On Saturday, the Richmond Yacht Club held their annual Sail a Small Boat Day, where they invite the community to come out and try a small sailboat. Our division showed up with a Bravo, a H20 and an FX-1 and took people out all day on a small basin inside of the breakwater. There were over 25 classes of boats, everything from Open Bics to Ultimate 20s. The Hobies were very popular, and if I could figure out a way to get the youth 29er sailors on 16 we'd be in pretty good shape.
I encourage every fleet, division and yacht club to get involved and do a try a Small Boat Day! For me, this kind of event is waaay better for exposure than the expenditure of a boat show.
