- Soooo many things to consider! What are the basics that you need? What are the fun things that might want to add? What's new and exciting? Hamilton Marine will be here to make sure you have what you need to be safe out on the water.
- Sails and rigging - keeping everything in shape, using the right materials ... your boat's performance, whether it's 14' or 60' depends on how your boat is rigged. The folks at Bohndell Sails and Rigging help people plan for new boats, repair old boats, and keep us all "pointed" in the right direction!
- Spring is just around the corner, and as soon as the weather turns (or the wood stove in your shop cranks up) you'll be sanding and scraping, getting ready for next summer. Knowing which coatings and finishes are right for your boat, the conditions you sail in, and the amount of time you want to spend is critical to keeping your boat in "ship shape" condition.
- Being on the water is fun - until it isn't. Getting caught in a squall, developing an unidentified leak or having a thru-hull fail - conditions can change without a moment's notice. Making sure you have what you need to stay safe out on the water is key to boating. We'll be demonstrating how life rafts work (can't wait to see this!) and hear about other equipment that you should have on board for those unexpected occurrences.
