St. Augustine, Florida — The Seven Seas Cruising Association (SSCA), in partnership with Ladybug Events, recently hosted a successful gathering combining the SSCA Conference with the Ladybug Regatta. Cruisers from across the sailing community came together for several days of seminars, dockside discussions, hands on workshops aboard boats, and on the water activities designed to support both experienced voyagers and those preparing for their first cruising adventures.

Webinar also covers why surveys matter and what today’s market looks like for boat purchases and sales.
