The big day is nearly upon us. Don't forget to bring all those items for the Nautical Raffle! For those who may have procrastinated and never gotten their registrations in the mail.....walk-ins are always welcome. See you Saturday!

Really enjoyed the event. As a first time attendee I found the group most welcoming.

Look forward to a possible summer float-in.

Thanks for putting on such a great event! Great start for the New sailing Year. Good food, good conversation, great stuff at the raffle and what a first class presentation by John Ring and the crew of Tiara (CD36) on how they brought home Silver from the 2017 Marion-Bermuda Race! They kicked butt, what an awesome job! Thank you Ruth & Leo MacDonald for hosting dinner and dark n’ stormys after. Great chile Ruth! :D

Sailing involves the courage to cherish adventure and the wisdom to fear danger. Knowing where one ends, and the other begins, makes all the difference.

Great picture John! Tiara looks like she was really cooking along. We really enjoyed your talk and learned a lot about the level of preparation and commitment it takes to do open ocean racing and be competitive. We also really enjoyed seeing all our CD friends once again this year. Thank you Jim Walsh and everyone else who worked on making such a successful meeting. :D
