Sailing the Gorge: Too much fun?
 “The
best place in the world to sail!” That’s what multi-class dinghy champ
Jay Renehan had to say about Cascade Locks, Oregon, home of the Columbia
Gorge Racing Association after the final race of the 2013 Tasar World
Championships. “I could sail like that all day, every day. It was too much fun!”
What do you think? We’re kicking off CGRA’s fall membership drive, reaching
out to sailors around the world to help support our efforts to bring world-class
sailing events to the Gorge. But first we want to hear from you. How was your
experience sailing in the Gorge this summer? What can we do to make future
visits more enjoyable for you and your family? What CGRA programs and/or events
are most important to you?
Take the CGRA
Sailor Satisfaction Survey
(or check out
survey results)
Our goal is to make CGRA “the best place in the world to sail.” Help us do it
by taking five minutes to complete our Sailor Satisfaction Survey (click
here to take the survey). There’s no obligation and all responses are
anonymous unless you wish to volunteer your contact information. If you’re
curious, you’ll have an option to view the results after you complete the
survey.
I want to personally thank you for joining us in the Gorge this
summer and helping to make the 2014 season one of our most memorable to date. We
hope to see you back on the river in 2015 to help us make some more world-class
sailing memories!
Support world-class sailing in the Gorge
 It
takes a lot of work and a lot of money to continue to bring world-class sailing
opportunities to the Gorge. Without the membership base of a traditional yacht
club, we're dependent on the support of our friends to help cover the costs of
boats, shore facilities, site improvements, coaching, instruction, and race
management. Donations and sponsorships account for nearly a third of our budget;
without them, we could not exist.
If you're passionate about sailing and
like what we're doing, please consider including CGRA in your charitable
contributions this year. CGRA is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and all
contributions are fully tax deductible. To make a contribution or learn more,
