ABOUT
This is always a fun day on the water. Unlike the other 400+ RVYC boats, Strum will actually sail past our female Commodore. For that reason, we appreciate the core-crew to help make sailing happen, and to use this time to bring your partner along to enjoy s day on the water and experience sailing on Strum. This is not the New York Yacht Club, so think of this as a costume party on the water, with lots of champagne and minimal motor. Garden party to follow. Uber/Lyft recommended. RSVP
FOOD & DRINKS provided/available up top.
GIFTS not necessary, but champagne is always appreciated.
