US Sailing Wishes You
  A Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to thank our loyal members for their continued support. We thank you for believing in US Sailing and our mission to provide leadership for the sport of sailing in the U.S. Your ongoing commitment strengthens our ability to create and maintain programs and services that improve the sport.

We also want to extend a great deal of gratitude to the tireless volunteers dedicated to making our sport better by supporting local sailing organizations, creating more opportunities for people to get involved, keeping young sailors engaged, strengthening our race official programs, assisting in the development of sail education strategies, and more.

Also, we want to wish the US Sailing Team AlphaGraphics the best as they represent the USA at the ISAF World Championships in Perth, Australia (Dec. 3-18), the U.S. Olympic Team selection event.

We look forward to having you as our members for years to come. We hope it has been a great fall sailing season for everyone and that you’ll have a fruitful Thanksgiving celebration this year.
