In November, the San Francisco Station "crashes" the St Francis Yacht Club Wednesday Yachting Lunch! The speaker will be Chuck Hawley, Rear Commodore of the SAF Station, who will talk about his experiences investigating various marine accidents and incidents, and the results of those investigations. During his 6 years as Chairman of US Sailing's Safety at Sea Committee, Chuck and his committee members were called in several times to investigate sailing incidents, or to assist the Coast Guard in finding out what exactly happened, and how to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Ron Young, the organizer behind the Wednesday Yachting Lunch series, will interview Chuck and open it up to the audience to ask questions.
