Fleet Committee is Making Ready for the Season

Greetings all. I hope this month’s article finds you well. As we continue to work our way through what has become the new normal for 2020, we anxiously await the return of some semblance of normal and a return to our activities on the River and the Bay. Since last month, the fleet committee has undertaken a healthy discussion on the future of Gabi, our Irwin 25. The overwhelming response was to look in to repowering Gabi with an inboard diesel engine. The search is on for an engine that will serve her well. Abandoning the inboard gasoline engine will be a HUGE safety improvement. The addition of an inboard diesel powered boat will give club members the option of a boat that is more well suited for longer trips with adequate power to undertake some more serious cruising. The Board also unanimously approved the sale of the donated power boat. Funds from this sale will be used to purchase a small skiff to be used as a mark boat/safety boat for adult sailing, junior sailing, and our regattas. Again, your fleet committee is staying busy during the off season, and we look forward to the lifting of restrictions so we can get moorings and boats in the water.

See you on the water (soon I hope),

Scott Titus

Fleet Captain
