Welcome Spring!
The time has come to start thinking about sailing and getting ready for the summer.

Plese consider staying for the Sailor's Dinner which will follow. It promises to be an evening of food, drink and fun. The spring party is open to everyone: Lightning owners, crew, skippers, sailors, those interested in getting involved, as well as friends and family. Attendance is strongly encouraged.
