West Coast Sailing is celebrating 15 years (!) with a little video. I wish them a hearty happy birthday.
I have a rather special relationship with West Coast Sailing and its founder George Yioulos. As a Laser fleet captain and district secretary, I asked for and received help promoting the fleet as soon as they were on the scene. As a writer, I’ve leaned on George for helping me understand the marine industry. As a customer, they’ve always come through for me. As a sailor, I’ve seen WCS step up to sponsor and support both community sailing and some of our most notable international racers. Finally, WCS has been a great support to sailish.com.
West Coast Sailing deserves every bit of their success. And here’s their video:
