One observation is that Assoc members tend to migrate with members they know at social events. Like to see more outreach from senior members to engage new members

Camaraderie among Corinthians suffer because each Fleet does not have a physical location to casually meet and dine at whim. The Mystic Fleet has found such a location...a hotel at the Seaport in Mystic. Perhaps other brick and mortar locations may be found in Annapolis, Newport, Marblehead, Fairfield Cty, etc.

A regular racing day each week after work where people can crew with others they do not know. It is the same day each week so you can work it into your work schedule. I miss doing those things.

Create a youtube-like library of short video snippets where members introduce themselves, their boats, and their sailing interests to others.

Happy Hour events

Happy hours or events free to prospective members that add value and opps for org to seek new members.

A regular speaker series/programs in the CT area. Perhaps monthly or bi monthly

Simple weekend racing with crewing opportunities. Members may be more comfortable with having strangers on their boat if it is for and hour or two.

Sailing on each others boats such as switching crews for a day. That would teach us different skills and practices and style of helming.

Program meetings with discussions about what was presented, such as the sinking of the Bayesian, etc.

work with a youth sailing program to encourage an interest in membership opportunities

Raft ups in safe coves.

Speakers series

We have a diverse range of events already, and those who come have a good time. How do we get more folks to come? Activities and events need advocates. Frostbite 2024 is an example of what works.
