SEA's Annual Member Meeting at Saylors!

When: Thursday, October 18
6pm-9pm (Happy Hour @ 6pm)

Where: Saylor's Restaurant (upstairs in the Cabo Wabo Room), 2009 Bridgeway Blvd. Sausalito

Join us for happy hour at 6pm. Meeting begins at 7pm.

This is a very important meeting to give recognition to our many very special volunteers this year, many of whom have spent countless hours instructing, fixing boats, and attending meetings to ensure others can affordably and safely learn and enjoy the art of sailing on The SF Bay and beyond. We want them to know how much we appreciate them!

We will also review the year's accomplishments and challenges. There have been many things to celebrate, but we also have some big issues to discuss.

It's election time! A new Board of Directors will be elected to help steer SEA into its 30th year. And, we look forward to a big celebration next year!

Date: August 16, 2012
Time: 7pm - 9pm
Location: Cavallo Point, Mariposa Borracha Boardroom

Join SEA at the amazing Cavallo Point hotel for this important board meeting. SEA had a very successful 2012 youth sailing season. Sailing Summer Camp has been running at max. capacity with waiting lists. A new Family Sailing program has emerged attracting sailing families who enjoy hiking out with children. We've launched an afternoon youth sailing program in Sausalito for the Spring, Summer and Fall.  And, Camp Clipper, our important youth outreach program in Sausalito, sailed in fair winds this season, thanks to our very generous sponsor, FISH Restaurant.

However, our adult program has suffered the burden of its past successes. In 2011 we taught 12 sessions to over 90 students, but this seriously taxed our volunteer instructors. This year we have been unable to keep up the pace and need to reassess our adult program business model.

SEA is having amazing success with its youth sailing programs this year. Sailing Summer Camp has been running at max. capacity with waiting lists. A new Family Sailing program has emerged attracting sailing families who enjoy hiking out with children. We've launched an afternoon youth sailing program in Sausalito for the Spring, Summer and Fall.  And, Camp Clipper, our important youth outreach program in Sausalito, sailed in fair winds this season, thanks to our very generous sponsor, FISH Restaurant.

However, our adult program has suffered the burden of its past successes. In 2011 we taught 12 sessions to over 80 students, but this seriously taxed our volunteer instructors. This year we have been unable to keep up the pace and need to reassess our adult program.

We are happy to announce that effective November 21st SEA has elected a new President of the Board, Karri Ving. Congratulations Karri!

A big thank you goes out to Eric Batalden for having steered the ship throughout 2011.

Karri returns to SEA, having had many a turn leading this organization as volunteer, board member, former Director and most recently as checked out Skipper.
