Cabo Weather Routing Seminar
NAVIGATION, STRATEGY, WEATHER, SAFETY, & ELECTRONICS
Presented by 2x Americas Cup Winner: Peter Isler
5:45pm on Feb 27 at NHYC | Dinner Included
$124.95++ Per Person; $94.95++ for Additional Crew
Preparing for the Cabo Race
This course is designed to help Cabo racers prepare for the race and provide insight on how to sail smarter and make better decisions during the race. Don’t delegate – get involved! Figuring out the Cabo race course requires involvement and “buy-in” from all team members. Although the course topics might be considered to be in the domain of the navigator – this program is designed to improve communication and involvement between the nav station and the entire crew. Afterguard and other team members are encouraged to attend.
Topics Included:
Race Strategy
Pre-Race Weather Study
In-Race Weather Analysis & Optimum Routing
Satellite Data Techniques
Navigator / Afterguard Communication
Mode Sailing
How to use Expedition Navigation & Racing Software
Safety Considerations from the Nav Station
With Special Guest Presentations From:
Chris Bedford
World Renowned Meteorologist, Veteran of 9 America’s Cup Cycles, 5 Volvo Ocean Race/Whitbread teams, & more
Artie Means
Transpac Record Setting Navigator & Marine Electronics Guru
CPR Training
Additional safety training is not required, however it is heavily encouraged. On March 2 from 10am-2pm, there will be an American Heart Association CPR Course here at NHYC for $60 (Lunch Provided!).
