Keynote Speaker
Captain Tiffany Krihwan
Captain Tiffany Krihwan sailed on the S/V Denis Sullivan on the schooner’s maiden voyage and returned in the fall of 2008 as Senior Captain.
Having spent more than 20 years on boats, her passion for sailing has found her in command of sailing vessels from racing dinghies to
chartered yachts to tall ships.
Tiffany’s racing career began at age 10 as she raced Thistles and Flying Juniors and reached a high in the semi-finals of the junior racing
circuit. Following her racing career she taught sailing at the Erie Yacht Club, her home town. After receiving her first USCG Master's license
she was employed by her first tall ship, Appledore IV as the chief mate in 1997 and her love for tall ships was born.
Tiffany has worked in almost every capacity aboard tall ships from deckhand to master, thus honing her skills while continuing her educational
development. She has served as Captain of the STV Unicorn, Chief Mate aboard Pride of Baltimore II, Second Captain of the Denis Sullivan,
Captain of the historic Schooner Roseway, and Chief Mate and Relief Captain of the Brigantine Exy Johnson in Los Angeles, California.
Among other awards, she is a recipient of the Rod Stephens Trophy for Outstanding Seamanship and the 2001 Governor’s Award for
Environmental Education Excellence. As part of a team of three she won the Arthur B. Hanson Rescue Medal from US SAILING for the rescue
at sea of a lost seaman.
Tiffany has a passion for the environment and an educational background in Environmental Science from Edinboro University. She holds
numerous mariners’ licenses and certificates from the United States Coast Guard and for a career she cannot see herself doing anything else
in this world. When she isn’t thinking about boats she enjoys being with her family and watching her young daughter grow up on the Sullivan.

fundamentals of sailing. Receive an introduction to
sailing, boat equipment, points of sail, tacking, jibing,
and basic safety. Even if you already know some basics,
enhance your knowledge with this opportunity to get
questions answered.
Weather On the Water
Amy Seeley
Learn how to understand and use the right information to
make good decisions about pending weather conditions
– for you, your boat, and your crew. Read the clouds, sky,
and wind to predict what is coming and prepare. Discuss
how to stay informed and exercise good judgement for a
great safe-boating experience whether cruising or racing.
Cruising – The Basics of Chartering
Mary Richter
This "how to" course will give you the answers you
need for a sailing adventure in the US and British Virgin
Islands. This beautiful PowerPoint presentation includes,
choosing a reputable charter company, provisioning,
routes, and destinations for great sailing, snorkeling, and
the perfect Caribbean vacation. Great take-home outline
and resource guide. Instructor Mary Richter has done
numerous sailing charters in both the US and British
Virgin Islands and spent one winter living aboard a 50'
sailboat in Puerto Rico.
Block and Tackle
Captain Krihwan
Handy billy, come-a-long, cunningham, smart pig, vang,
preventer, mainsheet, permanent backstay adjuster,
running backstays, traveler, control, lead adjuster, outhaul,
uphaul, downhaul, two-block, chock-a-block, fiddle block,
becket block, falls. So many names, so many uses for a
basic, simple device. You want to move it? Use a block
and tackle. From single to multi-purchase, the block and
tackle is the first among mechanical advantage devices.
Learn how to reeve multi-sheave blocks, set up a cascade
system, and name that power ratio. From dinghys to
square riggers the block and tackle is your best friend.
Docking Demonstration
Cindy Kraus
Class will demonstrate docking using a boat in the water.
One instructor will drive the boat and another will be on
shore narrating the docking procedure. We will dock
the boat numerous times from different angles. You will
be shown how to turn the boat in the smallest possible
space and why it is important to pick the proper approach
angle. You will understand the pivot point, and be able to
actually see that the boat is not actually going where it is
pointed, but is sliding, and how you can use this to your
advantage. Learn which lines to use and how to put them
where you need them to safely and securely put a boat in
a slip. Dockside Class
Basic Sail Trim
Teresa Coronado
Instructor will discuss basic trimming of the main and
jib for different conditions on the lake. On a docked boat,
learn trim and sail handling to get you out sailing with
confidence and the knowledge that you can manage the
sails. These are techniques that you can take with you
to practice out on the water this spring and summer.
Weather On the Web

