ASI now has it's own store. Queensboro Shirt Company allowed us to set up our
own store to sell their products. All profits will be sent to ASI on a weekly basis.
We have new logo's and new products including both printed and embroidered items.
You will pay with your own credit card and have the item shipped where ever you
want. You will be dealing with the Queensboro company. I will no longer be buying
things and trying to sell them. I really hope this is a big improvement for you and
our club. It's just in time for Christmas, so please give it a try.

The Burgee is the weekly and sometimes sooner and at least monthly newsletter of the ASI. Here is a chance to browse the current issue or catch up on past issues.

We'd like the Burgee to be a forum for all sailing matters: your ideas on being a better teacher; new directions for ASI in coming years; thoughts on our keelboat cruising grounds; winter sailing in the Caribbean; your most embarrassing sailing moment; sailing websites you've discovered; and the list goes on. So send us your ideas and articles and we'll run them up the mast.
