SUMMARY:Tom Cunliffe\, Hurricane Force
DESCRIPTION:Back by Popular Demand\nTom Cunliffe is a Top International Yachtsman\, Author and Wonderful Speaker and Raconteur\nTom is the consummate nautical story teller whose experience and knowledge he delights in relaying to boaters and others. \nHe is the author of many books including: The Complete Yachtmaster; 200 Skipper’s Tips; The Shell Channel Pilot; and many others. \n \nTom’s talk this year ‘Hurricane Force’. \nHeavy weather is a lurking threat that most of us hope and plan to avoid\, but not even internet forecasting can make it go away. Anyone intent on going on passages or crossing oceans must be ready to deal with it if it comes. Even well-informed inshore and continental-shelf sailors will inevitably be caught out sooner or later. The object of this talk is to give everyone\, a sound brief so that whether they find themselves at the wrong end of a force-six blow along the coast\, or confronting serious waves far out at sea\, they are fully aware of their options for taking it in their stride. \nThe talk will be fully illustrated. \nThis is a talk that no one wants to miss\, so book early to avoid disappointment. \nFood will be available on the night\, so arrive early if you wish to eat beforehand\nand make an evening of it.\nTo Book this talk please click the button below \n \nOnce your Booking Form has been sent you will immediately receive a confirmation/payment email from our booking system with the PYCCS bank account details into which you should pay your fees for this talk.

SUMMARY:Rodney Lord's Harbours and Heroes Talk
DESCRIPTION:Harbours and Heroes is the story of a love affair with sailing which gradually developed into a vivid exploration of the history of Europe through its coastlines. From early on in his sailing career Rodney Lord found himself learning not only from experience but also from giant figures of the past—men like the diarist Samuel Pepys\, or Robert Fitzroy\, the inventor of weather forecasting and saviour of countless lives. \nIn this compelling travel memoir\, we start to appreciate not only the journey but the arrival\, and begin to relish the encounters with these local heroes\, with their triumphs and tragedies. \nThe pleasure of travelling\, says the novelist Marcel Proust\, is to make the contrast between departure and arrival as profound as possible so that one can marvel at the link between two distinct personalities of place. There’s nothing more intense than travelling across the sea in a small boat\, entirely dependent on your own skill and experience to ensure you arrive surely and safely\, to savour the difference between where you embarked and where you step ashore. \nThe talk will be fully illustrated. \nThis is a talk that no one wants to miss\, so book early to avoid disappointment. \nFood will be available on the night\, so arrive early if you wish to eat beforehand\nand make an evening of it.\nTo Book this talk please click the button below \n \nOnce your Booking Form has been sent you will immediately receive a confirmation/payment email from our booking system with the PYCCS bank account details into which you should pay your fees for this talk.
