Default Almost worth a trip...

Gee, it would almost be worth a trip from Australia for this :-)

I attended this class this winter and if you're looking to build up your terminology, wrap your heads around how to look at loads on your boat, see the tools of trade and get a bit of hands on experience, then this is a great class. I think it increased my general knowledge and has prepared me for my next conversations with a rigger as I plan my own re-rig.

I would highly reccomend pre-reading chapter 5 in Brion's book. I had never read any of his book before the class and I think I would have picked up a bit more had I read that chapter before the class, but you could away with out it and Brion will probably give you a deal on a signed copy there in the loft if you'd rather wait. ;-)

Also, bring any and all schematics and part lists of your rigging for your boat. I had mine and that made the class more practicial to me.

Enjoy, well worth the trip and Port Townsend is a neat town with several good places to eat and drink (of course). Check out yelp.com for reccomendations if you've never been there.
