For several years now we have had a blast taking a group to the Chicago Boat, RV, and Sail Show (formerly Strictly Sail) and we are going again in 2018! We will be coordinating transportation for Saturday, January 13. We are considering renting a bus depending on the number of sailors interested; otherwise we will coordinate a carpool. Attendees will enjoy opportunities to climb on some awesome sailboats (pro tip: wear clean socks without holes) and can check out the latest products from a variety of vendors. There are various learning opportunities and seminars for sailors available for all skill levels and interests. Check out all the details here. The show starts at 10 AM and transportation will depart Neenah around 7 AM and return that evening. Tickets are $15 if purchased online by 1/9/2018, or $17 at the door. We will split the cost of gas for a car pool. If you are interested in attending please contact Sail Promotion Director, Dan Reichardt at sailpromotion@nnyc.org. (If you are willing to be a carpool driver please let us know and include the number of passengers you can comfortably fit).
