Indiana Area High School students enjoyed a nice breeze for their first experience sailing at Yellow Creek this Sunday. The sailors are part of a new club which gives the students the chance to learn about and then practice sailing.

IHS student Will Ferguson takes the helm of a Hunter 170 sailboat.

Club advisors are FOYC volunteers Nathanael Arthurs and Beth Rettig. The two are experienced sailors who will introduce sailing “theory” at IHS during club days. Then everyone gets to test their skills on the water at Yellow Creek.

Currently Friends of Yellow Creek gives access to adult and community sailors through the Community Sailing Base. FOYC also hosts the IUP sailing club. FOYC co-chair Ken Sherwood oversees sailing instruction with the various groups.
