Sailing for the Gold
“Sailing for Life 2008” was a huge success this year, thanks to the generosity and compassion of each and every sailor in the SLSailing community. Our combined effort raised nearly $L1.1Million for Cancer Research across many events sponsored by yacht clubs and sailing groups during the past two months, culminating in the final Sailing for Life HEROES event this past weekend.
A loud WOOT goes to Nber Medici, who lead the Sailing for Life team this year.
On behalf of the SLSailing Community, today Nber accepted the Relay for Life GOLD PRIZE for “Most Inventive Campsite Fundraising!!”
Copies of the award will go to all the sailing groups; however, if you can’t wait, stop by Starboards Yacht Club today… and be proud.
The sailors of SL came together this summer… and accomplished something pretty wonderful.

This year we have a number of events planned, including a great new hotlaps system that will let you flaunt your racing skills to a multitude of admiring sportsfans. When the fundraiser ends on July 20, first and second place trophies will be awarded to the winners in each boat class!
Remember to bring your wallet, because we’re also holding a charity auction where you can bid on the boat of your dreams, or get truly unique merchandise you’ll never find anywhere else (such as Chad Sawson’s cowboy hat)!
You’ll even be able to buy M1sha Dallin… but you have to promise to give her back…
We’ll see you on the Heroes 30 dock!
