About this event
Welcome to the 2023 Winter Speaker series at NSC! Eric Fleury is our featured speaker to start the series this year.
Finally, we are returning to presenting live in the Harbourview Room. All are welcome. We will also be streaming live to YouTube. Please register so that we know how many to expect. We look forward to seeing you. If you watch on YouTube, you will be able to use a chat function to ask your questions.
Eric Fleury, a past member of NSC and current member of CVGR, is an avid sailor and a licensed ABYC electrical technician. He started sailing around age 12 on his father’s Nonsuch 30. He has owned a Tanzer 7.5 and now an Ontario 32 "Prince Igor". Eric has been one of the SOLO300 sailors for several summers. Having studied electronics and computers, he eventually left the corporate management world to dive full time into the boating world, both for work and leisure.
Eric will cover some of the common recurring topics involved in marine electrical, including:
- basic wiring for boats
- battery selection
- energy saving
- solar
- fusing
This presentation is part of the NSC Winter Speaker's program, which promotes ongoing learning about all things nautical, as well as cruising and competitive sailing. Our contributors and organizers are all volunteers, and they and our audience come from clubs and organizations bordering both sides of the Ottawa River.
The meeting is free to attend, but we ask that you consider making a small donation. All proceeds will go to the NSC Legacy Fund, which supports competitive sailing for youth and Able Sail members.
