The lake is incredible. Great water quality mixed with being surrounded by the picturesque Adirondack mountains explain why Lake George is called Queen of the American Lakes.
However the mountains make for some pretty variable winds. It's not unheard of to turn more than 180 degrees and remain on the same tack. There's a fair sized racing community (that we haven't participated in for a long time) and quite a lot of pleasure sailors, but jetskis and powerboats make up the majority of the boat traffic.

I'm told that the aft winches (and their bases) were installed by my grandfather in the late 70s to use with the spinnaker sheets.

We went out last night, and the wind was actually very good, here are a couple pictures:

So I'm new to this forum, and figured I'd post a couple pictures of our Commander, Commander 205. It's been in the family, and kept in the same inland lake in Upstate New York for the last 40 years. We are the second owners.

It's seen better days, but we are in the process of fixing things one by one, to try to improve the overall state of the boat.

Here are some pictures:
