On The Water: Learning To Sail On Chickamauga Lake

On Chickamauga Lake
Privateer Sailing Education Foundation
On Chickamauga Lake

On Chickamauga Lake, this is the season for learning to sail - for recreational sailing and sailboat racing.

The Privateer Sailing Education Foundation - which teaches sailing on the lake and hosts sail camp each summer - is located at Privateer Yacht Club, which is about as old as the lake created by the TVA’s completion of the Chickamauga Dam in 1940.

I spoke recently with Amber Wattenbarger, the foundation’s board president.
