Greetings! If you dream of passagemaking to faraway places in a trawler yacht, you'll want to attend the third annual West Marine Passagemaking Under Power Symposium. It will take place October 31-November 2 in conjunction with the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. Heidi and Wolfgang Hass, who are in the midst of their third circumnavigation, will leave Kanaloa, their Nordhavn 46, in Australia, to join us in Fort Lauderdale as featured presenters. Maude and Frank Ruffin, back in the U.S. after a five-year cruise to the Med with Horizons, their Krogen 54, are also on the program, together with circumnavigator Bruce Kessler and experts such as Jim Leishman, Pam Wall, Milt Baker and Bud LeMieux. A trans-Atlantic theme runs through all program sessions. All leading makes of trawler yachts will be on display only steps from the symposium, making for an incredible show-seminar combination. The information-packed program is divided into segments to suit your interest and experience: Passagemaking 101 Passagemaking for Women 101 Communication for Passagemakers 202 Trans-Atlantic Passagemaking 202 Full particulars are posted at <http://www.passagemakingunderpower.com>.
