A Seattle-i Corinthian Yacht Club három péntek esti előadással lendíti fel a következő utazást

Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle will host three Friday evening presentations in February 2026, each running roughly 6:00–9:00 p.m., focused on engine maintenance, long-term cruising, and regional weather forecasting for mariners.

February Friday Speaker Series — schedule at a glance

Friday, February 13 — Engine Prep & Onboard Repair

The February 13 session is organized as a facilitated discussion on diesel engine familiarity and practical troubleshooting. Presenters Otto Loggers és Jeff Bennet will guide attendees through a systems-based approach to maintenance, diagnostic routines, and commonly encountered failures while underway. Topics expected to be covered include routine inspection checklists, fuel and cooling-system care, and step-by-step emergency repairs you can manage without outside assistance.

Friday, February 20 — Amnesty Away: planning and passages

Ralph De La O will recount the preparation and cruising life aboard Amnesty, from purchase in 2012 to departure planning in 2016 and a multi-year cruise that began in 2019. The narrative emphasizes project timelines, provisioning, paperwork, and the psychological aspects of long-term cruising — how extended preparation can make the act of leaving feel ordinary instead of overwhelming. Expect practical notes on coastal passages from Washington down through California and long-term berthing and logistics while based in Mexico.

Friday, February 27 — Weather skills with Cliff Mass

University of Washington atmospheric scientist Cliff Mass will focus on mesoscale forecasts, model comparison for wind and precipitation, and interpreting upper-air patterns relevant to Pacific Northwest mariners. The session will touch on high-resolution numerical weather prediction, model microphysics, and non-traditional observational inputs — from smartphone data to autonomous platforms — that can improve decision-making for safe transits and sheltering.

What sailors and visiting tourists should take away

• Practical readiness: Regular engine checks and a systems mindset reduce risk and enable more confident local cruising or charter experiences.
• Long-term planning: Thorough preparation makes extended voyages and liveaboard life less stressful and more sustainable for those considering adventure travel.
• Weather literacy: Better forecasting skills help day-sailors, charter guests, and guides choose safe routes and make the most of weather windows.

Simple pre-event checklist

• RSVP to reserve seating and meals where applicable.
• Bring a notebook with engine serials, model names, and a basic question list.
• For visitors: plan parking and local transit; consider combining the evening with nearby marine museums or waterfront dining.
