“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
