Volunteer Opportunities 

 

Have you really seen an Access Dinghy shine? Well, Waterfront Manager Sean Beale-Rosano is on a mission. Sean wants the Access Dinghies to be in better shape than ever and he needs your help.

 

For the rest of this week, and all of next, Sean and crew will be working hard to replace the rub rails, compound and wax the hulls, and get the joysticks and steering controls perfected!

 

If you are interested in helping Sean out email him or call the office!
