The Pittsburgh Council fleet includes Flying Juniors, Sunfish, and an International 470. Several members also use their own sailboats. Most of our day sailing trips and classes will be on Lake Arthur in Moraine State Park near Butler, Pennsylvania. We often participate in activities and races with the Moraine Sailing Club. Additional weekend trips and extended trips are also planned.
Most trips require previous sailing experience.
This generally means a minimum of a Red Cross certified Basic Sailing Class or equivalent. Participants for all sailing activities must be in good physical condition and be able to pass minimum Red Cross recommendations for swimming competency. Personal Floatation Devices are required on all trips. Individuals with their own sailboats are encouraged to join our program. We also need individuals with trailer hitches to pull the sailboat trailers.
