Don't Forget!

Sail Trimming Presentation

Mark your calendars for February 3rd @ 3:00pm. Our own Century Club member, Dan Elliot, of Midwest Sails and Canvas will be giving a talk on sail trimming. This will take place prior to the hors d'oeuvres party that is scheduled for that evening. Club members are encouraged to bring one or multiple friends to this talk. It's a great way to showcase the club and Dan has a lot of knowledge to share on sail trimming and we're fortunate that he wants to pass it on.


Thank you Dan!
