Talk: "Smart Sailing - making the most of your instruments" by Brian Masters
Haslar Yacht Club member and webmaster Brian Masters has kindly agreed to provide a talk on "Smart Sailing - making the most of your instruments"
We all want to sail efficiently, whether it is to pass another boat, to arrive earlier or just to feel that we are sailing the boat at its best. Our instruments help us to achieve this. Brian will talk about the common instruments and sensors that we have on board and how we can make best use of them. He uses a mixture of laptop, iPad and installed instruments in his passage planning and while on passage. Brian is one of the volunteer Raymarine testers and he will talk about the devices (mostly Raymarine) that he has on his boat and of his testing of recently announced displays and features.
This year we are trying a new venue and this meeting will be held in The Conference Room in Haslar Marina's Office. Just go into the Marina Office and ask one of the staff and they will show you to The Conference Room.
Those who wish can buy a drink and/or a meal at The Creek restaurant over the road either before the talk at 18:00 (or earlier) or after at 20:30. Please make your own booking with The Creek either by phoning 023 9400 2461 or on their website https://thecreekhaslar.co.uk and if you are eating before the talk explain that you will be attending the Haslar Yacht Club talk which starts at 19:00. If you intend to have a meal after the talk they would like you to place your order by 20:30 please.
