March Webinar

Mar 8, 2023

Hosted by Peterborough Squadron
March 23rd, 2023, 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.

 

Join us, virtually, for an evening with woodworking enthusiast Munroe Scott, who built a 14.5 ft wooden sailing dinghy based on French naval architect Francois Vivier’s classic design, the Ilur. Munroe will discuss the build and safety issues associated with sailing small, human powered watercraft. The event is free of charge, and all boaters and their friends and family are welcome to attend.  The event will be broadcast live, using Go To Meeting technology.  There will be a 45 minute presentation, with questions and discussion to follow.

 

Munroe’s talk will cover the following:

• The journey from 11 x 18 ” paper plans to a fully functional sailing vessel;
• Selection of materials and challenges during the build;
• Outfitting the vessel and ensuring that it complies with all safety standards; and,
• Additional safety features recommended for small, human powered vessels of this type.  Some information will be of interest to canoeing and kayaking enthusiasts too!

So please join us on March 23rd at 7:00 p.m. to join in the fun.
