Hi Power Division members

I am happy to announce that the vast majority of planned (and some unplanned) mechanical work for this year on Grand Adventure has been completed. Other than finishing a deep clean of the interior , and the installation of the new mattress in the aft cabin, the boat is ready for use.

We will be holding familiarization sessions over the next ten days or so. There are a lot of systems on the boat to become familiar with, so we encourage all members to participate in the upcoming familiarization opportunities which will be announced shortly.

Please contact either Cam MacRae @250-701-3451, Doug Johnson @250-746-5257 or

myself @250-213-2184 if you need to schedule other dates and times.

Cheers,

Mike

I joined an online presentation by the Nanaimo Power & Sail Squadron presentation on June 28, 2021. The topics were “Dodd Narrows, False Narrows & Pirate’s Cove”.

Videos from the presentation are now available on Youtube”

WLSA members might find this article interesting, especially because of the name of of the place these boats are being built – Värmland, Sweden.

Göran Brandt, entrepreneur and sailing enthusiast, has, uses 3D technology to print a 7.5 meter long part for a brand new type of sailing boat. Something that can revolutionize the boat industry.

“There are many good suppliers here and it is great fun that we can do everything on site in Värmland”, says Göran Brandt.
