NW Multihull Association In Person & Zoom Meeting Tuesday, Oct 5, Seattle

[ejlindahl]

The Northwest Multihull Association has restarted its in person meetings at the Puget Sound Yacht Club. Our members are a mix of Corsair/Farrier owners + Cruising cats & tris; factory & home builds, of all ages. We will follow our Governor's requirements: Only those who are fully vaccinated should attend in person, and masks are required indoors except when eating or drinking. The room is large and well ventilated with several windows and doors. 2321 N. Northlake Way, Seattle.

Our speaker will be on Zoom from the east coast. We will have microphones and monitors at the yacht club for interchange between those present and those on line. Its a little clunky but works ok.



Here is the announcement & Zoom instructions, hope to see you there:

Tuesday October 5: “Dark Seas: The Voyages of Captain Donald Lawson” presented by Captain Donald Lawson

6:30 pm PST - Potluck and visiting

7:00 - Club meeting

7:30 - Presentation

Captain Donald Lawson is an accomplished racer, sailing instructor and boat captain.

Captain Lawson hopes to break 12 world records during his voyage around the planet, including being the first African American to sail solo non stop around the world.

He is a devoted and passionate multihull sailor having won the Chesapeake Bay Multihull Championship twice.

After developing his own sailing skills on the Chesapeake Bay, Captain Lawson branched off into solo & shorthanded sailing around the US and throughout Europe.

Captain Lawson now has his sights on setting world records including short courses and the 2024 Vendee Globe around the world race.

For the record runs, Captain Lawson will sail onboard a clean energy powered trimaran that will be equipped with solar panels, hydro-generators and a bio diesel engine.

His greater goal is to inspire minorities and low-income students about the maritime industry, careers on the water and the joy of sailing, while providing access to much-needed resources.
