 The
Sailing Club entered a boat in the Cardboard Boat Races at Lake Eola
Park, Orlando, and won! The Sailing Club also
got the "best team effort" trophy. Lots of club members, lots of blue shirts, and
lots of shouts of support did the trick ! ! ! Joe Dahlquist designed
the boat. The paddlers are (l-r) Mike Kelly, Rick Romito, Joe
Dahlquist, & Dave Felesky.

 The
Sailing Club's cardboard boat construction was a great club
effort. Many volunteers put in long evening hours
constructing, waterproofing and painting.
