My daughter needs help with a report for a college course. She chose to write it on sailing since we spend so much time on the boat and she always enjoys meeting and speaking with people at the docks and while cruising. Below is a brief overview of what she needs.

"I am an undergrad student at the Honors College of Texas A&M University-Commerce. My Freshman Honors English course requires us to write about a 15 page paper about a subculture that we belong to. One of the requirements is to conduct at least 3 interviews within our subculture that may or may not be used within the final ethnographic essay. I am conducting my research and paper over the Sailboating/Yachting community with which I am associated with by having my families 36 foot Catalina located at the Kemah Boardwalk Marina in Kemah Texas. I am interviewing my dad and will need at least two other interviews to satisfy my goal. I can conduct the interview through email or over the phone and would need someone with access to a fax machine in order to sign and fax me back a copy of a consent form that I am required to have signed by interviewees in order to cite the interview within my paper. The interview questions will be along the lines of things involving how you may have gotten involved in the sailing world, and who your main "sponsor" was that taught you what you know about yachting. I may also have questions about any story you may have of a sailing experience, about the marina your boat is docked, and about some of the norms encountered in your boat. The goal is for me to learn as if I am an outsider in order for me to explain my subculture to others that are not within the Sailing subculture, so anything along those lines. Thank you so much for your time!
Amber"
