Voile & Tango – 2023 Edition

25 July 2023

Dear members,

We we are very excited to invite you to the 5th edition of Voile & Tango taking place on Saturday August 5th 2023.For those unfamiliar with the concept, this event is created to initiate tango community members to the wonderful world of sailing and initiate sailors to the magical world of Argentinean tango.  It makes for a happy marriage !So we are hoping you will sign-up in great numbers dear captains, so that we may invite many tangueras and tangueros to join us for an afternoon of sailing and share their passion for argentinian tango with us after a group picnic.  To kick off the evening, you are offering  an initiation to Argentinian tango and a few surprises followed by an evening of dance. The “milongas” will be sprinkled with popular music for all to enjoy.Here’s the schedule for the day :

  • Time                Activity

* Sailing will start at 1 or 1:30PM when all are ready and, weather weather permiting, we will set a meeting point for a dip in the lake.** We are proposing a group picnic where everyone is responsible for bringing their own again this year.  That being the case, the BBQ will be available for all to use.Please remember :  All alcoholic beverages consumed on the grounds need to have been purchased through the IPYC which will be available for the event.IMPORTANT :Considering that we need to know how many spots we have available prior to inviting tango community members, we ask that you PLEASE sign-up by Sunday July 31 and tell us how many guests you would like to take onboard.  Please complete the form on the bulletin board or send your info by email to :  dagelyne@hotmail.comThank you in advance and looking forward to another great edition of Voile & Tango with you.Your social committee
