And a photo request from our Vice Commodore
I am in search of photos. If possible photos from the year 2000 and photos from 1975ish. I know there are not many founding members left but if possible that we could pull together 6 photos from the beginning of the club i would appreciate it. I am sure there are 6 photos from 2000 floating around. Hopefully atleast one of the bridge for those years?
Marks and Moorings Work Party
The Marks and Moorings work party was held on a very windy and sunny Apr. 27. More photos can be found on the Social Photos page.
March Meeting

Boat and Crew Finder
To help prospective crew to find race boats, and boats to find crew, we have set up a Boat and Crew Finder page. The information will be moderated by our Vice Commodore, and you submit your information at the finder page. There is a permanent link to the finder page in the Racing pull down menu.
