Ocean
Sailing Forum in Southampton - Learn from the offshore experts
Saturday 12
September 10:00-12:00
Harbour Lights Picturehouse, Ocean Village,
Southampton, UK
World Cruising Club's popular Ocean Sailing Forum will take place on 12 September, the first Saturday of the Southampton Boat
Show. This two hour panel discussion is a must for anyone considering making a
long offshore passage; crossing the Bay of Biscay, the Atlantic or further
bluewater cruising.
During the discussion the panel of experienced cruisers and marine
professionals will cover topics like preparing your boat, selecting equipment,
sails and sail handling, life onboard, crew management, route and weather. In
addition to industry experts, this year's panellists will include Mike and Liz
Downing who recently completed a circumnavigation in their Hallberg Rassy 42E, Aurora B. Taking six years
to sail 36,000 nautical miles, Mike and Liz have a wealth of experience to
contribute.
Also available for advice will be representatives from World Cruising Club's
supporters, including Admiral Marine Insurance, Professional Yacht Deliveries,
MailaSail and Ocean Safety. The objective is to share their knowledge and
experience in a friendly and informative way. Our moderator will keep the
discussion moving and audience members are encouraged to participate and to ask
questions.
