LAST WEEK'S PROGRAM: Brian Donaldson, Saginaw Bay Community Sailing Program.
The next set of sailing lessons on the Saginaw River will start just after the Tall Ships event is completed, said speaker Brian Donaldson of the Saginaw Bay Community Sailing Program.
This group builds boats in the winter and in the summer gets on the water to teach sailing to youngsters, he said. Ten eight-foot prams are used in the program, which also has three 16-foot day sailers available along with a speedy 12-foot RS Feva.
