The Skipper at the helm of a 12 Meter Greetings!

Our very next event at the boat shop is coming up this Saturday where we will make decisions regarding the boat or boats that we will be building.  I would encourage you to join us if you want have a say in this very important discussion. Although this event is scheduled for only an hour be sure to bring a lunch and join us for an extended time of discussion and camaraderie. See September 5th listing under Upcoming Events below.

I look forward to your joining us at that time.

Your Skipper,
Ray Hartjen



Upcoming Events 2009


New Boat Discussion . . . Saturday, September 5th 10 - 11AM

The Boat Committee will be meeting at the Community Boat Shop to present and discuss ideas for the next boat to be built at the boat shop by member volunteers. The parameters of the boat being considered are: carvel or lapstrake row boat 10 - 12 feet in length that may or may not be designed to carry a small motor. All members are welcome to listen to the discussion and comment. If you have an idea for a boat, please e-mail Pierce Hance prior to the date of the meeting at sagmb2@strategicadvisorygroup.com. The boat selected will be built over the winter and raffled off next year to help support the Community Boat Shop.

HarborFest in Sag Harbor, NY . . . Friday, September 11th through Sunday, September 13th

HarborFest is our primary display event of the year. Join us to spend a few hours helping to sell raffle tickets or enticing HarborFest visitors to join our ranks. We have an ideal location on Long Wharf, the village dock, where almost everyone who visits the festival comes by to admire the craftsmanship of the classic boats we'll have on display.

Maritime Festival in Greenport, NY . . . Friday, September 18th through Sunday, September 20th

This will be our second year at the Greenport festival.  Pat Mundus, who now resides in Greenport, is working with the event directors.  She has secured an ideal location for our display of classic boats. We will be in Mitchell Park, which is on the waterfront where the popular antique carousel is located. We will need your support there also in terms of time at our display selling raffle tickets and encouraging people to join our organization.

Annual Holiday Dinner Party at the Community Boat Shop, Amagansett, NY . . . Saturday, December 19th, 6:30PM to 10PM

In late fall you will receive an invitation to our annual holiday dinner party. We will be raffling off the Swampscott dory at the party!
Your Skipper,
