Women’s Boating Seminar February 18
The 15th Annual Women’s Boating
Seminar will take place at the North Seattle Community College. This event is for women only and is fun, inspirational as well as educational. Guest speakers are professional women in the boating industry, sharing their knowledge about a variety of boating topics related to both power and sail. Judy Nasmith started this event
back in 1998 when she saw the need as a yacht broker to encourage women to be more involved in the sport. This has resulted in women being more confident in taking the helm and enjoying their time on the water. Choose from a variety of topics to
suit your interest and skill level. Gift certificates available and includes choice of classes, refreshments, lunch and drawing for valuable door prizes. Full details and registration available
at
www.latitudesailingassoc.org or call (206) 963-3560.

INSTALL 5hp – 2000hp
Business or Pleasure, AquaDrive will make your boat smoother, quieter and vibration free.
The AquaDrive system solves a
problem nearly a century old; the fact that marine engines are installed on soft engine mounts and attached almost rigidly to the propeller shaft. The very logic of AquaDrive is inescapable. An engine that is vibrating
on soft mounts needs total freedom of movement from its propshaft if noise and vibration are not to be transmitted to the hull. The AquaDrive provides just this freedom of movement. Tests proved that the AquaDrive with its softer engine mountings can reduce vibration by 95% and structure borne noise by 50% or more. For information, call Drivelines NW today.
