FunToSail: CLUB

Inland NW Sailors are a group of "trailer sailors," SUP sailors (rec and racers), and kiters... Sailors in our club sail Sportboats (trailer-able keelboats) like the Malbec18, Potters, Catalina's, San Juans, etc., Daysailors like the awesome board boats the Rocket, Sunfish, Laser, and Multihulls such as the Hobie Wave and Hobie 16, etc. We primarily sail in N Idaho, Eastern WA, and NW MT (Sometimes Southern ID, UT, WY, Western WA). It's simple, we get together, help rig each other boats, and sail together.

Our main event is the Potholes Reservoir Splash (Just south of Moses Lake) and regular trips to Inland NW lakes.

You can find notice of events on our Calender, including short notice events in the comment section at the bottom of this page. Contact us via accesstoutdoors@gmail.com for club info.

Our dinghy fleet, which is are largest group encompasses sailors of all skill levels and abilities. We race each other but mostly just go out and have fun sailing together.

Don't know how to sail? No problem, take our small boat sailing classes.

Our Radio-Controlled Sailboat Fleet includes a mix of monohulls and various multihulls, etc. Our main class boat that we are currently developing is the T37 full on racing boat (primarily buy as kit to built) but we welcome all model sailboats. We sail at River Stone Pond or City Park in Coeur d'Alene; In Spokane county we will either sail on Bear Lake or Medical Lake (no powerboats allowed on either lake), Arthur Pond if not full of algae, or, if the current is mild at River Front Park near the bell tower on the south side (one of our favorite places to sail in Spokane). In Moses Lake either Activity Trial Park or McCosh Park. In Montana we sail at Frenchtown Pond State Park (17 miles east of Missoula) and up at Flathead (Big Arm State Park) and Whitefish we will sail from various parks noted in an invitation to sail. We mostly sail during late Fall or early Spring, and sometimes in the winter. During the warmer time of the year, we sail our full-size sailboats and sailing kayaks (Hobie Tandem Island).

In our effort to make sailing available to all we include Access To Outdoors as a resource to those with disAbilities who may need assistance. Learn more by visiting Access To Outdoors page!
