Instructor
Dennison Berwick has presented to BCA with incredible detail and precision, to rave reviews. His years of experience offshore single handed sailing as a trained and experienced diesel mechanic, and his applied knowledge learned over years of hands-on boat maintenance, will provide practical knowledge and insights.
Although this course is focused on general boat maintenance, Dennison is the creator and publisher of the Marine Diesel Basics Project [1] – the first visual guide to marine diesel systems. His book on maintenance, winterizing and recommissioning has been acclaimed by Peter Nielsen in Sail Magazine [2] as “the best guide on the subject I’ve seen, this book has a place on every diesel-equipped boat”.
Dennison is currently en route to The Seychelles aboard his vessel Oceans Five.
