. . . including Black Feathers Q&A and book signing!

Oakland Yacht Club (Alameda) at 1900 this Monday, 4/12.

Past SHTP seminars have focused on boats and equipment but an injury, seasickness or other medical emergency can endanger you the skipper, and your otherwise blissful race to Hawaii. This is especially a concern for single-handers since there's no one to "cover for you" if you're out of commission. Past racers have found that even a minor injury, when not properly treated, can soon become debilitating in the marine environment.

Our own Dr. Lou Freeman (Swan 51 "Seabird" SHTP 2002 and 2006) is traveling up from Fresno (via Houston!) and is bringing an updated, expanded version of the seminar he presented in 2008. Please set aside the time to come to this important seminar.

Robert and Jeanne Crawford have also agreed to pay us a visit. Robert will discuss and answer questions about racing in the 2008 SHTP aboard his Cal 20, "Black Feathers" and will sign copies of the excellent book they have written about the experience.

This is a 'must see' seminar - Lou gives an excellent informational and entertaining seminar. I've seen it several times already, and I still plan to be there to see it again. Don't miss it!
