FRIDAY Evening Dinner and Drinks at the Finger Lakes Boating Museum - Contact Roger Slade for full details and to RSVP:
Lightning sailors have been invited to the Finger Lakes Boating Museum in Hammondsport (15 min south of KYC)  on Friday evening for a social event and dinner.   It can be difficult sometimes to get reservations the week after school is out on Friday eve at Keuka.  

Timing would be around 5:30 or 6  and they would like to host a light dinner and drinks for any sailors (in either classic or modern fleets) who would be able to make it.  I would expect a very modest fee  / donation for the dinner, and expecting drinks are on the house based on contributions they receive from local wineries, breweries.  They have a great venue for having this dinner in the room below the main entrance:


If you have never been to the museum we can promise a great experience of either socializing with other sailors or taking a walk around the wonderful exhibits they have after dinner.   A new building of their "luxury"  power and sail finger lakes boats  just opened last weekend which is quite impressive.   The FLBM has consistently supported our regatta and typically enters 2 Lightnings in the classic fleet sailed by museum volunteers.  They are embracing closer ties to the Lightning class as the Lightning is definitely a Finger Lakes boat, one of the most well known.  

Please contact Roger Slade about any interest in attending and how many in your party so we can determine if this is viable and logistics. We know some will be driving in Saturday am, but why not come Friday and enjoy the afternoon / evening at Keuka.  

Dinner would also be available at the Yacht Club up until 7:30 or 8 pm on Friday evening for any late arrivals.
