Jacomo Sailing Club is able to improve the community through sailing because of our great group of volunteers and board members. This year's Commodore Cup winner helped with every facet of the sailing club. Check out the video to see who won! https://youtu.be/9K2vfOPTOos Donated by Buck and Linda Reabe, this prestigious award is given to honor the current board member, excluding the Commodore, who performed above and beyond the call of duty. Enthusiasm, great attitude, and ...a willingness to take charge and follow through with the details of his or her Board position are all factors the Commodore uses in choosing the recipient.

Every year in the fall we get together to reflect on the fun and learning of the past year, honor the volunteer award winners, recognize the racing winners, elect the next board, and share a meal and evening together. Just as we adapted with the spring racing, we've found a new way to celebrate our Special Award winners and volunteers that made this year a success.
