This presentation is part of the NSC Winter Speaker’s program, which promotes ongoing learning about all things nautical, as well as cruising and competitive sailing. Our contributors and organizers are all volunteers, and they and our audience come from clubs and organizations bordering both sides of the Ottawa River.
The meeting is free to attend, but we ask that you consider making a small donation. All proceeds will go to the NSC Legacy Fund, which supports competitive sailing for youth and Able Sail members. The presentation starts at 7:00 pm in the Harbourview Hall. The Galley restaurant and bar opens at 4:30 pm so that you can enjoy a meal and/or beverage before we start!
