      <title>5PM at CASA Sailing Skills Clinic with Karina and Paul (August 18, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p data-path-to-node="4" style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step aboard a living piece of maritime history and discover the art of traditional sailing. The Azorean Whaleboat is a masterpiece of open-boat design—light, fast, and highly responsive. Because these historic vessels are completely keel-less, they demand active seamanship, precise coordination, and a true understanding of how wind, sail trim, and crew weight interact to stabilize and power the boat.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-path-to-node="5" style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This hands-on program is designed to transform you into an effective, versatile crew member. You won't just sit along for the ride; you will actively rotate through every critical position on the vessel.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3 data-path-to-node="8"&gt;Master Every Position&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul data-path-to-node="9"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p data-path-to-node="9,0,0"&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node="9,0,0" data-index-in-node="0"&gt;The Helm (Skippering):&lt;/strong&gt; Experience the direct, powerful feedback of a traditional long-tiller.

      <title>5PM "READ DESCRIPTION" Azorean Whaleboat Sailing Skills Clinic with Karina and Paul (August 25, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p data-path-to-node="4" style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step aboard a living piece of maritime history and discover the art of traditional sailing. The Azorean Whaleboat is a masterpiece of open-boat design—light, fast, and highly responsive. Because these historic vessels are completely keel-less, they demand active seamanship, precise coordination, and a true understanding of how wind, sail trim, and crew weight interact to stabilize and power the boat.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-path-to-node="5" style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This hands-on program is designed to transform you into an effective, versatile crew member. You won't just sit along for the ride; you will actively rotate through every critical position on the vessel.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3 data-path-to-node="8"&gt;Master Every Position&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul data-path-to-node="9"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p data-path-to-node="9,0,0"&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node="9,0,0" data-index-in-node="0"&gt;The Helm (Skippering):&lt;/strong&gt; Experience the direct, powerful feedback of a traditional long-tiller. Without a heavy keel to self-correct, you will learn the fine art of keeping the boat balanced through active steering, anticipating puffs, and reading the water.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p data-path-to-node="9,1,0"&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node="9,1,0" data-index-in-node="0"&gt;The Main Sheet:&lt;/strong&gt; Manage the massive, distinctive mainsail. You will learn how to quickly power up or spill wind to control the boat's heel, keeping the vessel fast and upright.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p data-path-to-node="9,2,0"&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node="9,2,0" data-index-in-node="0"&gt;The Jib:&lt;/strong&gt; Master the mechanics of headsail trim on an open boat, managing tacks smoothly and working in perfect sync with the main sheet handler to maintain the boat's momentum.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p data-path-to-node="9,3,0"&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node="9,3,0" data-index-in-node="0"&gt;Traditional Rigging &amp;amp; Boat Prep:&lt;/strong&gt; Learn the authentic setup of the mast, spars, and lines from the dock up. You'll master the essential knots, hardware, and safety checks unique to these traditional open craft.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3 data-path-to-node="11" style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Google Sans, sans-serif"&gt;Structured for Learning&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p data-path-to-node="12" style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Google Sans Text, sans-serif"&gt;Every session is split into two focused blocks to maximize your progression:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>5PM "READ DESCRIPTION" Azorean Whaleboat Sailing Skills Clinic with Karina and Paul (September 01, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p data-path-to-node="4" style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step aboard a living piece of maritime history and discover the art of traditional sailing. The Azorean Whaleboat is a masterpiece of open-boat design—light, fast, and highly responsive. Because these historic vessels are completely keel-less, they demand active seamanship, precise coordination, and a true understanding of how wind, sail trim, and crew weight interact to stabilize and power the boat.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-path-to-node="5" style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This hands-on program is designed to transform you into an effective, versatile crew member. You won't just sit along for the ride; you will actively rotate through every critical position on the vessel.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3 data-path-to-node="8"&gt;Master Every Position&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul data-path-to-node="9"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p data-path-to-node="9,0,0"&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node="9,0,0" data-index-in-node="0"&gt;The Helm (Skippering):&lt;/strong&gt; Experience the direct, powerful feedback of a traditional long-tiller. Without a heavy keel to self-correct, you will learn the fine art of keeping the boat balanced through active steering, anticipating puffs, and reading the water.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p data-path-to-node="9,1,0"&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node="9,1,0" data-index-in-node="0"&gt;The Main Sheet:&lt;/strong&gt; Manage the massive, distinctive mainsail. You will learn how to quickly power up or spill wind to control the boat's heel, keeping the vessel fast and upright.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p data-path-to-node="9,2,0"&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node="9,2,0" data-index-in-node="0"&gt;The Jib:&lt;/strong&gt; Master the mechanics of headsail trim on an open boat, managing tacks smoothly and working in perfect sync with the main sheet handler to maintain the boat's momentum.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p data-path-to-node="9,3,0"&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node="9,3,0" data-index-in-node="0"&gt;Traditional Rigging &amp;amp; Boat Prep:&lt;/strong&gt; Learn the authentic setup of the mast, spars, and lines from the dock up. You'll master the essential knots, hardware, and safety checks unique to these traditional open craft.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3 data-path-to-node="11" style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Google Sans, sans-serif"&gt;Structured for Learning&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p data-path-to-node="12" style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Google Sans Text, sans-serif"&gt;Every session is split into two focused blocks to maximize your progression:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
