Welcome!
Fleet 5 is an energetic group of Catalina 36 owners. We have several
non-Catalina owners who participate as associate members. Each
member of our fleet thrives on the camaraderie of the sailing
lifestyle. We are dedicated cruisers, occasional racers, handymen
and handywomen. Members of Fleet 5 are ready to lend advice and
a hand with any boat topic. We share the knowledge of our improvements
and our repairs.
Fleet
5 is affiliated with the Catalina 36 International Association
and supports all of its activities. We believe that sailing associations
such as our Fleet and the various international associations enhance
the sailing experience through shared experiences and the free
exchange of ideas. Organizations such as Fleet 5, aside from their
social and practical value, help us communicate with the larger
sailing community. This opens us to sailors all over the world
and with this comes the sharing of knowledge, the communication
of sailing experiences, voyages and stories.
We
welcome all sailors in the Long Island area as members. All we
ask is a love of sailing and a desire to share adventures with
like-minded people. (A good hors d'oeuvres cook book is a plus,
as we are equally well known for our ability to "socialize")
For
details on the benefits of membership beyond being part of a great
group check out our brochure.
