Brent Alley, VI Education Watchkeeper
Paul Betts of Leitch & McBride Sailmakers is offering this two day workshop on sail selection, maintenance and repair.
Selecting the right sails for your offshore passages is only the beginning; proper sail maintenance is easy and takes little time, but it can make a big difference in the life an performance of your sails.
This one day course will be split into a theory session in the morning at Mary Winspear Centre with the practical, hands-on afternoon session in the sailmaker’s loft. Participants are encouraged to bring a bag lunch due to tight timelines and the need to move locations.
Instructor
Paul Betts is the owner, designer and senior sailmaker at Leitch and McBride Sailmakers which has been designing and building custom sails in Sidney, BC since 1975. He notes that “it is best not to have to undertake sail repairs while underway”.
