Use craigslist to find people buying boats. Post an ad in boats for sale.

See:

Focus less on racing and more on sailing and fun. Grill out after events and hang out.

Have a winter party to keep people in touch.

Create away events where you all go to some nice place that is not your usual place to sail.

Find someone with a pontoon boat so that non sailing spouses can hang out without the hobie experience (assuming they don't want it).

Set up a fleet website

Our dues are optional and are $25.

Be helpful to people new to the sport. Help them learn to set up their boats and sail.
