Sail for the Visually Impaired 

 

Saturday, October 15, 2011  

 

 

It takes a lot of people to make this event a huge success every year. 

 

We are looking for volunteers to act as escorts for our guests as they arrive, and to help them get to their assigned boat.  We also need volunteers to help in the dining room, serving breakfast and lunch, and clean up after the event.

SVI Sailboat

 

If you can spare a morning, an afternoon or the whole day,  click here to send us an email.  Just give us your name, a contact phone number and the hours of your availability. 

 

Skippers, if you can donate your time AND your boat, please contact
  Bob Bray of ALYC. 

 

 
Moorings All Taken?
No Worries!
Local author, Cap'n Marc Hughston has made it easy for us SoCal sailors to enjoy Catalina any time of the year . . . even during those crowded summer months when moorings are not so easy to come by.
 
Get your own copy of Cap'n Hughston's popular Catalina anchoring guide.
