July e-Newsletter Be safe and be LOCAL! So many of our favorite open events have been cancelled this year (sad not see our friends and catch up post race stories) but now it is the time of social distancing, safe sailing and thinking local. Stay home, wear a mask, stop the spread and participate in your local events (socially distanced of course). Are you a sailor with some talents both on the water or on shore? Now is the time to give back and support the grass roots sailing. Consider teaching a social distancing rigging clinic to your local fleet or volunteer to help your junior program as a guest coach/speaker mask on, teach others how to operate a scoring program... or just spend some time organizing your clubs RC equipment closet (everyone has one that needs a mid-season clean out/up)! Find a way to pitch in and give back to our sport in your own way! It is a great time to strengthen our sport at the grassroots level (socially distanced & masked of course).... so when the restrictions lift we can encourage more to join us out on the water. Reminder... for all those businesses that have contributed to your youth sailing fundraisers or as regatta/event sponsors, now is the time to support them back. Throw back Thursday!
