2018 Seminars

[dolfinbill]

Excellent. Another Pacific Seacraft 37. Again. That's seventeen so far.

So Jackie,

I guess that means we get our own class next year except for your well deserved reputation for occasional exaggeration/fake news.

I'll attend the first seminar. I coordinated the e-steering seminar, like umpty-ump years ago and most of the people who brought kit back then are no longer with the SSS, so my input is of minimal use. Also, my "tech" as in communications and all is sadly outdated. But I'll attend and beam at everyone, happily, and swallow the fake news hook, line and sinker..

I'm an almost-for-certain for SHTP 2022, if I don't do DH Pac Cup in 2021. That's planning ahead, innit?. Heck, I might do it even if I do DH Pac Cup in 2021.

Update:

if I don't do DH Pac Cup in 2021.

More fake news? last time I checked Pac Cup runs on the even years...

Thanks!

7:30 at the Island Yacht Club. There's a lot to get through so we'll need to start on time.

Sorry, Jake! I mailed this invitation through Jibeset. There will be an email sign up list at the meeting for all future 2018 Transpac notifications.

You are invited to the first of a series of seminars leading up to the 2018 Singlehanded Transpacific Yacht Race from Tiburon to Hanalei Bay. This seminar on Wednesday November 15 will put the race into focus with a display of all required equipment. Bob Johnston (Transpac 2006, 2008 and Race Chair in 2010) will discuss the required and recommended equipment list. Greg Ashby and Chris Case, who intend to do the race in Wilderness 30s, will bring their emergency rudders. In addition, representatives from GC Racing Products and Scanmar, will be on hand to answer questions about their products. The Seminar will start promptly at 7:30 pm at the Island Yacht Club in Alameda. The Seminar is free and everyone is invited. Bring a friend.

I enjoyed the webinar last night. Thanks for doing that!

Dave, thanks for multi tasking last night to do the webinar! Are you going to archive it and did it end abruptly? Someone said they thought the connection had been lost, but maybe it was just stopped. Anyway, just wanted to give you feedback. I love having webinars as I'm likely to miss one of the seminars.

 

[DaveH]

Hi Carliane et al -
yes, I'm in the process of archiving and creating a channel for distribution.
unfortunately, the one glitch was we abruptly lost the connection about the time Bob said "that's about the last thing" and it ended abruptly.
That should be a one time glitch, and should not repeat for the future seminars.

We can tighten up some other things, including where we demo equipment; pretty sure most of the rudders displayed across the back wall of the room were mostly not visible, though you can hear the descriptions.

For the first time out of the box, I think it went OK; apologies to all on the web for my clunky camera work, etc.

Stand by for the archive... I will share later today once I have it sorted.

DH

Three photos of Greg Ashby's Emergency Rudder for NIGHTMARE, and a short video of Chris Case discussing his ER for FUGU, both Wilderness 30s:

[BobJ]

I think we took questions after we lost the connection and I wonder if we had any from the remote audience. If so, ask 'em here!

Woulda coulda shoulda done that instead of the time spent talking about wearing the safety harness when it got hot

Overall quite a step-up in tech from the days of balancing a cell phone on the front table - Thanks Dave!

 

[Gamayun]

Here are some more pictures! Great job, Bob, on all the stuff we need to bring, and to everyone else who gave us inspiration on emergency steering options.

 

[AZ Sailor]

Huge thanks to Jackie, Dave, Bob, Brian, and everyone who made this happen. It was very informative and very well worth attending. Great to put faces with some of the names/boat names/screen names of people on this forum.
