From Commodore Bob Rude:

Greeting fellow Sea Sprite sailors.  Most of us have started to lay our boats up for the off season but that doesn’t mean we can’t continue to think about sailing.

In that regard, we are writing to inform you that we are planning on holding our annual meeting on Friday, November 21 at 6:30 co-hosted by the Bristol Yacht Club.  There will be a meal served by the BYC…a full buffet, with BYC members as well as SS sailors.  The full meal is $30.00 and there is a great bar at the club.  The menu includes pork tenderloin, roasted vegtables, an Apple Waldorf Salad with poppy seed dressing, and an apple crisp dessert.  The dinners are usually outstanding.

After the meal, the SS sailors will be provided with a room to hold their annual meeting.

I’m reaching out to you at this point to know if you and your crew would be interested in attending the meeting.  In addition to talking about the 2026 sailing season, it would also be an opportunity to discuss boat-related issues, annual dues, and other things that interest you.  Even better, it’s a chance to talk to other Sea Sprite sailors.

Please let me know if you might attend and if you have any agenda items that should be included.  Send your response to Rrude1@me.com.  Dom Messerli  and I will put the evening plans into play.

Also note that you must register online for the dinner.  The deadline is November 19 at 8:00 PM.  You can register by going to the Bristol Yacht Club website using this link:

Smooth Sailing,

Bob and Dom
