Discover Sailing Rides and Free Kid’s Lessons Exceed Expectations
Despite some small hiccups in our summer weather for the Boats Afloat Show on Lake Union, Friday, Saturday and Sunday exceeded expectations, as folks lined up at the 48° North/Discover Sailing booth to take advantage of the free sailboat rides and kid’s sailing lessons; to get out on the water for a taste of what this sailing thing is all about. Many of the parents, whose kids had already been out on the Hobies for their lesson, then signed up for a family sail aboard the “big boats.” After all, why should the kids have all the fun? Big boat rides were generously provided by Seattle Sailing Club (J/105, J/80), Marine Servicenter (Hunter 27e) and Windworks (Bavaria 32). Their efforts are greatly appreciated, along with those of the volunteers who skippered the boats and shared their enjoyment and knowledge of sailing with a truly wide-ranging group of sailing samplers. Sail Sand Point provided Hobie Waves and instructors for the kids, some of whom had been sailing before, but mostly were wide-eyed newbies giving it a first try.
All in all a very exciting time for boating and boaters in the Northwest. New boat designs and innovations had people buzzing on the docks. We look forward to continuing the buzz on the pages of 48° North as we sail the new arrivals in the upcoming months.
