Heavy WeatherHeavy Weather Sailing Seminar

During this 4 hour seminar we’ll spend time discussing how to recognize and when possible avoid storms and heavy weather at sea. However the majority of the day will be devoted to how to minimize the effects of a storm on your boat and just as importantly, its negative effects on your crew. Through extensive hand outs and powerpoint presentations your experienced instructor will walk you through the dos and don’ts of Heavy Weather Sailing.
