I would love to see my daughter learn to sail if she chooses I would donate for the opportunity,so I guess I'm missing the need for a new structure. If participants are either pay as you go or donating for the program is there really a need to add another burden such as building maintanence to the equation? JMHO,but I think maybe it deserves a look,and by the way if you haven't guessed I think the sailing program is a benefit to the region.

Hello robmac,
The building we're planning to erect would be used in the winter months for storing all the boats and in the summer, it would be used for teaching purposes during inclement weather. We would also be able to hold meetings and social events there occasionally when it isn't being used for specific Sailing Center programs. We would hope to use it as an event pavillion for raising funds to help support the Sailing Center's activities and programs. At all times, great care would be taken to make sure the neighboring properties would not be negatively impacted by any of our programs.
Regards,
Tom Mullen
