Yachting Monthly Blue Water Cruising Seminar - Saturday 18 September 2010

There can be few cruising yachtsmen who have not dreamed of blue-water sailing; perhaps across the Bay of Biscay, for an extended cruise in the Mediterranean, across the Atlantic to the Caribbean, or even a circumnavigation. Many will not take up the challenge but, for those who do, the key to a successful and enjoyable voyage lies in adequate preparation, both in terms of the human factors and of the yacht itself. This seminar will set you on the right path to get those preparations right, or to give you an idea of what might be involved. It is more than an eye-opener; it is packed with gold nuggets of information from those who really know what they are talking about. You will gain real value from spending a whole day studying the subject ... and a free-lunch too!  Do this one day, and the boat show the next.

 

This will be the 13th blue-water cruising seminar run by Blue Water Rallies Limited in conjunction with Yachting Monthly Magazine. We have again assembled a panel of experts, all blue-water sailors, including yachting's premier technical writer, Nigel Calder.

Nigel will give essential advice on the ideal characteristics of a blue-water cruising yacht. He will present technical presentations on mechanical and electrical equipment, including power-management, communications, navigation and electronics. Additional topics to be covered by our expert panel will include:

• • Finance and budgeting
• • Boat Selection
• • Lifestyle matters
• • Safety and Training Courses
