Sailing in South Dakota
Boaters from all over set sail at Lewis & Clark Lake.
-
-
250 sailboats are docked at Lewis and Clark Lake in Yankton. -
Ideal wind speeds range from about 10-20 mph. Whitecaps usually ensure a rocky sail. -
The sailing crafts range from 40 foot Catalinas to Hobie Cats. -
Storms like to follow the Missouri; a few years ago high winds forced docks to dislodge and several boats were crushed. -
Sailboating terms (such as port and starboard, halyards, sheets, tacking, ready about and hard alee) used on ocean yachts are still used during inland sailing. -
South Dakotans also sail the waters of Lake Oahe, the Missouri at Platte and several Black Hills Lakes. -
Sailors from 200 miles around dock their sailboats at Lewis and Clark Lake. -
Despite the 250 sailboats docked at Yankton, you can still find yourself alone on the lake.
