    Sailboats


    Vasona Lake hosts sailing classes for novice sailors

    Youngsters take advantage of sailing programs at Vasona Lake


    With their white sails flapping briskly against a blue sky, sailboats dot the cool, blue-green waters of Vasona Lake. Their cautious skippers and crews harness the wind to carry their vessels away from the safe docks and out into more open waters. The sailors hoisting these sails aren't the grizzled sea dogs that may spring to mind. They are youths between the ages of 8 and 15--some with prior boating skills but many with none--piloting sailboats between the tree-lined shores of Vasona Lake in the county park of the same name. They're all attending either Boating Day Camp or Beginning Sailing.   More
