SAILING IN CANADA Some of you may have received a new online publication called "Sailing in Canada".  When I reviewed it I noticed that our SeaSpray one design class was left out of the One Design list so I emailed the address listed to get us included.  I sent a few pictures and a brief note along with the website info and club's where SeaSprays are sailed out of.  I was promised the SeaSpray will be included in the one design list and they will use some of the material I sent in to get us some publicity.  It can't hurt.  If you want to see the publication coming on Feb 2 you can use the link or go through Sail Canada to view. https://kerrwil.dragon...
