Sailor Master Classes

The upcoming Pacific Sail & Powerboat Show has more to offer than looking and shopping. There are numerous free seminars in addition to a few all-day, advance-registration seminars requiring a paid tuition.

Best selling DIY boat-maintenance author Nigel Calder will share his expertise with his always-popular seminar: Marine Diesel Engines: Maintenance and Troubleshooting and Understanding and Troubleshooting Boat Electrical Systems. If you’re planning to go cruising or just love knowing how your boat works, this highly valuable, advanced- registration lecture is a must.

Calder, who is known for his best-selling books Boatowner’s Mechanical and Electrical Manual and Marine Diesel Engines, will also present, along with John and Amanda Neal, an advance-registration Offshore Cruising Seminar. These very popular seminars usually sell out so it is advised not to wait to sign up. Click here for a full list of dates and times, or click here for the free seminar schedule.

We’re also planning ahead for our party on Friday, April 5, as well as getting our inventory of new hats and T-shirts ready to set up in the booth.

We look forward to seeing you all at the show in early April. We always learn a lot, have a lot of fun, and appreciate the opportunity to connect with so many Latitude readers.
