Activities will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. OCC's Sailing Center is located at 1801 W. Pacific Coast Highway in Newport Beach, between the Balboa Bay Club and the Orange County Sea Scout Base. Participants will see how Alaska Eagle is uniquely outfitted for her South Pacific and Alaska voyages, and will sample Volcano's sophisticated navigation equipment. OCC Marine Program director and veteran skipper, Brad Avery, will provide an overview of the college's Adventure Sailing Program, and will announce the program's 1998-99 itinerary. OCC offers one of the largest sailing and marine programs in the nation. More than 6,000 people annually enroll in sailing classes.
Courses range from beginning sailing to advanced navigation and offshore cruises.
Private funding through donations to OCC's Foundation make the program possible.
