Baltic and back in a season, by Bob and Sue Garrett
Bob and Sue were advised that they couldn’t do the Baltic justice in a single season, but decided to go anyway and see as many countries as possible. They sailed 3,800 miles, mostly day sailing, and visited nine countries, going as far as St Petersburg on Intrepid, a Dufour 365. They spent 182 days on board and will talk about why they did it, their preparation, the route, the practicalities and the places they saw.
Some things that can spoil your day at sea, by Vyv Cox
Yachts and their equipment suffer two principal failure mechanisms – corrosion and fatigue. The sea itself is responsible for the first and the yacht’s motion on it is largely responsible for the second. It is an unfortunate fact that some equipment on yachts is poorly specified to deal with either one or both of these mechanisms. This illustrated talk identifies what to look out for and how to correct problems where they are found.
Peter won the 2015 Hanson Cup for his log of this trip from Scotland to Atlantic Spain in Albatross, a 35-foot Jeanneau. His talk will describe the highs (and occasional lows) of a season’s sailing; memories of the voyage and the great places discovered; and what he and Jean learned about longer hop sailing.
Date: Wednesday 1st of March. Lectures and talks start promptly at 19:00 hrs
Lynne has covered about 13,000 miles in six years of sailing, most recently crossing from Portsmouth to New Zealand with partner, Alan, himself a veteran of three Atlantic crossings and a circumnavigation. In this talk, she will share her experiences of preparing for ocean sailing; of weathering Atlantic storms and visiting Pacific islands; and cooking hot meals in all conditions. She will also reflect on the pros and cons of sailing with a rally or planning your own route.
Choosing a boat to match your cruising aspirations, by Nick Vass
Marine surveyor, Nick Vass, considers how to get the right yacht for the kind of cruising you want to do, taking into account budget, available moorings, size of family, and the experience and strength of crew. He will use examples of clients who have ventured out cruising around the Solent, across the Channel, away to Antigua or around the world.
