      <title>Skipper Intro / Check Out 1 (Sunday, May 17, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;" align="center"&gt;
  &lt;strong style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#0000FF" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;Become a skipper for ANSA!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;
  As ANSA continues to grow, we are looking to expand our pool of skippers to support member sails, training, and to fully utilize our growing fleet.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;
  We know there are capable sailors within our membership who may be interested in stepping into a skipper role — and we’d like to gauge that interest.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;
  If you’ve ever thought about skippering an ANSA boat, this is a great opportunity to raise your hand and start the conversation.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;
  &lt;strong&gt;What We’re Looking For&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  At a minimum, prospective skippers should:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ul style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;
  &lt;li style="margin-left: 15px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Hold ASA 103 (Basic Coastal Cruising) or higher&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li style="margin-left: 15px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Be comfortable taking responsibility for a vessel and crew&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li style="margin-left: 15px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Have solid boat handling skills, including docking and close-quarters maneuvering&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li style="margin-left: 15px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Demonstrate sound judgment and a safety-first mindset&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;
  &lt;strong&gt;What to Expect&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  Becoming an ANSA skipper is a structured process designed to set you up for success. This includes:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ul style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;
  &lt;li style="margin-left: 15px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;On-the-water assessments&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li style="margin-left: 15px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Mentorship with current ANSA skippers&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li style="margin-left: 15px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Demonstration of boat handling, safety procedures, and leadership&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;This is not a pass/fail test;&amp;nbsp;it’s a development path to ensure consistency, safety, and confidence across our skipper ranks.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Skippers may also use ANSA vessels for personal sails!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;
  &lt;strong&gt;Interested?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  If you’d like to be considered, please join us for this intro and meetup to get familiar with our fleet, meet current skippers, and discuss path forward.

      <description>&lt;div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;" align="center"&gt;
  &lt;strong style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#0000FF" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;Become a skipper for ANSA!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;
  As ANSA continues to grow, we are looking to expand our pool of skippers to support member sails, training, and to fully utilize our growing fleet.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;
  We know there are capable sailors within our membership who may be interested in stepping into a skipper role — and we’d like to gauge that interest.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;
  If you’ve ever thought about skippering an ANSA boat, this is a great opportunity to raise your hand and start the conversation.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;
  &lt;strong&gt;What We’re Looking For&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  At a minimum, prospective skippers should:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ul style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;

  &lt;li style="margin-left: 15px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Be comfortable taking responsibility for a vessel and crew&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li style="margin-left: 15px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Have solid boat handling skills, including docking and close-quarters maneuvering&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li style="margin-left: 15px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Demonstrate sound judgment and a safety-first mindset&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;
  &lt;strong&gt;What to Expect&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  Becoming an ANSA skipper is a structured process designed to set you up for success. This includes:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ul style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;

  &lt;li style="margin-left: 15px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Demonstration of boat handling, safety procedures, and leadership&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;This is not a pass/fail test;&amp;nbsp;it’s a development path to ensure consistency, safety, and confidence across our skipper ranks.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Skippers may also use ANSA vessels for personal sails!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;
  &lt;strong&gt;Interested?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  If you’d like to be considered, please join us for this intro and meetup to get familiar with our fleet, meet current skippers, and discuss path forward.
