“Joining the Sail Share was a fantastic experience. We sailed all season long and benefited tremendously from our fellow Sail Share sailors’ expertise. Racing on Thursday nights was also an excellent way for us to perfect our skills and acquire new ones. Not to mention we made a lot of friends and had a blast!” – L. Keryluk
