And the Boat Work Goes on!

After a long fight with Vinyl last weekend it has all been finally removed!

Team member O.J was hard at work on the bottom sanding it down and prepping for bottom paint. The interior has finally been sanded all the way down, the floor boards have been removed and we are now looking into rebuilding them. Looking forward, the team still needs to paint the interior walls and floor, paint the bottom, wet sand the entire hull, touch up non-skid on the deck, work on the deck hardware, then clean her up, rig her and get her underway!

There is certainly more than enough work to go around, so if you find yourself bored on a weekend give us a call and we can put you to work!

Welcome Aboard STEALTH!

This Spring started off right with a great boat donation from the Turners. The Turners, passionate about sailing and members of Thames Yacht Club, donated their Evelyn 26 FD racer to the Team.

Thanks to SoundBoat Works of Westbrook, CT the boat now resides in their lower lot and is being refit for the racing season. With big events in the works like Block Island Race week and Figawi, the team could certainly use your help!

National Sailing Symposium

First, thanks to www.sailingscuttlebutt.com for posting an article about Team Chance on their front page! We received a lot of positive feedback from individuals and businesses. Our friends at McLaughlin Boatworks suggest we attend the National Sailing Symposium held annually in Clearwater, Fl to spread the word and network with others who are well immersed in the sport. After contacting the symposium we were offered the opportunity to be a presenter on Thursday evening, January 26. We will have a designated time to present Team Chance, meet others involved in the sport, and get feedback and support from others.

We are VERY excited about this opportunity, but we need your help to get there! In order for Team Chance to represent themselves at the symposium we need outside support to cover the cost of airfare, and food expenses for two. If you are able to help, please contact us at info@chancesailing.org. We know this event will help us tremendously and it will be beneficial in getting more kids on the water and having fun!

There is a beautifully crafted re-sail bag generously donated by Ella Vickers for whichever individual or company helps us the most to achieve this goal!

Thank you!

Team Chance
