As new seminars are created they will be added here.
Maintenance Seminars
We occasionally offer seminars on boat maintenance to members. These seminars are taught by members who have sailboat maintenance experience and are interested in offering their knowledge to our community.
Whenever possible we try to incorporate hands-on elements using our own fleet so we can both give people a chance to try out new skills and also use these seminars as an opportunity to take care of some of our own maintenance needs.
When available we invite you to join us for a fun skill-building experience.
