About the MC Scow Fleet #4
We are the “Southern-Most” fleet of MC Scow. We are based at the beautiful Lake Eustis Sailing Club (LESC) in Eustis, Florida. We race every other weekend along with other fleets (Flying Scots and Wayfarers). We get 6-12 MCs on the line with very competitive racing. We host three regattas every year which bring top sailors from all over the US. All are 3-day regattas that are very well attended. In November, we host the Southeast Regional Regatta which brings about 45 competitors. In January, we host the Train Wreck Regatta that draws about 55. In March, we host the MCSA Midwinter Championship Regatta. This regatta is very competitive and has recently drawn 72 racers. Midwinters draws high level sailors including Rolex nominated, past Olympians, North American and National champions, Melges factory team, sailmakers, instructors and coaches.
Full membership is very reasonably priced and we also offer inexpensive regatta membership for competitors who live outside of Florida. This allows the racer to store the boat at the club from November to March so that the boat is onsite for the Triple Crown race series. Regatta members are also welcome to sail in club races.
Central Florida is a great pace to spend your winters or to move to. Our club has many snowbirds and we are within a half an hour of The Villages. Mount Dora is 15 minutes away and is a top destination, known for its old Florida charm, many great shops and restaurants.
If you have not visited the Lake Eustis website, take the opportunity! LESC offers a beautiful clubhouse and grounds, fun competition, camaraderie, boat storage, and a junior sailing program for all!
