2019 GLSS SPRING UPDATE |
|
No better time to think spring than after experiencing the record breaking temperatures delivered by the 2019 Polar Vortex and repeated snow storms! Watching the snowbanks grow makes planning our summer fun feel like a much needed mental reprieve!
We have lots of fun planned for Gull Lake Sailing School and Yacht Club this summer! Though it may seem hard to believe, before long, area high schools will be gearing up for the spring sailing season. We are excited to announce Coach Sullivan will be our director of both the high school and summer programs. Classes will include introduction to sailing, sailing skills and racing skills in both Optis and 420s.
We are excited about our new format and schedule. Classes will vary by age and skill, allowing for focused attention on each group. Registration will be on our website soon.
In support of all this sailing we have a lot of fun planned to connect with lake loving friends and families, so mark your calendars now!

Happy Spring from the Gull Lake Sailing School! The ice is melting!
We would like to take this opportunity to let you know what GLSS has been up to this spring, provide you with an event update and place a request for your sustaining donations in support of the following activities and fun.
HIGH SCHOOL SAILING
For the second year the GLSS is proud to be the home of Brainerd High School’s Sailing Team. As the high school sailors awaited ice out on Love Lake they were reviewing sailing and safety fundamentals as well as readying boats and the clubhouse for an active spring and summer. Today the ice is out on Love Lake and going fast on Gull, so boats are in! There is still time to register for high school sailing and you can do so at glyc.com. A special thank you to Chris Holmes for his great photos of the team from April 22!
SUMMER LESSSONS
In addition to high school sailing, the Gull Lake Sailing School will continue to offer a variety of sailing lessons this summer under the direction of Coach Josh Sullivan. Josh comes to GLSS from White Bear Yacht Club. He has his level I and II instructor certifications and his level III head coach certification from US Sailing. For anyone who wants to learn how to sail, or anyone who wants to have fun expanding their sailing knowledge, GLSS offers a variety of lessons for ages 5-18, beginners to racers. Registration can be found at glyc.com.
SOCIAL UPDATES
This summer we have a number of social events planned to reconnect friendships and support our sailors of all ages. Watch for details soon on the Opening Party June 15th, and mark July 6th for our “Hot Fun in the Summertime” event. It will be a fun filled evening with food, fundraising, live music and dancing! The Lakes Area Music Festival will return to the Gull Lake Sailing School August 12. Back by popular demand, GLSS will host a golf tournament at the Pines on August 10th. Keep an eye out for more details on these events.
DONATE TODAY!
As always, “the tax man cometh!” May 15th to be exact. We have caught up on a lot of deferred maintenance the last two years but continued maintenance of our grounds and facility is always required. Furthermore, our boat ramp must be repaired from the past few years of ice damage. We are running a tight ship as always and are working hard to make the most out of every dollar donated. We hope you can see we are changing, growing and making a difference! GLSS would be so appreciative of your support in any amount. You can make your tax deductible donation in a few easy steps at glyc.com or mail checks to:

P.O. Box 511
Brainerd MN 56401
We thank you in advance for your support!
