Greetings!

We're gearing up for another amazing season but you don't have to wait for the big winds of summer. There are plenty of fun things to do around the clubhouse and out on the water! Have you made your plans for President's Day? Head out on Monday for some easy going weekday sailing! 

 

Don't forget to join us this Wednesday night to hear about the extraordinary adventures of a single handed race to Hawaii by our own Max Crittenden. Learn about things like how Max made the decision to do the race and what it took to get the boat ready. Max will also discuss the experience of single handing day and night for almost three weeks straight, arriving in Hawaii and the sail home. You're sure to enjoy hearing all about the adventures of a no-nonsense, straight shooter like Max. Click here to learn more about Max's journey! 

 

We look forward to seeing you soon!

ENTERTAIN YOUR CLIENTS!

  

 

Do you have a trade show coming up? Plan a day on the Bay with some key clients and your sales staff. We'll handle the boats so you can have some productive conversations. It will be a memorable time and solidify your relationship.

 

"It was very easy to see how the whole thing paid for itself in spades and made us the premiere Food Broker in the area!  We broke all kinds of sales records - and much of it could be traced directly back to our sailing relationships.  Sailing for Sales is not only profitable -it's FUN!!!"  J.M. - Food Broker
