Postcards from the 2006
The Charley Noble
Boat Show Season!
A
SA had a very busy boat show season
starting with Annapolis in October and F
or those of you reading this column in Hodges Bay,
thanks for joining the members, instructors and
staff of the American Sailing Association for our
ending in April with Pacific Sail. We were second annual American Sailing Week in Antigua! We’ve
also a part of the San Diego, Chicago and Miami got a great schedule planned for
shows. Highlights included taping a spot for “I the week including great meals,
saw it at the Boatshow” with Latitudes and parties, live bands and, of course,
Attitudes and fabulous ASA get togethers in lots of sailing.
Miami and Oakland with live music by Tom Varley.
Come join us next year for all the fun! Check out
the 2007 schedule at www.strictlysail.com.
If you were one of the would-be
guests who tried to sign up after
all the rooms were sold out, don’t
despair. (We more than doubled
the attendance from last year.)
We’re already planning next year’s
event. If you can’t wait until next year, consider
attending the ASA Fall Flotilla the first week of
December later this year.
Over the next year or two, ASA hopes to add additional
member sailing events throughout the year. So please let
our staff and affiliate schools know more about what
kind of events you would like to see! Please email Kathy
Christensen, our membership coordinator at
kc@american-sailing.com to let her know the ‘what,
when and where’ of the kind of events in which you’d
like to participate, and we’ll see what we can provide.
Fair winds!
Charlie
“Charley Noble” is the old time nautical name for the
smokestack over a galley ... So I’ll try to keep any “hot air”
in the American Sailing Journal confined to this column.
