More Boats, More Fun at Brendan Sailing
Brendan Sailing is excited to announce that we can expand our summer programs due to two generous donations of Topaz Taz boats later last year. These are the “little sister” of our Topaz Unos. One was from SpinSheet’s Beth Crabtree, and the other came from Hardy Peters, our Topaz dealer at East Coast Sailboats. We are very grateful to both Beth and Hardy at East Coast Sailboats who will allow us to get more kids on the water. Four weeks of Annapolis Day Camp will be offered at Annapolis Sailing School on Bembe Beach Road beginning June 20. Campers can sign up for two- or one-week sessions. We are cautiously optimistic that Residential Camp will proceed as planned on the waterfront at St Mary’s College of Maryland
