If you are planning to sail offshore in the next year or two on your own boat or someone else’s, consider joining the VI Fleet of 2016/17, which will have its first meeting at 1830h on Wednesday, September 28 at Royal Victoria Yacht Club.

The Fleet meets every 2 weeks and has presentations or group discussions on a variety of topics of interest to Fleet members. The cost is $60 per boat for the year.

Many Fleet members also join the Weather Group which meets on the same nights immediately after Fleet. The Weather Group is designed to help participants increase their understanding of global weather and to develop skills in analyzing and applying weather information available at sea.

If you are interested in joining the 2016/17 Fleet or Weather Group, email (vifleet@bluewatercruising.org) for more information.
