We are as discreet as needed at the same time complying with all of the IRS regulations. You join an elite group of serious sailors who have joined at this level. You are free from future dues and any dues increases. Your name is maintained in perpetuity. It's inevitable, we all end up on that race course in the sky.
Sailing needs considerable financing to get to the next levels to improve the sport.
One ideal offers the ability to give one sailing school away a year. Can you imagine a club with a good number of youths and a motivated parent structure that applies for a dozen sailboats, a safety boat with motor and funds to train and certify the Club's selected instructor. Then one day a truck pulls up to that club with an instant sailing school. Right now roughly of Clubs on Lake Michigan have a sailing school. It would be a great thing to get all Club's on the Lake bringing new sailors into our chosen sport.
