| Sam
Waddell became Commodore of The Sailing Club for 1978.
In
January, The Sailing Club's Board of Directors formulated a
plan to dissolve the Club. The Board's
reasons were that the social functions were not well attended and
the majority of the membership was not interested in the main
purpose of the the Club, which is teaching sailing. Also
membership had dropped to 28. |

The Sailing
Club was not dissolved, however. It was voted to continue the
Club, but with implementation of steps for improvements.
Basic
Sailing courses continued to be offered, with American Red Cross
sponsorship.
Bill Galle
continued to lead the planning for the addition of an Advanced
Sailing Course to the Club's and Central Florida Chapter American
Red Cross instructional activities.
