Due to the unusually low wind/water temperatures along with higher than average winds, racing for Week 1, May 2, 2017 had been cancelled. We will still be meeting at Brewster’s on Portage Road for anyone interested at 7 PM so we can brag about, “we wanted to sail, but everyone else didn’t!”

Year End Awards Banquet – October 29, 2016
Hi Everyone!
Wanted to remind all of you of our upcoming party/dinner/meeting next week. We will be gathering in our own room at Comensoli’s in downtown Kalamazoo. We start with a cocktail hour with fleet provided appetizers, then move to dinner (family style salad also provided by fleet), then will have our annual officer elections/trophy awards. Please RSVP to Julie at crew480@yahoo.com with your dinner choice. The attached flyer will give you details of the menu. Also, I will be finding out what the weekly special is going to be very soon, so will send an update out with the specifics of that dish. I’m so looking forward to it, it’s going to be a great time!
