Women's Sailing Seminar - Alameda Ca.

Hi Guys. I am a co-chair of this awesome event. Just wanted to pass it on - Island Yacht Club offers the only Women's Sailing Seminar in Northern California that is exclusively women teaching women the art of sailing. On Saturday, students build their own curriculum both in the classroom and on-the-water. On-the-water courses include basic and advanced sailing, spinnaker, crew overboard rescue using a Lifesling, docking and anchoring. Classroom courses are offered in navigation, engine repair/maintenance, basic sailing, advanced sail trim and racing basics. The day starts with our opening speaker, Dana Riley, Director of Aquatics & Boating for the City of Oakland. After a day of education in the classroom and on-the-water, join us at the Yacht Club for appetizers, camaraderie and fabulous raffle prizes, which include sailing gear and boat equipment, all generously donated by our sponsors. On Sunday students again choose their curriculum; either one-design racing on the Oakland-Alameda estuary or cruising on the Bay watching the Blue Angels during the Fleet Week celebration. To view details of the course offerings and register on-line, go to www.iyc.org.

Susan, have you heard about the STV Unicorn? It is a 'tall ship' out here on the east coast. It is sailed by women, and used for training excercise in leadership and teamwork for women of all ages. It visits my marina on a regular basis. Interesting boat. Over the last couple of years they've done a lot of work restoring and improving the boat. http://www.tallshipunicorn.com/index.html td From: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com [mailto:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of Chris Campbell Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2007 11:58 AM To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Cal_Boats] Women's Sailing Seminar - Alameda Ca.
