Vince DePillis will moderate a discussion on a topic near and dear to every multihullers heart: CAPSIZE.

We will have first hand accounts from Wayne Erickson and David Miller regarding their capsize experiences. The discussion will be focussed on three things:

1. How to avoid it.
2. What kind of equipment should be aboard if it happens.
3. Recovering from the capsize.

This is an important topic, and we hope to see you there.

Gather at 6:30 for potluck offerings with a brief meeting and introductions at 7 with program following.

Location:
Puget Sound Yacht Club, 2321 N. Northlake Way, Seattle
