View this email in your browser Issue 10: October, 2023 It’s sad to see the season end as our fleet heads to winter storage at the Canal Street Marina. But the work and fun doesn't stop there! There’s plenty involved in putting our boats to bed for the season and getting them in shape for 2024. Check out volunteer positions at my.sailchicago.org and sign up to be part of a boat team. It’s a great way to learn about our boats and make sailing buddies for the next season. Also, don’t forget the End of Season Banquet and silent auction on October 12. Celebrate a great season and connect with members, new and old! — Meighan Depke, Editor End of Season Dinner and Auction 2023 End of Season Dinner: Thursday, October 12 2023 Columbia Yacht Club, 6:30pm-9:30pm Last chance to register for the End of Season dinner at Columbia Yacht Club! The event includes a buffet, non-alcoholic beverages, and a cash bar. The evening's program will include committee chairs sharing their season successes and education about how newer sailors can get involved in 2024. See the link below to register and view the menu.  The event is open to members and 1 guest. $30 per person.

Upload Photos Congratulations Class of 2023 The board and leadership of Sail Chicago would like to offer our warmest compliments to our skipper class of 2023. Congratulations on your achievement! Salman Ali, Alexander Brand, Meighan Depke, Louisa Fitzgerald, William Haggerty, Cara Jaques, Jiyoung Kang, Samuel Leist, Jon Lindberg, Joy Dantong Ma, Paul May, Gary Nitz, Hannes Ortmann, Natalia Povarova, Christopher Prattos, Andrew Proctor, Robert Reed, Laura Reilly, Aaron Sartin, Alan Street, Stan Szwalek, Dan Tzoumas, Arjun Wadnerkar, Alec Weege, Aleksey Zakharov As new skippers, the best thing you can do now is sail! Time on boats getting practical hands-on experience is the best way to continue learning while developing a sense of wind, weather, and sea. This experience results in the circumspection and judgement that together make up that quality we call "seamanship."  When Sail Chicago skippers sign the "Keelboat Skipper Personal Statement" we acknowledge that achieving skipper status doesn't mean that we're great sailors—it means we promise to continue learning and growing. We wish you the best on your sailing journey and see you on the water— we all look forward learning with you.
