Recently I was invited by a good friend of mine to attend the open house of their new facility that has been two years in the making.  WOW! Was I impressed!  I learned that the Sarasota Yacht club is a family-friendly private club offering a wide range of activities and programs for its members of all ages.  The club has a history of over 80 years of cruising and racing.   Sarasota Yacht Club is a club rooted in yachting tradition.  In addition to the traditional boat related yacht club activities the club offers a broad range of club facilitated activities including kayaking, monthly theme parties, book and travel clubs, cycling and their ever popular Wine Society.
