What is Medicine Lake Sailing Club?
We're a small sailing club on Medicine Lake, with approximately 50 members, and with one common interest: We want to sail well, race, and enjoy the sport. Our members are at all levels of experience and ability. You will be sailing with experts and beginners.
If you’re an expert and love competition, but not contention, you’ve found a home.
