  • Should do a Survey Monkey survey of what the club members would like to buy next.  Include the pros and cons of each item.  Include a double hull, a new fiberglass, a new ultra-light, an Oc1 or 2, a club van and other ____ fill in the blank.  Try and see if we can have them rank them instead of pick one.
