for hardware … Read More
Commodore’s Comments June 2019
Some of our sailors have noticed that the water on Hoover is not only unusually high but also showing some algae bloom. For those who may be concerned I have been advised by experts that algae usually does not produce a toxic mix. There are literally hundreds of types of algae in Ohio but only two of them can produce … Read More

With the approach of the next sailing season, and after the dry sail expansions that were done over the winter, our Grounds Chair has been taking inventory of boats on the hard for the winter. Max Friedauer and Lisa Aspery have been coordinating their efforts to see that all boats on the grounds are known to the club and have … Read More
