“Cooper’s Winter Day of Sailing”
A day of thinking, watching and talking about sailing in the midst of winter
10:00: West Marine, Middletown: SEMINAR
379 West Main Road, Middletown, RI: No Charge
Sailing consultant Joe Cooper will present a seminar on preparing yourself
and your boat for your next longer passage. All of us are always dreaming of
taking our boats (and ourselves) on something a bit longer than we have done
before, be it out to Block Island, over to Nantucket, or up to Maine. For
many folks on the East Coast, a trip to Bermuda is the highlight of many
years of sailing locally. In this seminar, Cooper will address how to think
about pushing yourselves to go further.
Refreshments will be available.
12:30-14:00, The Daily Shake, Middletown: LUNCH
883 West Main Road, Middletown, RI (about a mile north of West Marine)
Treat yourself to a healthy lunch that every sailor should know about;
priced $6-$12 for high energy herbal tea, a nutritious meal replacement
shake, protein bar, and more.
15:00-17:00, Seamen’s Church Institute, Newport: O.S.T.A.R. 2009-The MOVIE
At the Seamen’s Church Institute (Newport’s best kept secret) located on
Market Square (between Bowens Wharf and the Newport Harbor Hotel and
Marina), in downtown Newport. Tickets: $20.00 per person with the proceeds
going to the Seamen’s Church Institute and the Short Handed Sailing
Association. Copies of the video will be available for purchase following
the screening.
The Original Single-Handed Transatlantic Race is the original solo ocean
race. Here Cooper introduces this 50-minute movie that was produced by Marco
Nannini, a competitor from the 2009 race, and his brother, a movie man. It
is NOT fire-breathing walls of water with pulsing rock-and-roll music a la
the VOR movies; rather, it is a measured & reflective look at the normal
folks who spend their own time and money putting together their dream of a
solo passage along the historic route in relatively normal boats, much like
the ones we own.
Refreshments will be available after the movie
Please register your interest with me, Joe Cooper at cooper-ndn@cox.net so I
can start a head count.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Coop
