[SCOW] Re: Last minute Capsize Course Openings


I'm in, always ready to "sail on the edge" and I have $35.00. Will you confirm there is still a slot ? Shall I bring my own super soaker ;-)

G'day All,

 

Due to several weather related postponements of the Capsize Course, we've had several cancellations for the Capsize Course that we're holding tomorrow, Saturday, Aug. 4th.  Cost for the class is $35, and runs from 9:15am to roughly mid to late afternoon.  If you're interested in attending, please email me directly and cc: Anne Reb at areb@comcast.net.  Course details below:

 

Yep, it's that time of the year again, when SCOW offers its world-famous Flying Scot Capsize Course!   A fun time is had by all, as we take the Scots out, capsize them on purpose, and teach you how to get them back upright.  We take two of the cruisers and two Flying Scots down to Smoots Cove, just south of the Wilson Bridge and tip boats over (water fights are optional, but have been known to break out spontaneously during this event).  This is a great class to take if you have any fear at all of the boats going over.  You'll get a better sense of just how far over the Scots can go without actually capsizing, and if they do capsize, you'll learn it's not that big of a deal to get the mast pointing back up towards the sky. 

 

If you're a Flying Scot skipper, I highly recommend taking this course.  But note: skippership is NOT required for this course, it's open to anyone willing to learn and have a fun day out on the water.

 

Fair winds,

Thom Unger
