Englewood Sailing Association - ESA ESA is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that teaches affordable, small boat sailing to kids and adults. New volunteers encouraged to inquire.

The Englewood Sailing Association, Inc. is a spin-off from the Lemon Bay Rag Haulers, a sailing and social organization, founded in 1990. The Rag Haulers started a very successful Youth Sailing Program in the Spring of 2002. In cooperation with the Englewood YMCA, thirty-four volunteers worked with nineteen youngsters in a four week program. The program included boating safety and hands on sailing. On completion of the program, it was obvious that it had provided a very positive experience for the youth and that it deserved continuance and expansion. It was decided by the membership of the Rag Haulers that the demands of such a program were beyond the scope of their organization. was then formed as a non-profit corporation for the purpose of providing sailing instructions for the youth of Englewood.

Many thanks to all the volunteers who showed up this morning at the sailing center for Mike J's work party.

Mowed the grass, stepped the mast on the new Hobie holder, put decals on sails and new Zests, repaired the Venture trailer, and many other chores. The heat index was well over 100⁰ but that didn't slow anyone down.
