This is a call for 2025 dues.  Even if you don’t plan to participate in the major events, and you would like to support the fleet, please consider holding active membership.  I also request boat owners and/or helms to encourage crew to be active fleet members.

Paying Fleet Membership Dues:

There are a couple ways you can pay dues.  If these options are not possible, please reach out to me individually and we can figure out a method that I can accept and then transfer dues into the fleet account.  I am unable to accept checks since I have no current way to cash them.
