Have you been out on the water since summer? Don't be a fair-weather sailor! Bring a friend, or email the listserv to find a buddy and give the boats some cool-weather exercise! Study up on wetsuits for dinghy sailing or ask to take a keelboat ride with a recent graduate of the keelboat classes!

Boat acquisitions:

The second boat is a Cal 3-30, which were only made between 1973-74. Know any neat links on these keelboats? Send them to curator@washingtonyachtclub.org
