Thanks to the generous support of the donors to The Friends of Nahant Sailing Inc., the 501c(3) non profit that supports the Nahant Sailing Program

 NSP HAS  BEEN ABLE TO PROCURE:

• Three RS FEVA sailboats ( a new class of boats to bridge Optis and 420s)

-  a new RIB inflatable

- a new Rhodes 19 trailer

- new outboard for one of the coach boats

- 2 race-ready 420s

- 3 Rhodes 19 (to provide more safety - among other things - for our beginners)

- 1 Rhodes 19 trailer

- 15 optimists

- 8 opti dollies

- 2 new motor boats with trailers to enhance the reliability, utility, and safety of  the fleet

- a large rack to store boats at the wharf

- 3 sets of new sails for the 420's so our racers can be competitive

The cost for  these expensive and necessary items is not covered by the registration fees or Town of Nahant's contribution.  Only through the dedication of volunteers, generous donors and support of these NSP/FNS fund raisers is NSP able to provide a comprehensive sailing program as such a reasonable price.  So thanks again for all the support.
