First Aid Seminar - Cancelled

Sadly, the First Aid Seminar scheduled for this Sunday, April 27th is cancelled.  Hopefully we can reschedule at some point in the future.

The Jolly Roger Sailing Club invites you to a first aid seminar, "On-The-Water First Aid: What To Do and What Not To Do"

The instructors, Kellen West and Jasmine Tropf, are professionals with many years of experience in first aid trauma intervention and emergency medical treatment. Kellen and Jasmine have conducted numerous seminars and workshop over their many years of professional practice and they are well known and respected in the sailing and boating communities.

Jasmine and Kellen will present on a variety of medical emergencies: bleeding, fractures, burns, hypothermia, heat related conditions, shock, cardiac event and contacting first responders to report medical emergencies. They will likely cover other topics as well. Participants will work in small groups and have opportunities to practice intervention skills.

Fee: $20 per single, $30 per couple (fee to include morning refreshments and lunch)

This is an RSVP event and limited to sixty (60) attendees.

Please RSVP not later than April 20 to Judy Owens at: 15170magi@gmail.com or 419-367-7759 (call or text)

Winter Blues II Regatta

The 2025 JRSC Winter Blues II Regatta will be raced indoors using 4-inch wooden sailboat models (provided) in Pearson Hall at the Jolly Roger Sailing Club. This race is open to all skippers, young and old. The simple rules to this tabletop sailing game (played with dice, cards, and model sailboats) will be taught prior to Race #1. Although knowledge of racing strategy will help, anyone can participate. (This game was very popular when introduced to our Adult Sailing Class in 2022.)

This Friday (March 7th) is the final night of euchre. It is independent of any prior series and the winner will take half the proceeds ($$) of the night.

Cards hit the table at 7:30 so arrive early to be a winner. This year’s euchre has been a huge financial success to support junior sailing.

The price for euchre is $5. Players of all levels are welcome (both members and non-members), bring a friend and have a great time while supporting our club’s junior sailing program.
