LPYC 2023 Turkey Trot Regatta and Dock Party.

Lake Palestine Yacht Club held their annual Turkey Trot Regatta on November 18th. With light and often fluky winds, the participants were never the less able to complete the race with only one slight mishap of one boat temporally running aground.

Here are the results of the race.

Here are a few pictures of the race.

LPYC June 2023 Work Day

Under a warm but thankfully rain free morning, seven members of the LPYC tackled several maintenance jobs. First up was replacing the old rusted mast crane cable. After some initial struggles with the old wire, the new wire attached to the old, to be pulled through the top pulleys of the mast crane.

While rest of the crew tackled painting the Knotta Yachta barge with a fresh coat of stain/sealer to the deck and tables and benches on the barge.
