Publicity – March 2017

Hello ECSC Members and Friends,

I have had many requests to add a “for sale” section to our web site.  I am currently working on this.  This section will be for members (active or inactive) to advertise boats, boat parts, and boat services for sale or wanted.  I consider this to be a useful service to our members. I will include rules for for use on this page. I expect it will be for private party (club members) sellers only. Also, postings will be free for members and will be posted for a two month period. If your item does not sell it will automatically be removed.  You can always request it to be re-posted if the item is still available.

As a resource for our club members, I be adding a page to list local individuals and companies that do sailboat or engine work. Since “Sailboats” closed it’s doors last year many people have been asking who else in town does boatwork or engine work. I am including several contacts below and will be working to assemble a more complete list on the website in the future. If any businesses or individuals would like to be included please email me at http://publicity@ecsail.org and I will add you to this list.

A few reminders from our committee heads, Visit the Racing Page and sign up for Race committee duty. Come to the Race Meetings, they have been very informative.  Email Kenny and volunteer for our many work projects  and work parties planned for 2017. Contact our Social Chair and take on chairing a social event.  Check out this months Social article on specific needs for Social hosts. All of these activities are not only fun, but you earn valuable work credits to apply to next years dues.

See you on the water,

Rick Graef
