Thanks so much for coming out to the Fish Fry on Friday!

We are so grateful to the wonderful turnout we had on Friday at The FISH Fry! It was amazing to see so many familiar faces and meet new people who are interested in being coming members of the Sloop Club. Thank you to those of you who made a donation or became members on Friday and we look forward to seeing you soon!​

The even was such a success due to the hard and generous work of our Sloop Club volunteers and we want to thank especially: Gavi, Nicole and Jon for harvesting ramps, frying fish and whipping up delicious salads for all, Sean, Margot, Sam, Edwin and Cara for spearheading the membership and donation station and getting the space inside and out looking great! And Brian for documenting the whole thing! And thanks to all of you for coming out!

Our Classes, 5/6

Last week at Kite's Nest the kids built toolboxes to house the hand-tools they have been learning to use, took an walk down to the waterfront to carve their boat models, told stories and continued to make progress on their skin boat, barge, and sailing skiff with Nick.

​In the adult class that evening we used the steam box to bend the kelson, attached the stem, stem knee, and transom.
