Program Overview
The Winter Speaker Series keeps you connected with the sailing and boating community during winter months while you immerse yourself in fascinating talks. About half of the participants are from the Nepean Sailing Club with the other half from other clubs in the area. Our volunteer – and sometimes professional – presenters share their expertise, providing new insights into their topic.
Each week, we bring you a 30-45 minute talk with interaction covering four main areas:
- Adventure Series: Inspires and educates with captivating stories and practical advice on bold sailing adventures and exploring diverse destinations around the world.
- Community Series: Opportunities to build sailing skills, engage with the local sailing community, and learn about initiatives that foster growth, sustainability, and teamwork.
- Skills Series: Build your sailing skills whether you are just starting or a regular racer learn something new from our fellow boaters.
- Boat Maintenance Series: Focuses on essential skills and techniques to maintain and repair your boat, ensuring it’s in optimal condition for safe and enjoyable sailing.
