Yep - it's that time again folks - have you ever been to WICR? What? -You haven't made it to the largest annual gathering of WrinkleBoats for networking, sharing sailing stories, 'trade secrets' for Wrinkleboat solutions, Stump the Designer sessions, sailing competition, the latest rigging trends/ solutions, renewal and updates on what the 'group' is up to? It is a gathering of the WrinkleBoat Tribe. Two to 3 days or longer if you like -it is a great time of the year here in the desert to go sailing - if your partner isn't up for sailing, there is Scottsdale for shopping - jewels,fashion and collector cars, golf (more courses than _____), hiking, world class biking (on and offroad), spas, horseback riding, MC riding - it is THE perfect weather for outdoor activities and certainly the sailing can show promise!
