Participants in the January 29 Pacific Offshore Academy are urged to download and review the materials before the event. Experience has shown that this makes the difference between time well-spent and time, ... well, ... spent.
The materials are here, and include key topics like "Optimizing your Boat", "Spares and Repairs Underway" and "How to get home". We expect great interest in Chris "Lew" Lewis' talk on Navigation Systems.
It's not too late to enroll. Simply visit the Seminars page and follow the links. You'll be glad you did.
In addition to the four featured speakers – listed below – you will have the opportunity to talk to representatives from three shipping companies and two additional sailing experts: Mike Priest, professional delivery skipper, and Stan Honey, world-famous navigator experienced in all facets of boat optimization and systems.
Don't forget to save the dates of March 18 and May 12 for our later seminars.
Can't get enough? The excellent series by the Singlehanders is open too! See their schedule here.
