Saturday at RYC: Dan’s Ladies 420 Team Rocked the Box…

The RYC 420 Ladies had such a blast today!  Key goals for the class today: rudderless sailing, box drills and a champagne toast to our awesome Coach – Dan Brandt!  It has been an amazing journey so far and just keeps getting better.  We have officially closed out Session 2 and are already looking forward to Session 3 which starts on June 9th.  Feng Shui, recipes, and best of all, a special friendship – Dan’s group has it all…  Enjoy the pictures 🙂
