The Sailing Foundation is one of the Northwest’s amazing sailing organizations. Andrew Nelson continues to do great work with the community sailing programs and youth in the area. Three TSF (The Sailing Foundation) events are coming up this weekend of note.
Friday April 6, 7-9pm CYC Seattle
Andrew Nelson will be giving a presentation at CYC Seattle on youth sailing in the region, how it’s changed in the past decade, what opportunities kids have, and where there’s still work to be done.
Saturday April 7, 7am-12pm Seattle Yacht Club
There will be a free Lifesling clinic at Seattle Yacht Club from 9-12. Learning how to use the Lifesling is just as important as having one attached to your stern pulpit. Call (206) 789-1919 to reserve a spot.
Saturday April 7, Blakely Rock Benefit Regatta
Sloop Tavern Yacht Club’s Carol Pearl Blakely Rock Benefit Race is one of this area’s best events as it’s fun, competitive and serves a good (different) cause every year. This year’s beneficiary is The Sailing Foundation. And don’t forget, Bruce Hedrick will be doing a weather brief here on sailish.com on Friday to get you ready!
