Bob and Sandy Richards want more people to experience the joy they feel when they sail a boat.
Sewell Mountain Sailing Association/Facebook Bob explains, “Imagine a state with beautiful lakes, clean and clear waters, nearly devoid of power boats and crowds. Can you envision, as I do, a sailboat slipping quietly across those waters? No noise, no real costs, no pollution, adding only its grace to an already wonderful sight.”
Bob restores older boats that need work, so that they’ll be available for the lessons.
