Our Winter Sailing Seminars are a great way to expand your horizons during the winter months. The seminars are open to anyone who is eligible to be a sailing club member and no prior sailing experience is required; you do not need to be a current member of the sailing club to attend. Feel free to invite your landlubber friends!
Seminars occur weekly and cover a variety of nautical topics, such as racing tactics, sailing around the world, and sailing medical emergencies.
Location: Check the Today in the Union website or the digital signs in Memorial Union on the day of the lesson. Most Seminars will take place in the Hoofer Chart Room.
