Next General Meeting - "Bill of Rights" Schooner Presentation Be prepared for a taste of open water sailing at our SBARC club meeting this Friday night. Our guests Stewart Stone, KG6BOV, and Roger Morris, will take us for a tour, via Power Point Presentation, aboard this beautiful vessel. The Bill of Rights is a replica of a 19th century Schooner and was built in Maine in 1971. She is 136 feet long and has nearly 25 feet of beam. Her mainmast stands 115 feet above the deck. She now calls Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard her home.

Do You Want Your Extra Class License?

SBARC is planning a class for those interested in obtaining an Extra Class License. Each student will need to buy the Extra Class License Manual on their own, as the club does not stock them. There needs to be at least 6 students to justify having the class. If interested, call Kevin KJ6GDT at (805) 683-7711 and leave your contact information.
