We sail on little Lake Harriet. The community is really active there, and from what I'm told it's a little more interesting than Calhoun as the winds are much more variable. That's due to all the obstructions and variation around the lake. The band shell in particular creates a deadspot or sweetspot on some days. I joined the Twin Cities Sailing Club in August, I'm a newb ;), know just enough to be dangerous: http://tcsailing.com/tcsc/ http://tcsailing.com/tcsc/ The people in this club are seriously cool people, a great group. Everyone is very generous in terms of teaching less experienced sailors, I've seen nothing but generosity when it comes to tiller time. I think we have about a dozen boats or so, a mix of scows and daysailers. There are club days twice a week where you can crew up with a skipper and hit the lake. Once you pass your skipper tests, you can take the boats out anytime you please. Annual dues are $200 or so I think. Oh and we are having our annual banquet November 7th: http://www.socializr.com/event/830239512/1867039201 http://www.socializr.com/event/830239512/1867039201 If you are not quite ready for putting down $200 and just want to try things out, definitely hit me up in May and I'd be more than happy to take you out!
