We are taking a break from sailing news this week so we can get you a full recap of all the holiday weekend events. If you have news that you would like to submit for the Commodore’s Cup, Race and Racquets, or the Annual Regatta, please fill out the form here.
Until then, read more about an opportunity to recycle your old sails with Sea Bags of Maine, motorboat comfort training, sailing lessons, and free sailing being offered by the staff.
Sea Bags Sail Pick Up Next Tuesday
The van from Sea Bags in Portland will be stopping by the EYC to grab some extra sails that are out of service. If you'd like to contribute to keeping the planet sustainable, drop your Dacron/polyester sails (no plastic mylar sails and no nylon spinnakers) at the tennis shack bulkhead door on Tuesday, July 11 before noon. Please tag or write with a sharpie on your sails: your name, email and home address. Chris Bryan of Sea Bags will send you a bag in about 4 weeks in gratitude for your contribution.
