Monthly Meetings: We meet the second Monday of each month at the Mississippi Flyway . The meeting starts at 7pm. Most members arrive at 6pm and have a meal before the meeting. The meeting always includes a special program of interest to all members in addition to the usual business meeting.
Race Series: See the Race Information page for a description
COLSA Cup Regatta: This is a six race series held over a two day weekend. On Saturday evening we reserve a table at a local restaurant to go over the days fun and stories. At the 2001 regatta we had six races and five different race winners.
Fourth of July Raft-up and Boat Decoration Contest: With the committee boat serving as party central, the cabin boat sailors adorn their boats with flags lights and anything else that presents the 4th of July spirit. Prizes are awarded in various categories. Fireworks can be viewed from this vantage point.
Run the Lake: Sail the length of Crab Orchard Lake and have a BBQ upon return to the marina.
Moon Light Sails: When the weather is perfect and the moon is full, why not go sailing. We usually gather at the shelter and head out around dusk. First ones back in build a fire and we sit and roast marsh mellows way into the night.....
Launch and Haul-Out Days: The hassle of man handling the mast, backing down the boat ramp and all that gets simpler with a little help from your COLSA friends. Various members supply equipment to make this task even simpler. A chili dump occurs after the work is done.
Bare Boat Cruising: Club members have organized bare boat cruises to Bimini island and the Florida keys. So far, everyone's made it back. For the rest of us the videos are a hoot.
Annual Meeting: We have had five annual meetings with great food, speakers, awards and pictures of the year's COLSA activities.
