Discount Yachting Winter Series – Saturday July 8th, we head to the destination Blairgowrie where crews can enjoy the great BYS hospitality. Entry is open for races 2, 3 and 4 (Geelong)click HERE
Navionics & Fundamentals of Navigation, 2 courses. Navigation has changed a lot in the past few years. You no longer need specialised skills. While tacticians have significance, the capacity for all crew members to navigate proficiently has become more attainable than ever before by software on their smartphones and GPS devices. This shift holds immense potential in bolstering safety on board, as every crew member can actively participate or should know how to navigate, thereby reducing the hazards associated with erroneous navigation.
There are 2 navigation online courses on offer:
- July 10th – Navionics Basics
- July 13 & 17th – Fundamentals of Navigation Learn more click HERE
