HEART OF SAILING SETS EVENT RECORD
This past weekend in Portland , Oregon , Heart of Sailing set a personal record for the most participants ever in a weekend Daysail event.
From Friday July 10 through Sunday, July 12 more than 245 attendees from 68 families sailed with our volunteer crew during a special event sponsored by our partners and friends, Eric Hamblen and Kathi Calouri from PACE Place. The event could not have been a success without the equipment and assistance provided by long-time Sponsor and volunteer De Henderson, the owner of Island Sailing Club. Staff members included Josh, Rhys, Britt and Alan (who also served as Captain). read more
Please mark your calendar for September 5th for our next event in Portland, where we will be offering more free sailboat rides, free lunch, outdoor games and craft at our Resource Fair, courtesy of PACE Place, Island Sailing Club and Columbia Crossings.
Please stay tuned as we are scheduling more events nationwide to celebrate the end of the sailing season.
