Thanks for the support. I actually started out just looking for no longer loved Fish in hopes to rehab them - those that I could at least given limited resources, etc. All of a sudden, there were wonderful donations; many were beyond what we could do (no garage, no electricity, etc. However, we now have 10 that are almost all ready to go. They will augment the UNH Community Sailing Centre program and then be used for the Women's Fish group - The Salty Sirens.

As I was soliciting donations, women saw my posts, emails, etc. and the next thing I knew, 45 were interested. The core group is closer to 15, but that, too, is awesome. We plan on a winter mtg just toorganize a Fish Adventure Day on our small lake, some on the water Fish Mini Golf, some lessons, some racing, some boat work and more I hope.

One woman became so enamoured she bought a used Fish for herself.
