Threads on the SSS Forum:
The SSS SHTP seminar this month will include special guest Lizzy Foreman , who just completed the 2015 Mini Transat, and Michael Cunningham who completed one of the longest Long Pacs in 2015. Lizzy, who has been trained in techniques to deal with sleep deprivation at the Artemis Academy, will describe the application of those techniques to the Mini 6.5 trans-Atlantic crossing. Michael will describe his experience in the Long Pac. In addition our past Commodore, Jim Quanci, will detail the best route home during a return crossing.
The seminar will be held February 10, at 1930 hrs, at the Oakland Yacht Club.
