Join us for a morning of bluewater sailing chat and knowledge sharing. The session starts with coffee and pastries and an opportunity to talk with fellow sailors, our panellists and the World Cruising Club team.
The presentation covers the essentials for offshore sailing, including the boat and equipment, weather and routes south from the UK. The ARC Portugal route will be covered in detail, with additional input on cruising the Algarve from Ingrid Fortunato of Marina de Lagos. The experienced sailors on the skipper panel will provide personal insight and experience, and there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
The event takes place outside of the Southampton Boat Show, so no ticket is required.
