Author of the best selling nautical publication World Cruising Routes, Jimmy Cornell, is making a rare US appearance at the Strictly Sail Miami Boat Show. He has sailed over 200,000 nautical miles in all the oceans of the world and is the main source of practical information for cruising sailors around the world. On Friday and Sunday, Jimmy will be presenting free seminars sponsored by Blue Water Sailing Media. His topics include Planning Your Dream Voyage, World Cruising Today and Highlights of a Sailing Life. Jimmy is truly inspiring and makes you believe that cruising the world is within everyone's grasp.
For an even more in-depth opportunity with Jimmy Cornell, register for the Long Distance Cruising Master Class including Planning Your Dream Voyage on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The cost of the seminar is $155.00 per person and includes 6 hours with Jimmy Cornell, one (2-day) ticket to the show and buffet lunch aboard the Biscayne Lady at Miamarina at Bayside. You must register in advance for this special opportunity.
The Hands-on Learning Center will have many opportunities for beginner to advance sailors. Learn basic sailing skill in a 90-minute clinic designed with the beginners in mind. More experienced sailors can take a Coastal Cruising and Bareboat Charter session which will cover heave to, reefing and MOB drills. Advanced sailors can take a 3 1/2 hour, underway seminar geared towards advanced coastal cruising. Registration in advance is required for all of these sessions.
What is a boat show without a Latitudes and Attitudes Cruisers Party? Join Bob Bitchin for the Seventh Annual Miami Cruiser’s Bash.
