Send-off to Rio Paralympics

Our good friend and fellow sailor Ryan Porteous will be competing in the 2016 Paralympics in Rio next month.  He and Maureen McKinnon will sail in the two-person SKUD-18 class September 12-17.

Mission Bay Yacht Club is holding a send-off event for Ryan on August 25.  There will be a slideshow, Q&A session, USA Sailing Team gear giveaway, and of course, a chance to wish Ryan well.
