Training and Seminars

Julia Paxton: Loose Cannon.  She's anything but a loose cannon.  A professional mariner, Julia is a veteran of big (SC50)  and small (Express 27) boat crossings, experiencing victory in both (including the closely-fought defeat of her cousin Will to take her division in the last Pac Cup).

Gary Troxel: Tiki Blue. This former Commodore aboard his Beneteau has one of the most personable boats around and can share a wide range of experiences. Bob Gray says he's our best presenter, but don't tell Jim.  Register here.

Jim Quanci Green Buffalo.  Jim is one of the most prolific crossers, and is oddly fond of the return trip aboard his and Mary's Cal 40 Green Buffalo. Registration Required.

Michael Moradzadeh and Melinda Erkelens

Staged by our friends at Back Country Medical Guides, this intensive seminar includes time on-board a boat rehearsing potentially life-saving procedures in realistic conditions.  While the training is optional under our race rules, this kind of skill on board is highly recommended.
