Night MOB Practice (Benjamin Walters)

Location: Berkeley Marina

Description: This will be a night live MOB drill, our most challenging skill. Please do not sign up if you are not already certified or very close to it and planning on participating in our probation night sails in the future. Since we take students out at night, this is vital for our night sails...and perhaps the most fun of all of our practices. Few other sailors have done this. Bring your dinner, full foul weather gear and a flash light. Coffee and snacks will be on board.
