TPS Session
1st February, 10:00am - 1:00pm
Theory Practice Sessions 2025
This first session of the year will (wind permitting) practice a few ways to get a 707 off a pontoon when the engine won't start and the wind is pinning the boat on (i.e. you can't sail off). There's probably a race about to start, or you've got a crew waiting and the engine, of course, decides to play silly. Waisted trip? Well, let's see what can be done.
What we will do on this session depends on what the participants (you) have on the wish-list to practice. After booking, email Scot Corrigan on peyc.tps @ gmail.com (remove spaces) with suggestions.
