    I’m sorry to report this only had 4 places and 2 on a waiting list and filled some time ago.
    We are hoping to find another boat to offer the same presentation but have yet to find a volunteer boat.
    On the other hand, The BCA – Vancouver will be offering a 2-day introduction to diesel angines (classroom based) followed by a 1-day practical presentation on an engine in April. Details will be on the BCA site in few weeks.
