Southampton Weather School (Part 1) - 5th March

[simonjk]

Good afternoon,

I'm sure that after many requests from forumnites you won't mind me making this announcement here. I am delighted to announce that I will be taking Weather School ‘on the road’ on Saturday 5th March.

Sailing Weather School (Part 1) will be held at the Royal Southampton Yacht Club from 11am to 5pm on Saturday 5th March 2011.

The aim of Sailing Weather Part 1 is to enable all sailors (from beginners to professionals) to make more use of weather forecasts, be able to predict conditions better for themselves, and to have a fuller understanding of weather charts. We cover subjects such as air masses, fronts, pressure systems, clouds, local winds and much more. For more information about what is covered see http://www.weatherweb.net/weatherschoolsailing.htm

The day is intensive but most enjoyable, to see what past delegates thought see http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=217071

The course will cost £125 per person and this cost includes lunch and refreshments on arrival and through the day.

Places are limited and I am hopeful that this will be a popular course. So, to reserve and book your place now please visit
http://www.weatherschool.co.uk You can pay by credit card or Paypal. Alternatively call me on 01902 895252 or email simon@weatherweb.net

The RYSC have assured a verty warm welcome and I do hope that you will be able to join me on what I hope will be a wonderful day of preparation for the new sailing season.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

With best wishes,
Simon

Wife and I thought this would be a great idea till we got to the £250 part ... sorry!

That's a shame Frank, it's booking up....I have to make money from it and have to cover costs.

There have been plenty of husband and wives who have been on the course before and have really enjoyed it. I think you would find it excellent value for money as I am sure others would tesitfy here (see http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=217071 )

Simon,

Are you still planning to run these courses on line?

 

[simonjk]

Probably next winter NDH, although I am restricted with time so fitting them in can be tricky.

If you can make it to this course, I would recommend coming along.

Developing this Weather course

Simon,
I have sent you an e mail about alternatives to this date which clashes with the Dinghy Show. Just waiting for a response form you before I make further plans.

Hi Dom,

Haven't seen an email from you, did you send it to simon at weatherweb.net?

Hi all,

I have received a couple of emails asking about the course, so thought I would post the replies here too.

1. Is this the same course you run in Wombourne?
Yes, Sailing Weather School (Part 1) in Southampton will be the same as Part 1 here in Wombourne.

2. I consider myself to be quite knowledgeable in weather, will I learn anything?
The coiurse has been attended by those new to sailing and some famous round-the-world racers. Everyone says they have learnt much from the course. It is nothing like learning from a text book, and really gets into the weather from a forecasting point of view.


Hope that is okay with all. I have four places remaining as of now.

Simon
