Recognizing Chart Symbols
Jane Larson

Picture
What do those lights mean? Why is that signal red and green? Why is that thing making that noise? And where is the “map”?! Learn to identify the aids to navigation that you see on the water: including lights, shapes, colors, sounds, and how to use them as you navigate. We’ll also explore hands-on chart reading and how to apply your new knowledge while sailing to reach your destination safely.

Jane has sailed most of her life but became passionate in 1997 while racing with Bill Gladstone’s Chicago Sailing Club. Since then she has raced in Key West Race Week and on Lake Michigan (including the Queen’s Cup) as well as cruising in the BVI. Jane is involved with MBWSO, MAST, SSYC, and serves on the Board of MCSC, where she is also a volunteer instructor. She has raced and skippered many boats including a 470, J24, Melges24, Laser 28, Tartan-10, J/92 and Beneteau 42S7. In winter, in addition to being a ski instructor trainer, Jane teaches navigation and does the same in summer aboard MCSC’s C&C 29. Jane owns a Cape Dory 25, a Hunter 14, and a 1959 wooden lapstrake powerboat.
