The four unique talks will be held on Friday evenings, starting February 3, 2017:

February 10 – Offshore Sailing: A Modern Day Adventure
February 17 – Seven Years Aboard a 31ft Sailboat and Still Married

The events will be held in the comfortable and spacious theatre at the HR MacMillan Space Centre in Vancouver.

Tickets prices for OCA remain very reasonable at $10 for Bluewater Cruising Association members and $15 for the general public for individual presentations. The best deal is the series ticket that covers all four evenings. These are priced at $30 for Bluewater members and $50 for the general public.
