Max Kraft has been selected as CBI’s Volunteer of the Month for August!

Max is always ready and willing to jump in and help with a smile on his face. In addition to his participation with the Tiller Club, he has gone above and beyond by using his expertise to assist the Maintenance Department in repairing rudders and tillers. Thank you Max!

“It is interesting to reflect on my journey at CBI, from walking in the door not knowing how to sail circa 2018 to today, where a sailboat now feels like a natural extension of the body, I now feel like a part of the community, and can no longer accurately count the years from memory. At least three years of volunteering and trying to give back at this point. CBI is one of those special communities where the motto is more than just a saying. “Sailing for All” is something that the organization truly seems to strive for, and being a part of that is something that I am proud of. I walked into CBI not knowing how to sail, encouraged to join by a friend, and through CBI have learned not only to sail and a new set of skills, but have also gained an entire new community, many of whom are now true friends. I am thankful for this community and my goal is to do what I can, give back when and where I am able to, to help this organization thrive and continue to offer to others what it has provided for me. I enjoy being part of a place that brings a positive impact to many people’s lives and I am honored to be a small part of this truly unique, special place.”
