Signs of spring are the buds on the trees and the longer days. This is the time for sailors to celebrate spring and prepare for the upcoming sailing season with the annual Spring Training event sponsored by Singles On Sailboats, Inc (SOS).
This is an all-day affair to be held on Saturday, March 14 at Anne Arundel Community College in Arnold, MD. This year’s theme is “Sail Better on the Bay in 2015!” SOS has assembled an extremely knowledgeable group of experts on different aspects of sailing and boat ownership. There are sessions for sailors at every level of sailing skill, so whether you are an “old salt” or new to sailing, Spring Training is for you!
You can individually tailor your program of instruction to your own needs and interests: from sessions on basic sail trim, navigation, and medical emergencies to more advanced discussions on sail care, boat electrical systems, and mobile apps for navigation. There will be 36 different seminars to be exact. What you learn at SOS Spring Training will help you to be better sailor come this spring, summer and fall.
This program is open to the public, and you need not be single to attend. The cost for nonmembers is $75 and includes instructional materials, buffet lunch, and continental breakfast. To register for the SOS Spring Training, go to singlesonsailboats.org and access the website
