Arrrh me maties,
Having trouble adjusting to the daylight savings time change? Well, this is for you!
The Singlehanded Sailing Society presents the sixth seminar in our monthly series on preparing you and your sailboat to successfully race singlehanded from San Francisco, CA to Kauai, HI. This months topic is "Diesel Engines", presented by Mike Haley from KKMI www.kkmi.com. His presentation will include the marine diesel engine concept and systems, safety and reliability features, and scheduled maintenance. His outline is posted on the TransPac web site.
This months seminar will be hosted by KKMI right in their boat house next to the main office building www.kkmi.com on Monday March 10th. Our presentation will begin at 7:30 PM, and run until about 10 PM. Sorry, no open bar in the boat house, but still no charge for attending and everyone is welcomed. Dial-in feature will be the same as with previous seminars.
