VHF Radios
Sarah Pederson

Picture
Why so many channels? What are they all for? Why doesn’t the hand-held reach the shore station? When is Mayday the right call? When is it not? Do you know what a DSC and an MMSI are? Or how to do a radio check? In this class we’ll explore it all! We’ll tame the VHF beast by learning how it works and how to get what you need when you need to use it. We’ll also do some hands-on practice to get comfortable making calls. Over.

Skill level: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced

Born into a sailing family, Sarah Pederson’s love of the sport started early. While growing up in Kenosha she learned to sail in Penguins and raced a Thistle with her family. She taught for Offshore Sailing School in Florida and Tortola, BVI. When she returned to the Midwest, Sarah taught children and adults in Kenosha and Racine through their yacht clubs. She’s been active in all types of racing from local championships, skippering a Mirage 24, J/24 (all woman crew) and a C&C 30, as well as long distance races such as the Chicago-Mac, Port Huron-Mac, and the HOOK. She is the recent recipient of the US Sailing Safety at Sea Committee: Arthur B Hanson Award (Survivor Liaison).
