Approved: gm5q2tp A la carte registrations now open ....form attached below WEST MARINE TRAWLER FEST POULSBO, WASHINGTON ~ JUNE 5-8, 2002 . . . it's not just a boat show! WHAT'S NEW FOR POULSBO 2002. Building on the last six years, Poulsbo 2002 attendees will experience a totally revitalized seminar program. In every one of the nine time slots over the three day program there is at least one new seminar never presented at Pousbo before. In fact, of the 27 time slots, over 20 are new presentations. Below is a sampling only. For registration and detailed information call 1-888-wmtfest (1-888-968-3378), visit your local West Marine store, or log on to http://www.trawlerworld.com. PASSAGEMAKER OF THE YEAR Michael took Starship, his Northern Marine 75, on a 1,009-day voyage to visit 53 countries. During a multimedia presentation, Michael will show a portion of the 45,000 pictures and 400 hours of video he collected during his 75,000-mile adventure of a lifetime. The adventure started in Anacortes, not far from Poulsbo, where Northern Marines are built, and concluded in Hamburg in Michael's native Germany. Michael gave his presentation at Solomons and received the most rave reviews ever. This presentation is so good, we have scheduled it for a double seminar slot. It is an opportunity not to be missed. KEYNOTE ADDRESS: GO VOYAGING! GO CRUISING! GO NOW! Do you dream of adventure, of cruising on your own boat far and wide? Marlene Allen, author of "Running With The Tide", will urge and inspire you to be proactive in making dreams come true. She lives by the axiom stated by Will Rogers, "You can be on the right track, but if you just sit there you'll get run over." Marlene and her husband, Bob, have been on the cruising track, first under sail and, now, power, for an astounding 37 years--with no plans to stop now. She tells it all, the good, the bad and the ugly of cruising - sharing small quarters with another, the thrills of each new landfall, guests on board and what makes it all seem so right. LIVE ON-WATER DOCKING DEMONSTRATION FOR SINGLES Using spring lines, the poor man's bow thruster; Back & Fill, a practical application in prop/rudder interaction; Spinning a single-engine boat in nearly a boat length; Approaching/departing a crowded fuel dock; Managing adverse wind and currents; and Crew communication and responsibilities. These will be the topics demonstrated as Peter Pisciotta of SeaSkills demystifies single-engine boat maneuvers. LIVE ON-WATER DEMONSTRATION OF CREW-OVERBOARD RESCUE FROM A TRAWLER This live demonstration will show what to do if someone takes an unexpected tumble into the drink. Rescue of the person in the water is one of the most vexing problems in seamanship, due to limited visibility and maneuverability that many trawlers offer. It's especially troubling for couples should the captain go overboard. Learn from the pros on how you can prepare your boat for hoisting a crew member out of the water, what maneuvers work, and what equipment will increase your chances of a successful rescue. COLOR AND SPACE ABOARD TRAWLERS A beautiful interior can make cruising an ongoing joy. Make good use of space and color to help you achieve your personal design goals. Lowie Bock of Salty Dawg, a Pilgrim 43 Custom, explains the basic principles of space and color so you can design a new interior or facelift an existing one. Lowie has a degree in interior design and is a juried artist. NETWORKING FOR WOMEN WITH WOMEN ABOARD The international network for women in boating, Women Aboard, invites all Sea Sisters and interested guests to their reunion and program. Plenty of time will be allocated to networking, and attendees will have the opportunity to informally Q&A experienced women who have thousands of nautical miles under their keels. An informative and fun afternoon hosted by the Pacific Northwest Chapter of Women Aboard. NETWORKING YOUR TRAWLER AS A SOHO Are you a liveaboard or do you do substantial computer-related work while aboard? Do you need a Small Office/Home Office environment onboard? Bob Miller will present a solution for you during a hands-on presentation aboard Loon Song 2, his 55-foot HiStar Yacht Fisherman. In all, thirty seminars and presentations, and dozens of boats at the seventh annual West Marine Trawler Fest in the Pacific Northwest, taking place June 5-8 in picturesque Poulsbo, Washington, near Seattle.
