Oct 2, 2025 | News

The Landings Sailing Club (TLSC) sailors were back on the water in September, with frequent sailings up and down the river every week, with racing returning to the Wilmington River on the weekends.

The Chatham Sailing Club Oktoberfest Regatta was held September 27-28. Both Rhodes 19s and J/24s from our club competed. Although day one was light and shifty, day two offered spirited racing in a steady breeze. Overall, Scholar came in 1^st in the Rhodes class, followed by Uno Mas and Peter Pan. Bonnie Blue came in 3^rd amongst larger racing boats in the spinnaker class, followed by Gone with the Wind.
