RYC sail a small boat day
Weta at the RYC demo day
Richmond Yacht Clubs annual Sail a Small Boat Day (demo day) was held on March 3 with incredibly clear skies, warm weather and light winds. There were about 100 participants who got to try all sorts of small boats from Bic Open, El Toro, Ultimate 20, Weta Trimaran, Windrider, standup paddleboards, etc. If success can be measured by how many free hotdogs were given to participants I think that 300 dogs is a mark of success.
