The Flag Officers, Holly-Lunt Houston, Nancy Custer Carroll, Dave Smith, Will Brinegar, Susan Coppolla and Jen Heil, and the board of directors of the Southport Yacht Club extend to all our members and friends on Southport our best wishes for the holiday season. May our wishes at this Christmas season and New Year be for new efforts for peace and understanding in the world.

We look forward to the 2014 season when we will gather with friends and members to participate in the exciting summer activities. January will soon be here and parents and grandparents are urged to register their sailors as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
