Event Information

Description

2nd day to be scheduled at a later time

Working through the methods to manage a boat in heavy weather. Can do one day in mono hull and one day in multi-hull. Group who enroll can voice a preference in what type of boats to use.

Reefs, sail sets, storm sails if using a 3rd reef, try a messenger to rove the 3rd reef. Sea drouges - we have several to set up and run for the experience. Sea Anchor - have to go out of the gate a ways to deploy. Liferaft. Have on at the office to try to get into, We do have showers too.

Best to know the better options, how to rig and retrieve, before you need to set them out for a rough ride at sea.
