RE: 2010 Expert Speaker Series
Dear Fellow Boating Enthusiast:
Have you heard the awesome news?
Starting August 23rd, 2010, our first Expert Speaker Series (via internet) for this year will be held to arm boaters, like yourself, with vital secrets to save time and money buying the boat of your dreams. And how to protect you and your loved ones in case of an emergency while you're out cruising in your new watercraft.
Now that's a tall order, wouldn't you agree?
You already know buying a boat is one of the most challenging things you'll ever do in your life. And, it's an awesome way to include both your family and friends. Not to mention all the fun you'll have out on the water.
Here's just a few things you'll learn from these telephone interviews:
Do's and don'ts when buying a boat
Two little known tools surveyors use to determine a boat's age and condition
Three surprizing reasons why marinas require the
insurance they do
How you can still get a boat
loan even if your credit score is less than 720
How a commercial emergency signaling technology has
saved more than 25,000 lives since
1982 and is now available for
pleasure boaters
What
to do when you get caught in a bad storm or heavy weather
Why customizing your electrical and
instrument panels makes sense
How Digital Selective Calling and the Automated Identification System save lives in a
Search and Rescue operation
The advantages and disadvantages
of having a multihull craft over a monohull
Three powerful strategies you can use to best
prepare your boat for rentals
What's changed to take sailing from man amateur sport to top of the game
earning a decent living
Sounds Great, Doesn't It?

So, let's meet these speakers, shall we?
