Webinar Broadcasts

All classes are interactive and presented live over the internet. Unless otherwise indicated, webinar sessions run between 60 and 90 minutes. Classes are very affordable. As a non-profit service to the Great Lakes boating community, our sponsoring organization, the Great Lakes Cruising Club, tries to keep registration costs as low as possible while covering presentation hosting and instructional costs.

Can't make a live webinar? Well the, try "Live Streaming" us. All webinars are recorded and made available the day after the live presentation. Recordings can be viewed as often as you like and at any time of the day or night. Recordings remain available through August.

Whether you're able to attend the live event or not, as a registered participant for a webinar you will receive a link to a recording of the class after the live event. In addition, in case you have questions we will provide you with your instuction's email.
