SUPPORT SsYC'S KIDS FLEET UPGRADE! We're excited to announce our ongoing fundraising event to replace our aging fleet of Hobie Hawks with 5 brand-new Open Bics! Thanks to the incredible support at last week's auction, we raised nearly $3,000, which will go directly toward this exciting purchase. This upgrade will provide our young sailors with modern, safe, and dynamic boats to improve their skills and enjoyment on the water. The fundraising campaign runs from now until mid-January, so there's still time to help us reach our goal. Every contribution brings us closer to making this vision a reality. Join us in supporting the future of kids sailing at SsYC! Please direct any questions to Ludo Labat or Tim Brock.
