Every year, Passagemaker Magazine celebrates the trawler lifestyle with regional events called TrawlerFest. These events take place in coastal port cities in Washington, Maryland and Florida.
Typically held in a marina setting with boats at the docks, rooms for seminars and outside tents filled with vendors, it is an excellent opportunity for guests to climb aboard new and used trawlers, attend educational seminars and enjoy the casual ambiance with like-minded people who share a strong interest in power cruising.
For over twenty years, Jeff have been invited back to be a presenter at the TrawlerFests across the country. One of Jeff's TrawlerFest highlights was giving a presentation in Annapolis, MD about the Nordhavn 40 “Around the World” expedition to an audience of several hundred trawler enthusiasts.
Seminar Topics Presented by Jeff
- Purchasing a trawler
- Enjoying your trawler
- Dialing in your trawler
- Offshore Cruising Preparations
- Boat Buyer's Survival Guide
- Cruiser's Round Table
Each one of these classes has been a great opportunity for Jeff to share experiences, ideas and photos with fellow boaters. The question and answer sessions at the end of these talks allow for some great exchanges.
