SailMail Seminar

By Ross Tibbets | February 21, 2014 | San Francisco Bay |

You may have heard about SailMail and you might have even used it the last time you were cruising or when you raced the PacCup two years ago. But, there’s a good chance you didn’t take advantage of all its capabilities. SailMail is fundamentally an email service that functions with SSB, Satelite phone, Immarstat, or WiFi. But there’s a lot more to this service than just email.

This coming Tuesday, February 25, at Richmond YC a seminar will be held explaining SailMail’s broader capabilities. Eric Steinberg of Farallon Electronics and PacCup Chair Steve Chamberlin will explain SailMail’s weather service capabilities, how to get position reports, send and receive email, update you blog site and more. This seminar is open to all, costs only $5 and goes from 7-9 p.m.

Sign-up online and you’ll learn learn why low bandwidth communication doesn’t mean you can’t have high expectations for your communication while at sea.

We’ve never like crocs, the ugly-but-functional footwear that are sometimes referred to as "the fanny packs of the 2000s."
