Another Season Underway

The first skippers meeting for 2022 was held on Wednesday, January 19, via Zoom with almost twenty attending. The agenda included the 2022 schedule, ideas for improvement, nominations for committees and officers, class designations, as well as the February and March training sessions.

Tim Wright is hard at work preparing and organizing videos and photos to help with the Zoom session on Wednesday, February 16, at 7:00 p.m. Among the responses to his questionnaire were some good suggestions. One in particular was to have a sails/knots/tuning session near the start of the season. It would have to be outside, but we can come up with a specific plan closer to the date. It might be helpful to also have one during the boatbuilding session in July.

It will be a few months before the dock goes in and boats hit the waters of Back Bay. In the meantime, all the preseason prep is in the works. Items needed for the building class are being made, boat kits for the younger set are progressing well, town permits have been submitted for approval on February 16, and all the other incidentals are on their way to completion.

The skippers themselves are hard at work refurbishing boats and building new ones. We never have enough boats.
