Tides Marine,
Thank you for donating the SailTrack system for “Ithaka,” our new Swan 441. Ithaka is the flagship of the Washington Yacht Club. Getting the mast usable for sailing was the key obstacle in getting this boat usable for our students and members. Your representatives were responsive and helpful, which made the installation process easy.
When our initial measurements were incorrect, we appreciated the quick turn around for re-cutting, and you were able to deliver it back in time for our much-anticipated maiden voyage. This weekend “Ithaka” sailed for an overnight cruise on Puget Sound. We introduced 15 new students to big boat sailing, and everyone had a great time. The trip and learning experience would not have been possible without the new SailTrack system that you generously donated.
We greatly appreciate your generosity and the professionalism of your staff. We have included some pictures from the trip to show you the impact of your donation.
Thankfully yours,
Ben Shager – The Washington Yacht Club S/V Ithaka
