I have additional information regarding Dianne Paxton. Her children have contacted us, and suggest that friends may wish to donate to the Multiple Myleoma Research Foundation (https://themmrf.org/tribute-in-memory-of/) or Grand View Hospital, where Dianne received so much good care (https://www.gvh.org/tributegifts/). They may try to organize a memorial, but in this time of pandemic, that is uncertain. […]
Hey, all, we’ve got Fleet Racing on the schedule for this Saturday. Classes with 4 boats get separate starts. The question is, do Lasers, Force 5, and Sunfish want to band together into the COVID Fleet for Portsmouth this weekend? The weather should be pretty nice this week, with high pressure keeping temperatures moderated, and […]
Hi, all, this weekend we get a full slate of activities! On Saturday we have our annual Singlehander’s Regatta. This event is a fun race day for everyone with a boat typically sailed singlehandedly. This includes boats like Sunfish, Lasers, Force 5s, Zumas, Optimists, etc. We discourage sailing a boat such as a Thistle or […]
It is with great sadness that I must inform the Club that long time member Dianne Paxton passed away this morning. Dianne was significant and important member of the Club. In her role as Membership Secretary, she did more advocating for the Club, and more to recruit members, than anyone else I know. Those of us […]

Looks like the Club is finally going forwards nicely! We’ve now run both a cruising event and a racing event which have observed proper COVID-19 procedures. I’d like to thank Fleet Council for putting in extra time this season with multiple extra virtual video meetings as we figured out how to keep our sailing season […]
Hey, everyone, hope you’re doing well and staying safe. I apologize for this very late weekend update. I’ve been called into the office this week for a project – amazing that actually going into the office has messed up my schedule in this era of working from home! This is a big weekend for […]
Nockamixon Sail Club is open for business, to borrow a phrase. Our first event of the year will be a Raft Up this Saturday evening. Our COVID-19 procedures are in place, so our event organizer for the Raft Up should take the Committee Boat to No-Name Cove just out from the marina, and take all […]
