Fall Meeting & Winners' Dinner
|
|
Come help celebrate the Islander 36, and the Association's 45th year of sailing, racing, and cruising all around San Francisco Bay, and beyond. It's also a wonderful way to wrap up the year, getting dressed up a bit and enjoying the company of the skippers and crews you've sailed with all year. It is time for Owners, Crew, and Special Guests to celebrate at the Islander 36 Fall Meeting, Saturday evening, November 9th, at the Coyote Point Yacht Club. Our racing and cruising skippers will be recognized, and the racing winners and devoted cruisers will get their special awards. David Book will be our guest speaker tell about the preparation for and the sail to Hawaii with his I-36 Hangover. It's a great opportunity to learn how it's done and a chance to ask questions of someone who has done it. And if that's not enough, add this to your taste buds> The Menu Entrée Choices Chicken Marsala Braised Short Ribs> Coyote Point Yacht Club's bar will be open with a selection of wines and other beverages. Now for the important part: How much??? It is understood things have been tight all round lately so, for the Islander 36 Association 45th year, you get this fabulous evening, for only $40 per person (there is some Association subsidy included to get this bargain for you). Saturday Evening Schedule 5:30pm - 6:30pm Cocktails (no host bar) 6:30pm - 10:00pm Dinner, Awards (and Speaker.) The bar will remain open. Some boats may choose to come over on Friday evening for a potluck or just to gather early. Owners, mark your calendars, fill in the reservation form below, and then tell your spouse or First Mate this is the best way to say "Thank You" for putting up with you all season! Then, forward a link to this page to each of your crew. Crew, here's the deal. If your Skipper's other boat is a Farr 40, then the skipper should pay for all the long, wet hours and (maybe) verbal abuse you endured so the skipper could get the glory. On the other hand, each of you might consider the yard bills, entry fees, lunches, new sails & gear, and broken gear (you didn't have anything to do with the way that pole snapped) that your skipper swallowed so you could say you race on San Francisco Bay. Then you, dear crew, could collectively pick up the tab for your Skipper & First Mate. At the very least, you should bring your own best friend and attend Dutch Treat - after all the skippers couldn't have gotten the boat around the course without you, so you deserve recognition too. Besides, just think how much fun it will be to talk with other crews and find out what kind of a skipper that other guy really is anyway. Other Islander Owners & Non-Resident Members, here's your chance to visit the Bay Area and have some fun. You've been talking about, maybe even promising your spouse or First Mate, that, "One of these days, we ought to go to San Francisco and experience one of these things." Well, procrastinate no longer. If you ever wanted to come, this is a good one.
