Snow and ice, ice and snow, and no thaw in sight. Nothing more disheartening than looking at your boat covered in shrinkwrap and knowing it's going to be two months before you can get to work.

Take heart, friends! We have just the thing to warm your spirits! On February 24, we're bringing together a group of marine industry experts, just for you. All those questions you have about how to rewire your panel, that funny noise the engine made at the end of the season, that varnish project you've been putting off for two seasons... the answers will be here.

Ben Hall, co-founder of Hall Spars, will be on hand to talk spars and rigging; Paul Dow, the manager of the mechanical/electrical department at New England Boatworks is ready to make suggestions; Dennis Klodner, founder of DePaul Diesel in Portsmouth will address all those tricky engine questions. Brian Gustafson of New England Tech will share boat painting tips, our friends at IMTRA can offer ideas about lighting, and a North Sails expert will have the latest and greatest recommendations.

Brought to you by Points East, this evening offers an informal setting with those in the know, so you can find out everything you need to plan your spring projects. Cisco Brewers will provide complimentary refreshments!

Admission is $5 for the general public, free for Museum members. We're tremendously excited about this evening; hope you'll be there.
