If you have pictures from the club – social events, racing, out cruising – and you wouldn’t mind sharing them with us we would love to be able to put them on the site and/or to include them in telltales articles. You can send them to publicity [at] ecsail.org and if you would like credit to be given please let us know with the images how you would like them attributed.
The next version of the website and struggles with the current version
Work continues on the new version of our website. We’ve been facing some issues with the publication of the newsletter and proper formatting of the newsletter particularly for archived editions of the telltales.
While we hope to have the new version of the site ready soon the current version keeps absorbing time and taking away from the time available to develop the newest version of the site.
We appreciate your patience as we work through the issues on the current site and continue to work on the new version of the site and ask that if you spot any issues at all with the website to please reach out to us at publicity [at] ecsail.org and let us know.
My name is Michael Denney and I am the newly appointed Publicity Chairperson and Phyllis Gillingham is my assistant. We are taking over from the now-Vice Commodore EJ Williams. We are working on getting up-to-speed on the newsletter process and sorting out our workflows so that we can get you the club news on a regular and reliable basis. In addition to the newsletter we are presently working on overhauling the club website [ ecsail.org ].
The website overhaul is expected to take somewhere around 6 to 12 months. In the meantime we are also working to keep the current site updated and accurate. The overhaul is more so that the board and club chairs can manage the website faster and easier with less confusion but will also result in an overall faster and more responsive website for all users.
Our website houses a substantial amount of information about the club and has many moving pieces and parts. If you do spot any issues with the website at all or have any problems please do not hesitate to reach out to us at publicity@ecsail.org.
We look forward to seeing you out on the water this year!
Looking for someone to take over the Publicity Chair position starting next year! Responsibilities include putting together the Telltales once a month (during the sailing season), sending out emails to the membership, posting pictures on our Instagram account, and keeping the website updated. I plan on teaching this new Publicity Chair everything they need to know. I’ll also volunteer to be the assistant chair to help with the work. As with all Chair positions, this person will have their Membership Dues waived.
Please send an email to publicity@ecsail.org if you’re interested or would like to recommend someone.
Technically the Publicity Chair has control of making all the ECSC merchandise & apparel, too. But I plan to keep doing that since it’s fun. So it’s up to whoever comes on board if they want to run the Ship Store, too.
I am in the process of making a lot more softshell jackets (mens and womens style) as well as rash-guards and long-sleeve t-shirts.
My Ship Store inventory now includes (see images below):
1/4 zip sweatshirts (more sizes being ordered). $25
soft shell jackets. $40
t-shirts (plenty of mens and women in stock). $10
NEW can coozies (skinny and traditional). $2
NEW towels. $20
NEW burgees. $20
NEW tote bags. $20
NEW rash guards (dry fit long sleeve shirts). $20
NEW long sleeve t-shirts. $20
Sizes & colors are limited to what’s in stock. First come, first served!

LETTER-TO-THE-EDITOR: Les Miller
In solidarity with certain members of our club, I have ordered lengths of rainbow ribbons that I will fly from my backstay. Anyone else who wants to adorn their sloop with a ribbon can come by my sloop “Turbolino” (slip A10) or the race shed to pick one up. It would be a great showing for the Club to demonstrate its welcoming nature for ALL sailors. Ribbons should arrive in around 14+ days.
I’m still looking for volunteers to help post pictures on our club’s Instagram account. We have a couple members who have stepped up already, but I’d like a team of 4 or so to keep our Instagram account active. If you are interested in helping with ECSC’s Instagram account, please reach out to publicity@ecsail.org.
The Ship Store will be open at the Father’s Day brunch on June 19th. However you can also find me at the club on some Wednesday evenings.
My Ship Store inventory now includes (see images below):
1/4 zip sweatshirts (more sizes being ordered). $25
soft shell jackets (20 in stock). $35
t-shirts (plenty of mens and women in stock). $10
NEW can coozies (skinny and traditional). $1
NEW towels. $20
NEW burgees. $20
Sizes & colors are limited to what’s in stock. First come, first served!
LOOKING FOR IDEAS! Please email publicity@ecsail.org if you have ideas for what other apparel or items ECSC should sell in its Ship Store. Burgees and coozies are already on my list.

Instagram is more about sharing photos than Facebook is. I’d like to find a small team who can help make more posts on the club’s Instagram account this year. This can be as easy as snapping photos (with your phone) of various boats sailing on the lake or people hanging out around the club. Ideally, the club account would make about 2-3 new posts a week. If you are interested in helping with ECSC’s Instagram account, please reach out to publicity@ecsail.org.
