Round Alameda		 Happy New Year 1/1/25 'Round Alameda
Partly cloudy and cool, but calm winds ushered in 2025 for your Islander 36 Association fleet. 23 Folks aboard 5 Islanders representing 8 Islanders in total enjoyed a smooth ride past the three bridges and floated effertlessly into Aeolian Yacht Club at 1100 hours on a tide rising toward 7'. Delicious chili, plain and jalapeno cornbread, and plenty of toppings washed down with Gin Fizzes and Bloody Mary's made for a delicious lunch. Most departed at 1215 at peak high tide to venture west through the Bay Farm Bridge to tread the thin water along the San leandro Channel to reach the deeper water of South San Francisco Bay to complete a circumnavigation. Also spotted by Vanishing Animal was I-36 sail #20 heading west at 0914 leaving the Estuary, and spotted again returning from Sam's restaurant in Tiburon by Luna Sea around 1430.

Fall Fun		 Fall 2024 Newsletter
You will really enjoy our newsletter Editor's article about Jubilee Getting New Hardware. When you first start to read it you'll probably looking for winches, blocks and similar, but it's not about that. It's about why we sail our Islander 36s - don't skip that one! Similarly, Blondie going beyond the gate is yet another example of the joys of the I-36 life. Enjoy these and the rest of yet another wonderful Newsletter. Fall 2024 Newsletter (5 MB).


Fall Meeting		 Fall Meeting at CPYC 11/16/24
A beautiful, blue-sky sunny Saturday was the perfect setting for our 2024 Fall Meeting and Winners Celebration lunch at Coyote Point Yacht Club. Seventeen Islander 36s were represented by 28 people and enjoyed a great buffet lunch, an informative talk by Fleet Measurer Kit Wiegman (Cassiopeia) and a wonderful surprise visit from 91 year old founding member Lou Zevanov. Lou gave an impromptu talk on the earliest days of the Association and how, at one point, there were about 150 Islander 36s in the greater Bay Area. And to top it off, we've got a 1 hour and 11 minute cellphone video of both their talks, the business part of the meeting, and the annual awards presentation. Fall Meeting
