Talk: "Sailing to the Orkneys 'mostly' single-handed!" by Brian Masters

In 2014, Brian sailed 'mostly' single-handed from Haslar to the Orkneys and back.  He will relate his experience of the 3 1/2 month voyage, especially about what it was like to be single-handed for most of the trip. He will describe the planning and the adventures he had on the way. Those that have done similar trips are welcome to come along and share their experiences with the meeting.

This year we are trying a new venue and this meeting will be held in The Conference Room in Haslar Marina's Office. Just go into the Marina Office and ask one of the staff and they will show you to The Conference Room.

Those who wish can buy a drink and/or a meal at The Creek restaurant over the road either before the talk at 18:00 (or earlier) or after at 20:30. Please make your own booking with The Creek either by phoning 023 9400 2461 or using their website https://thecreekhaslar.co.uk and if you are eating before the talk explain that you will be attending the Haslar Yacht Club talk which starts at 19:00. If you intend to have a meal after the talk they would like you to place your order by 20:30 please.

You are welcome to buy yourselves a drink in The Creek restaurant before the talk and take it over to the The Conference Room.
