A few of us are talking about getting a fleet going here. Anyone Interested? Or willing to help? All suggestions are welcome!

No fleet in Utah
- Thread starter Barometer Soup
- Start date
We have a decent number of laser customers in Utah. Not a huge amount, but I'm sure there are enough people around to get a fleet going.
Post some notices at the local marinas and set up an e-mail list. As the summer comes on, I'm sure you'll see interest.
if you need any help or some prizes to stir up some interest, just ask, that's what we do.

We have a Yahoo group started to help get this going. It is parkcitylaser in Yahoo groups. But it just keeps snowing here. The lake still has about 16 inches of ice and our ski resorts still have about 120 inches of snow as a base. The ski resorts wil close this weekend so we hope it warms up and the lakes melt soon. We see no signs of global warming here. When I snowblowed the driveway this morning there was already 6 inches of fresh and it is supposed to snow all day. I guess I'll go skiing!

Well I guess I should give an update.
After getting all the legal stuff done and getting club insurance, we finally got it going! We have finished our first series and are growing fast. We already have almost 50 members! About 20 have boats and the rest are trying to buy boats. On Tuesday evenings we have about a dozen boats racing. We are already the largest one-design fleet in Utah! I am sure that next year we will have 25- 30 boats on the starting line! We are even discussing the possibility of hosting the district 23 championships on Bear Lake in northern Utah.

John,
Just a quick edit, the email address is [email protected] and the group site is: http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/parkcitylaser/
Like John said, we've had unprecedented growth in our first year and we hope to maintain that size and continue to grow it even more. Thanks to West Coast and others for the help in getting this racing fleet off the ground.

If I write in the old thread, does it open it up for others to post?

Looks like old threads lock up after a year or so with no activity.
Anyway to reiterate, great write-up and photo in the October '09 Sailing World about the Park City fleet.
