The Cayuga Lake Cruising Fleet (CLCF) is a group of sailors who promote the sailing of dinghies and keelboats on Cayuga Lake. Keelboats enjoy a Spring Series, Summer Mid Distance Series, and a Fall Series. Dinghies, primarily Lasers, informally race each Sunday off the Club point. The CLCF also hosts the annual "Red Jacket Race", a 20-mile race to a dinner at the Red Jacket Yacht Club on the North end of Cayuga Lake. For more information: http://www.cruisingfleet.org/.

The Laser is an Olympic class sailboat sailed competitively across the globe.
She is a single-handed boat, simple enough to make it a great boat to learn
on, yet with performance to satisfy experienced racers. Every Laser in the
World is identical. Strict One-Design class rules ensures that remains true,
making it the sailor that wins the race, not the boat. She comes in three sail
rig configurations to match a sailor’s size and weight: Standard, 76
sqft, Radial, 61sqft and the 4.7, 51 sqft. The IYC is a member of the North
American Laser Class Association, District 9. The IYC hosts District 9 events
and traditionally sends Laser sailors to local, regional and international
events. More informal Laser sailing occurs on Sunday mornings from the IYC
beginning in April lasting until late December.

The Lightning is a sloop rigged sailing dinghy originally designed by Olin
Stephens of Sparkman & Stephens in 1938 and was first sailed on Skaneateles
Lake, Skaneateles, NY, USA. More than 15,000 Lightnings have been built since
then. There are over 500 fleets of Lightnings worldwide, many of which participate
in dinghy racing. There is room in the cockpit for four to daysail, but a crew
of three is employed when racing. Ithaca represents Fleet 484 of the Central
New York Lightnind District. The IYC hosts annual Lightning regattas and sends
sailors to many regional and national events.

"Winner of the "Boat of the Year" Award by Sailing World magazine
for 2010, the Weta looks and performs like a high-performance race boat. But
the it is also stable, forgiving and easy to sail. Advanced sailors will appreciate
the trimaran's performance and with the easy set up, people that don't normally
have the patience will find themselves grinning ear-to-ear on a 15 knot reach.
Ithaca Yacht Club is one of the first clubs in the US to have an established
fleet of these hot new one-design dinghies."
