Panel on Seamanship: Video

In March of 2018, three of our members presented a panel in seamanship to a full house in New York Yacht Club's renowned Model Room.

Presenting were:

  • John Rousmaniere
  • Ralph Naranjo
  • Rich Wilson

We recorded a video of the presentations, and provide for your review a brief edited highlights version, and the full 45-minute event. Although the audio is a bit fuzzy, the content is thought-provoking and will help any sailor step up their expertise afloat.
