Together, we have come so far in supporting sailing on Grand Lake. Since the Grand Lake Sailing Foundation (GLSF) began in 2007, your generous donations have helped build an impressive fleet of 41 sailboats (Opti, Pram, Bug, Feva, Melges15, Flying Scot) allowing young sailors to progress from novice crew to racing skippers. Carrying on the legacy, your donations made possible the following programs and purchases in the last two years alone:
Committee Boat: Generously donated to run regattas and sailing school!
E-Scow Western Shootout: 100 Year Anniversary National E-Scow Regatta, support/co-organizing authority
One Melges 15 bridging Sailing School and Regatta Racing for advanced students/instructors
New Sailing Shed Plans are coming along for the new O'Fallon Sailing Shed.
ADA Hoyer lift; to assist sailors in the GL Adaptive Sailing program to access the sailboats safely.
Pram Sailboats expanding the Pram fleet to allow more beginner sailors on the water.
Instructor Training from US Sailing, providing a Sailing School model for structuring sailing skill progression.
Adaptive Sailing Certification from US Sailing for GL Adaptive Sailing instructors.
New Equipment: Feva spinnakers, Pram sails, rudders, transom plates tillers, and tiller extensions.
Star Sailing Program for Adaptive Sailing participants to attend Sailing School daily.

Sailing School Scholarships allowing sailing school to be more assessable.
Women on the Water empowers, teaches, and celebrates women sailors of all levels of experience.
