Essex

David Rivett tells us of his voyaging around the Kattegat. He and his wife Brenda sail Primetime, their 1994 Contest 40/42S built in Holland, displacing 12 tonnes+ and drawing 2M. CA members for 30 years they are now semi-retired and free to stretch their cruising legs. In 2018 their online log of their circuit from Augustenborg to Gothenburg and back via the Bohuslan won the CA Dolphin Cup.

Ian Jewry & Simon Daws will entertain and inspire us with how EAST provides sailing opportunities for people with disabilities and explain some of the fascinating technological aids they use.

Frances & Ed Maggs won last years' Hanson trophy for their log of their very slow circumnavigation of the British Isles in their gaff ketch Betty Alan. The last three summers have seen them in the SW and W of Ireland, and they will be showing pictures and bragging about their good fortune.
