Sailing Class 2017
I know we say it every year but… We had a great sailing class this weekend, always a feat of organizing for our Sailing Committee, with 12 volunteer instructors and 10 students and all the challenges that an outdoor weather dependent sport present.
More on that Flag Day paddle to the dance.
I don’t remember exactly when the idea for this trip first came up.

Sailing Committee Report – 2017
Another season is upon us and our Spring Race Series is almost complete as I write this report.

Boat Shop News – The Point Comfort 23
After a year and nine months of construction, we actually have an end in sight for Canarsian, the club’s new launch and safety boat. A boat this size, even a simple one like our center console Point Comfort 23, has what seems like an endless number of details to resolve and acres of surface area to sand, epoxy coat, sand, paint, and did I mention sand?…
