Sixteen people attended November meeting of the joint Vancouver, VI and Calgary Fleets which focused on heavy weather sailing. Presenter Ken Gillstrom [1] did an exceptional presentation, with value for both the beginner and the advanced offshore sailor. Ken has deep experience and a good mind for detail. If you are looking for an offshore experience, he also offers offshore cruises/training for those wanting to learn more. He will also be at the Vancouver Boat Show in January.
Show and Tell: Jud shared information on Jordan Series drogues and recommended Ocean Brake [2] for more info. Campbell talked about Mopeka [3], a global leader in sonar tank monitoring systems that is compatible with Victron GX.
The December meeting will be the Fleet Solstice Potluck Supper at Spruce Harbour Marina on the 19th.
