  Featured interest group

Sailing Interest Group

With sailing, we aim to explore a world that is beyond our daily life and roles.

Seeking to experience the beauty of a vast and untouched nature, we need to follow its rules and nurture humility. It also enables us to get together with laugh, thrill, and freedom; to achieve dreams and uncover the diverse qualities among ourselves; and to meditate the timelessness of haven with our fellow CPAs.
