Winter Sailing Seminars
Winter 2025
Our Winter Sailing Seminars are a great way to expand your horizons during the winter months. The seminars are open to anyone who is eligible to be a sailing club member and no prior sailing experience is required; you do not need to be a current member of the sailing club to attend. Feel free to invite your landlubber friends!
Seminars occur weekly and cover a variety of nautical topics, such as racing tactics, sailing around the world, and sailing medical emergencies.
If you wish to present a seminar this winter, please email headofinstruction@hoofersailing.org
