Wind & Water

The documentary traces the club's journey, from its founding to its present-day vitality. It highlights key milestones such as the construction of three clubhouses and ongoing renovations, symbolizing the club's commitment to growth and improvement. Integral to its legacy is the Junior Sailing Program and the Erie Yacht Club Foundation, both testaments to the club's dedication to boating education and community engagement.

The documentary "Wind and Waves, The Legacy of The Erie Yacht Club" is currently in production, spearheaded by Lou Richards, a seasoned cinematographer and producer with over 40 years of experience. With credits including award-winning PBS productions like "On Shifting Sands," Richards brings expertise to ensure the film's quality.

However, the success of the project hinges on securing adequate funding for production, post-production, and distribution. Your support is crucial in bringing this compelling story to life and sharing the legacy of the Erie Yacht Club with audiences worldwide.
