As the rain drenches Northern California, it may be a nice time to take a look at your calendar and get that Safety at Sea requirement out of the way. There are several courses coming up in 2015, and one may be convenient for you.
- January 9-10 in Vancouver BC (ISAF)
- January 24-25 in Long Beach (ISAF)
- February 27-28 Vancouver BC (ISAF)
- May 17 in Alameda (USSailing, sponsored by PCYC and EYC)
Check the USSailing site for other events.
These seminars are required for most Category 1 races, such as the Pacific Cup, and will satisfy Category 2 (coastal and near-shore) race requirements as well, where required by the organizers. The ISAF two-day seminars are good for international races as well as US.
