SEQUIM — The North Olympic Sail and Power Squadron on Saturday will offer a free seminar to teach boaters how to safely use propane systems.
“It is a big deal around here,” said Tom O’Laughlin, squadron executive officer.
“Propane on boats is a sensitive thing” and should be approached with caution, he said.
The seminar, presented by Gordon Bilyard, will be from 10 a.m. to noon at the Gathering Place at SunLand Golf & Country Club, 135 Fairway Drive.
It will familiarize participants with the properties of propane, the components of propane systems on boats, system operation and maintenance, and safety considerations, organizers say.
Sources for additional information and assistance to inspect and properly maintain a boat propane system also will be provided.
For more information on this clinic or other classes offered by the squadron, contact O’Laughlin at 360-670-2798 or visit www.northolympicboaters.com.
