NorCal Women’s Sailing Seminar

Ok, ladies, time’s running out to sign up for the 15th Annual Northern California Women’s Sailing Seminar. This weekend of on-shore and on-the-water training sessions runs October 6-7 at Island YC in Alameda and is always raved about by participants of all skill levels. Not only do you learn sailing and/or cruising techniques (students get to build their own curriculum based on their interests) in a low-stress and non-yelling fashion, you also can make tons of friends. Guys, if the lady in your life doesn’t appreciate your . . . um . . . ‘teaching style’, this might just be the ticket to getting her out on the water with you. But watch out – she may come back knowing more than you!

For more info on the seminar, head on over to www.iyc.org/wss.htm.

Download the basic form, fill it out and fax it in, send an email, or just call them at (510) 521-2980. The wonderful volunteers will help you register right over the phone.