use the rules appropriately in a competitive situation.
past. Her mission is to educate any of her passengers
about the unique ecosystem of the Great Lakes. Captain
Tiffany Krihwan will introduce you the history of the Great
Lakes cargo schooner and share with you the unique experiences that can only happen on the S/V Denis Sullivan.
different types of sailing. Open water is a special
environment for which your body must be prepared.
Different types of sailing require specific clothing. With
this in mind I will walk you through the choices of
apparel and accessories that are available. The variety
of modern clothing is enormous due to the use of high
tech materials and a number of recent innovations that
compete with traditional sailor’s clothing. I will help you
take the mystery out of different fabrics and styles and
narrow down to the essentials so you can find what you
really need. Apparel and accessories will be on view via a
stationary fashion show.
Diesel Auxiliary Engine
Phyllis McDonald
Using detailed images of a small Yanmar engine, Phyllis
will trace the basic systems of a sailboat’s inboard
auxiliary diesel engine. This introduction starts with
fuel, looks at lubrication and cooling, and finishes with
the starting and charging circuit, gauges, and controls.
Along the way she will point out the usual culprits for
failures and the different symptoms that can point you
to the source of a problem. Bottom line: preventative
maintenance is the key to a happy relationship with your
diesel engine.

racing or cruising, explore how to keep your boat moving
in light-, heavy-air, or critical conditions.
Dockside/On-Boat Class – No Beginners Please
Afternoon Workshops
Night NavigationLori Tisinai
This presentation will focus on navigation at night and
restricted visibility. Topics will include navigational lights
required for vessels, how to identify certain aids to navigation based upon light configuration, navigation rules
and hazards associated with night navigation. We will
also talk about protecting your night vision and the
proper use of your vision to detect objects in the dark.
Sailing Our Fresh Water Ocean
Captain Krihwan
Milwaukee is the home port to Wisconsin’s official
flagship, the S/V Denis Sullivan. The Denis Sullivan is
the only traditional three-masted Great Lakes cargo
schooner in the world. From the mid-1800s to as late as
the 1930s, schooners just like the Denis Sullivan were
the common sailing vessels of the time. On any given
day, there were as many as a hundred cargo schooners
in Milwaukee Harbor. These schooners helped make the
Great Lakes and the Midwest the economic driving force
that it is. With all this industry and development, the
environment paid a heavy toll.
The Denis Sullivan is traditional above the waterline and
modern below. Her cargo is also not the same as in the
Outboard Motors Dawn Johnson
This session is for those who wish to learn the anatomy
of the outboard engine and basic engine maintenance to
keep it running smoothly. Topics will include choosing the
right fuel/oil mixture and selecting the proper oil and gear
case lubricant. The “how to” will deal with changing spark
plugs, maintaining your water pump, changing the gear
case lubricant, and what to do about that propeller. We
will discuss engine winterization and secure mounting
options for sailboat applications.
Bow and Off-the-Wind Work 101
Mickey Neilson
This session will cover boat rigging, terms, and execution
for racing and cruising with asymmetric and symmetric
spinnakers. No prior experience required. Dockside/OnBoat Class – Beginners Welcome
Safety on the Water
Amy Cermak
In this interactive, hands-on workshop you will gain the
knowledge of the safety equipment on your boat, and
learn how to use it. Many aspects of boating safety will
be covered: life jackets, marine radios, flares, man overboard equipment, and more. A must-do course for people
at all levels of sailing.
Using US Sailing
Nancy Glover
US Sailing is not just about rules. The Racing Rules of
Sailing (RRS) that everyone studies so intently are just
a few pages of a book that's filled with directives for
everyone involved in the sport of yacht racing. But that’s
not the end of what is available from US Sailing. Whether
you’re a first-time sailor or an “old salt” instructor, there's
an educational opportunity for everyone. This class will
explore how to access the knowledge of sailors from
across the country and how US Sailing can help you
to become the best and safest sailor you can be.
Knot Just for Sailors
Jenny Townsend
We use knots every day for play, work, and necessity. Can
you imagine how many times we would trip if we didn’t
have knots to tie our shoes! We're going to have some
great fun tying lots of knots, some we will use every day,
and some that we will only need in a pinch. But all knots
are great. Grab your dock lines and let’s tie one on!
Fiberglass Repair
Jeannette De Freist
Learn how to make minor repairs and eliminate blisters
on the hull and deck of a sailboat. We will also learn
how to fabricate fiberglass shapes for light duty such
as cockpit holders or cowling. Class will cover an
assortment of epoxies; their characteristics, strengths,
and drawbacks. This will be a hands-on class in a wellventilated area. Bring an apron, shop coat, or old shirt
and pants to protect your clothing.
