Free Power Generation Seminar Tonight

The Singlehanded Transpac has long been a rite of passage for solo sailors. This bienniel 2,120-mile marathon to the tranquil shores of Hanalei Bay, Kauai runs in even years, with the 18th edition of the race set to start off Corinthian YC on June 30. In the months preceeding the start, the Race Committee offers free monthly seminars — all open to the public — on a variety of topics important to long-distance singlehanders. Tonight’s seminar, the second in the series, is ‘Power: Generation & Storage’ and will cover the most important aspects of any boat’s electrical system — batteries and charging. Doors to Oakland YC open at 6:30 p.m. with the seminar starting at 7. For a full list of upcoming seminars — or to find out more about joining next year’s race — go to www.sfbaysss.org.
