Wound Care Class December 3


The makers of Expedition Medical


Chests are offering a hands-on class in wound care, specifically targeted to cruisers. Even though most medical kits come with how-to information, and there are a few good books on the market, most folks ignore this essential learning curve until someone is bleeding like crazy. This is not the time to start Googling for answers, or thumbing through your on- board medical text with one hand while stanching blood flow with the other. Kirsten Hansen is a nurse with 20


years in the field, "I've included the materials I'd expect to reach for in an emergency room," she says. "I know from experience that this stuff works." In this hands-on class, Kirsten


will guide you through a succession of emergency scenarios, including some made up on the spot by students. Everyone will have a chance to repeat procedures until they are comfortable; lots of materials will be on-hand. There will also be plenty of


opportunity to ask questions, discuss previous injuries at sea and how they were handled, and get very familiar with the state-of-the-art in medical supplies. She will also discuss other common emergencies such as hypothermia, burns, and other types of injuries. Each student gets to take home an


Expedition Medical Chest. The class will be held at 101 North First Street, La Conner. To reserve your spot or ask questions, please email Kirsten kelrid.hansen@gmail.com


Following their acquisition of


Andersen in the fall of 2010, Ronstan has begun formal US distribution of their well-known stainless steel winches. Best known for their enduring


quality and beautiful finish, Andersen has built a reputation for excellence and expertise with their stainless steel winches. “The Ronstan team in America


is ready and excited to begin selling winches. We are well into the preparation process and looking forward to an exciting relaunch of the brand in the US,” said Scot West, President of Ronstan USA. Distribution will remain unchanged in Canada, where longtime Andersen and Ronstan distributor, Rekord Marine, will continue to distribute Andersen.

DMK Yacht is pleased to announce


that Ray Hines has become a certified installer of DMK marine electronics. Ray has been active in the Puget Sound sailing community since moving to the area in 2005. Many of you may remember him as the long haired guy who sold dinghies at the January boat show. The recession took its toll on Ray in 2007 which gave him more time to travel and play with his band, “Gertrude’s Hearse.” DMK Yacht is a company focused


on simple solutions to linking your yacht to your Apple iOS device. Visit www.DMKyacht.com for more info. To ask about install packages or scheduling the band, shoot Ray an e-mail at ray.hines@kdmiseattle.com


Darwin says:


Then bring them to us and we'll


clean out the dirt producing, fabric destroying crud and creepies.


We also remove green algae and rust!


Remove those sails for the winter!
