This is Tom.  



You can often find him hanging around Cooper Boating on Granville Island.  He’s one of our Instructors, and also one of our capable crew aboard our entry boat Alegria for the 2016 VicMaui race.

Right now, Tom is trying out some new safety gear for ascending and descending masts- I’ve been given the task of contact person- I am standing in the nice warm office with my coffee in one hand, 2 way radio in the other- watching Tom out in the crisp air wrangling lines.

“Hello Max, testing”.  Says Tom.   Max has just gone to lunch.

“Max isn’t here Tom,  It’s Jeny”. 

“Ok great- just testing my emergency line”

“Oh don’t worry Tom”, I say, “ you’re completely safe in my very capable puppeteering manipulative hands”. 

There’s a short burst of static. . . did he drop the radio?  

“Oh!” he chuckles, “that’s - really. . .  great!”

I think he likes Max better.   It’s probably a guy thing.

our 2013 YACHT EXPO seminars have a great lineup - DON MARTIN, 2012 BC SPORTS HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE headlines VANCOUVER while DEREK HATFIELD of the SPIRIT OF CANADA offshore challenges headlines our ALBERTA events and many more experts partake in our fun get togethers on a great variety of topics

 

JEFF COTE is back to shock you on MARINE ELECTRICAL items, as is DAVE BONAR of BOSUN'S YACHT SALES - both with new topics and the same great delivery

JEFF SUTCLIFFE, only 16 YEARS OLD, will draw on his two VICTORIA-MAUI races and help you discover your appetite for a similar adventure
