Mystic Seaport Museum

<a href="https://mudhead.org/events/spring-sailing-seminar/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Get tickets!</a>The Mudhead Spring Seminar is featuring our own Laura Grondin, Rolex Yacht Woman of the year, as speaker.&nbsp; Laura will speak on her successes in sailing, how to build a successful team, and her time as a Mudhead.&nbsp; It will be held at the Mystic Seaport Sailing Center, at 7PM on April 29.&nbsp; Refreshments will be provided.&nbsp; RSVP required with a $10 donation. The following bio is from the US Sailing site:
Laura Grondin – Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year&nbsp;
Laura Grondin proved herself a formidable competitor in the world of sport keelboats&nbsp;in 2025 with her team&nbsp;Dark Energy.&nbsp;Grondin&nbsp;made history as the first female helm to win the J/70 World Championship&nbsp;this&nbsp;past year,&nbsp;with the title coming down to the&nbsp;last moments&nbsp;of the final race.&nbsp;Grondin also finished second at the Melges 24 World Championship, overcoming a collision and two DNFs early in the regatta.&nbsp;This is her first Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year win, although she was named a nominee in 2021 and 2022.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Outside her accomplishments in 2025 for which she was awarded the Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year, Grondin has had prior success in the J/70 fleet, finishing third at the World Championship in 2021 and 2023.&nbsp;She is a former International Melges 24 Class&nbsp;Chair and&nbsp;is one of the class’s most accomplished female owner-drivers, consistently&nbsp;demonstrating&nbsp;competitive excellence and leadership both on and off the water.&nbsp;
“The Rolex Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year Awards represent the very highest standard of excellence in our sport,” remarked Charlie Enright, US Sailing CEO. “Having been fortunate enough to receive this honor myself, I know how meaningful it is—not just as recognition of results, but as acknowledgment of the dedication, teamwork, and resilience required to succeed at the highest level of sailing. This year’s winners truly exemplify what makes American sailing world-class.”&nbsp;

Mystic Museum of Art

Taught by Laura LoTurco-Gorian
This workshop offers an intensive, hands-on learning experience focused on understanding monotypes, a painterly printmaking process that allows for flexibility and freedom using drawing and painting methods. Each print is unique, and unlike many other printmaking techniques, monotypes do not require a press. This process encourages experimentation with a variety of materials and methods, often resulting in spontaneous and surprising outcomes.
Gel plates add further flexibility for creating texture-rich prints. The workshop explores the distinctive impressions that can be achieved by combining these techniques and simple materials, providing a creative and accessible introduction to this versatile printing method suitable for both beginners and experienced artists.
All materials are provided, with the exception of the gel plate. Participants are encouraged to purchase a gel plate in any size that fits their needs and budget (available online). Bringing baby wipes and a smock is recommended.
A $5 materials fee is payable to the instructor. 
Please bring a lunch.
Saturday, 10am – 3:30pm

Members $125 / Nonmembers $140
