For three years, long-standing CA member Paul Heiney sailed to the depths of South America on a cruise which eventually took him round the infamous Cape Horn. It is one of sailing’s most feared, yet respected headlands. He will tell us the story of his Cape Horn adventure during which he clocked up 18,000 miles and explains why a ‘quick dash’ is the only way to do it.
But there are many stories to tell of his passage south, and the ocean legs which he sailed single-handed, and of his 6,000 mile solo passage back home, which reached a climax of the Azores with his ‘rescue’ in unseasonable conditions.
It is a lecture lavishly illustrated with video footage taken on the voyage
