In 1995, Mo Laidlaw authored and published a 96 page book titled “Nepean Sailing Club, 1979 to 1994, The First Fifteen Years”, as shown below.

Michael McGoldrick scanned his version of the book — read it here. Thanks Michael!
A new web page has been created, showing the wind & weather over the past 24 hours, in 10-minute increments. This page was created based on feedback from members who commented that they liked to review the winds from their sail the previous day.
NSC is remarkably young as sailing clubs go, but the history of how NSC emerged from a shallow part of Graham Bay to become one of Canada’s largest and most active sailing clubs is a remarkable story worth sharing. Hence, we have created a new History page.
Dated posts, i.e.: posts of past and completed events such as socials and meetings, are now “hidden” upon completion.

We look forward to seeing many of you at the AGM Thursday night. It’s a packed agenda and the new Public Relations Director, Stephen Kidd, will give a short presentation—a first glimpse for members—of NSC’s new website. We’re working to ready it to launch very soon.
