The CYAA committee is pleased to announce the first in a series of technical information evenings.
These will be a series of regular evening presentations in an informal environment where CYAA members can get together over a drink and potentially dinner and learn about how to keep your classic yacht in pristine condition.
For Tech Talk No. 1 we are happy to welcome Frank Brown of Jotun Paints. Frank is a specialist in marine coatings and will provide an insightful review of the problems associated with coating systems and the responses to the maintenance of timber on classic yachts and boats.
This seminar will be held on Wednesday 21st May at 7.30pm in the dining room at the RYCV.
Members are encouraged to come along, have dinner and/or a drink with your fellow classic yacht colleagues, learn something and support your association along the way.
Non CYAA members are also encouraged to attend.
If you cant make it on the night but would still like to be involved a microsoft teams link is available here.
