Chairman: Nick Hawkins

Speaker: Ian Worley and his talk is entitled “Racing through the Southern Ocean”.

After working for many years in the City, Ian decided he wanted some adventure in his life. In 1977 he saw an advert in the Times asking for volunteers to crew Great Britain II in a sailing race around Cape Horn. He was hooked and paid £4,000 towards the cost of entering the sailing boat into the second Whitbread Round the World Race. He will tell the fascinating story of that adventure.
