JULY 22nd! SAVANNAH, GEORGIA

The 10th anniversary of the 1996 Olympic Yachting Games was an outstanding success with the profits benefiting The Savannah Sailing Center which is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization.  Over 110 Olympic volunteers attended the day long event starting at the Wilmington Island Club (see photos), a boating trip to the former site of "waterworld" and then a reception at the former Olympic village - the Marriott Savannah Riverfront.

At the lunch and reception young men from the Sailing Center's programs volunteered to man a booth selling Olympic era prints, shirts, hats and books and these young men will be very successful in sales!

The contest of most complete uniform was amazing to see what turned up -- never worn shoes to the rain poncho and circle shirts everywhere!  The evening ended with the awarding of the silent auction items -- beautiful charts, HH foul weather gear, Laser sail and boom vang, a Ray Ellis print and much more.
