The Chicago T10 Fleet in coordination with the Chicago Corinthian Yacht Club held our first winter seminar yesterday. We presented on a cold day to about 25 in person attendees and another 25-30 on Zoom.

Fleet Captain Blane Boynton presented AIS for Racing Sailors, which is an overview of AIS, advice for how to equip your vessel and some thoughts on its strategic value while distance racing. You can find that presentation HERE.

We were then joined by a weather forecaster from NWS in Romeoville for talk about the weather. Zachary did a nice job overviewing the typical weather that we encounter during summer and fall racing.

Thank you to all those that attended whether in person or remotely. Also thanks to Steven Fink and Aimee Smith for their long term organization and conduct of these winter seminars.

Please join us for the next session on Feb 17th which will be about the Racing Rules of Sailing. Its an Olympic (Rule Change) year and Chief Judge Ted Jones from the 36.7 PainKiller V will join us!
