    Rob McCaffrey

    Sailing to the races - Alderney, Canna, Tiree and the Scillies

    When the running race that you want to enter is on an island, what’s the best way to arrive?

    Clearly by sea! Rob relates tales from some adventurous sailing approaches to 10k, half marathon and ultra-marathon running races around the British Isles.

    Mark Ashley Miller - A technical talk on passage planning at Southampton

    In 2019 Mark Ashley-Miller set off in his 34ft yacht on a 5 year, 9,000NM odyssey around the British Isles, visiting 310 harbours and interviewing 256 Harbour Masters.  As part of this campaign he has raised  £40,000 for The Seafarer's Charity which supports sailors with mental health issues. 

    "Cruising with a mission" into hundreds of harbours, up dozens of rivers and around nearly every tidal gate in the British Isles, has given Mark a good understanding of the importance of passage planning. 

    In this talk he will go through every part of his well tested written template. He will discuss which charts, books and apps to use; his golden rules; how to involve and brief crew and how to avoid 'rough weather' sailing. 

    Illustrated with many photos and real life examples, Mark enjoys giving a lively Q and A style talk, and as ever is keen to learn from others. 

    His book "Harbours And Their Masters" is now out, with all proceeds going to the Seafarers' Charity. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Harbours-Their-Masters-Sailing-Harbour/dp/1912621800

     Chris Phillips of the Maritime Volunteer Service

    Chris will be talking about sailing speed records from the very first one, set in the 1850's, through to the present day 

     

    Hear about the diverse range of craft that have set records over the years, from Tea Clippers through to modern-day catamarans, trimarans, yachts, windsurfers and kite surfers, along with some very odd and downright eccentric designs some of which were record breakers and others that didn't come close

    The sailing world doesn't have just one record, there are quite a few to hear about !

    The Greatest distance sailed in 24 hours 

    The fastest time around the world non-stop

    The outright world speed record - one way over  500 metres

    Some great pictures and some great videos thrown in too !
