Like taxes, growing old is inevitable! For some it may mean giving up sailing while others, like Gilbert, find a way of dealing with the changes associated with ageing so they can continue to enjoy a life with boats. Gilbert has been sailing for nearly 50 years and the first adaptation he made was moving from sail to power. No more aching hands from cold, wet ropes. Once this jump was made he found ways to make time on the water even more safe and enjoyable. Gilbert says he likes to think he is a practical innovator and there will be little theory in this talk, but a lot of tips as to how to cope with age-related physical and mental difficulties. Many of these tips can be useful to those who don’t think we’re old yet!
