Sailboat Building – March 24, April 1 2012

A Puddle Duck Racer “hatch” is scheduled by the Friends of Yellow Creek for March 24th and April 1st, 2012.



The PDR is an economical, safe, and easy-to-build box boat designed for beginners and families, as well as being suitable for experienced sailors who wish to build XL sails and race. Six Indiana families built them as FOYC projects during 2011 and sailed at Yellow Creek State Park this past summer.

FOYC volunteers will lead a group-build next month.  The basic hull can be completed in one day; families then take home the boats for sanding and painting.  Cost is approximately $200; only basic carpentry skills are required. Currently 2 slots remain for families who would like to be involved.

FOYC co-chair Ken Sherwood observes “it is a great winter project.”  “This year the Friends will also be sponsoring free learn-to-sail sessions for Puddle Duckers.”

 

“So if you have always wanted to learn to sail, this is your chance.”

Contact friendsofyellowcreek@gmail.com for more information or to reserve a spot.

Can you help out at Septemberfest?

Dear Friend:

FOYC volunteer and board members have been working together to make sure the 3rd Annual Septemberfest is every bit as exciting as last year.

We hope you will join us at the park, Saturday, September 29th, with your friends or family. Septemberfest is our most important opportunity to celebrate the park, attract new visitors, and raise some money for park improvement projects.

Would you consider also giving an hour or two of your time to help us run the event?  If you can give us an hour or two, please provide your information here.  A board member will contact you next week.

Thanks.  We’ll see you at the park!

Board co-chair,

Ken Sherwood
