This seminar will prepare skippers and crew members for the upcoming season. We will be reviewing some of the components of earlier seminars as well as dealing with heavy weather, VHF procedures, hypothermia, C.O.B. procedures and other sailing-related topics.

This is a great opportunity for new and returning members to meet and talk about the upcoming season.

HBSC members should treat this as an “attendance is mandatory” seminar.
