Minutes:  We had a nice Holiday Party of about 25 -30 members, old and new.  I think Martyn and Linda came the farthest.  Bill had his large house festively decorated for Christmas and had a screen and system set up for members to show their years exploits.  I just handed him a thumb drive with a mash of stills and videos and somehow he did the magic, making the thing run mine and other member contributions in a loop all evening.  Nice set up to view, chat and eat, all at the same time.  It was fun to see everyone having a good time.  I did witness one serious conversation however with our new and old PHRF measurers passing on hard earned knowledge for the continuance of our racing program.  So we did get some business done.  Food was great and plentiful from Smoking Pete’s BBQ, and refreshments including but not limited to a growler of Bodhizafa from Georgetown Brewing.  Finished off with a variety of tasty pies to choose from.

Next month we will return to our regular format of a short informal meeting then a speaker.  So join us on January 8 (second Tuesday this month) where Jim Gallant will talk about his 20 foot hydrofoil trimaran sailboat, its design, how he built it and what it's like to sail it. Also some discussion on other home built trimarans that led up to this boat.  -- Secretary Eric Lindahl
