Laser and other sailors around Williamsburg need to mobilize to get James City County to include sailing in its planning for parks.
There is a new park right on the James River where the Jamestown Campground used to be. It is the best public access to the James River near Williamsburg that sailors will ever get. The county could easily make provision for a sailing facility on the James. It could be a great location for a sailing club and some excellent racing.
I've pasted in below a notice of a public meeting I got. I will go and speak on behalf of a sailing facility. Is anyone else out there interested? More voices is better!!
Here is the notice:
