Gary Jobson made remarks ranging from strategy, to safety, to crew selection. The three presentations that followed Gary’s remarks are posted. Chip Thayer explained the new Cruiser Division. Jim Mumper’s presentation dealt with boat prep and David Shaeffer covered crew selection and prep. Two of the major take-home messages are: start now with the Offshore Regs Compliance Checklist to identify the tasks needed to prepare the boat and start now to recruit your crew focusing on finding folks with prior offshore experience and the skill sets needed for an offshore race.
