Sponsor blue water races.

It would be fun to have an expert on a particular issue speak to us. For instance, have Gary Jobson talk to us about the America's Cup Challenge.



Have someone talk to us about the history and newest details of other major regattas.

Day sailing would provide members without boats the opportunity to join boat owners without having to make the commitment of sleeping over with all that entails

14

More blue water training, such as Delmarva circumnavigations.

See above suggestions.

Race weekends/ regattas. (lightly competitive, highly social).

19

More winter activities, lectures, etc.

20

Mandatory New member social/orientation (in person) so that individuals can meet fleet/club members in advance. This would help make a connection with people and possibly promote more camaraderie.

21

See comment about Rally from Maine south

22

Casual day sails where boat owners or crew can sail with the owners of another boat. Will increase people to people interaction especially after cheese snacks and a glass of wine !

24

More connection to boat owners making repairs or doing projects. I always need a hand!

25

Already asked & answered.

26

Connect Sailors Day;

Small boat activities;

More impromptu day or week-end sails

27

Better cruise planning with firm dates established by the end of April so one can plan their summer.

The Corinthians Ocean Race, the lobster run. My team at Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club keeps asking me when we will restore the Regatta. By the way, I have the Corinthian trophy permanently displayed at the boothay Harbor Yacht Club.

31

A DELMARVA cruise

32

I would like to have opportunities to crew and sail with people. Have a couple of weekends during the year where it is called 'take a stranger on board and see how it works out' at least you gave someone an opportunity. You may make a new friend. There would have to be some details worked out like how experienced is the crew person(s) and what are the expectations etc.

Skill Dev: We should partner with CCA for Suddenly Alone for our members, every year, in CB and North.

38

More opportunities for boatless members to get berths on larger boats and gain experience. This is the next stage for people who already know how to sail but haven't done long trips or gone offshore.

39

Speakers with blue water sailing/ racing.

40

Add Zoom to the events with informative presentations

41

42

Include pickleball/tennis in events

43

Provide an event with a symposium of different educational workshops such as sail trimming, diesel engine maintenance tips, new products, etc.

44

Regular Zoom-based / enhanced social gatherings. These worked and were enjoyable during the pandemic isolation but could be made viable today -- perhaps with a sailing-related topic as a focus. Examples cruising venues, electronics developments, etc.

45

46

Women's programs and leadership in the org.

47

Monthly - May to September - arrange a short race at weekends. Needs to be Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning to enable boats to assemble.

More skill building talks repeated more geographically

48

Lighthearted and fun 'races' to encourage sailors to stay out sailing instead of powering to an anchorage to start socializing.

49

More program speakers in LIS fleet and ability to 'attend' via ZOOM in program speakers in other fleets. While not as good as in-person attendance, at least I could enjoy the event that is too far for me to go to attend in person.
