Cruisers' Laying up supper - Thursday 6 November
Published 01:00 on 23 Sep 2025
This is always an extremely popular evening which sells out very quickly. We are delighted to have secured Tom Cunliffe to speak about his life and love of boats, ships and adventure. All details and tickets are available here.
Tom Cunliffe, fresh from the launch of his sailing thriller Hurricane Force. In an entertaining look at the development of navigational electronics, his yarns take us from the 1970s when he found Barbados after 42 days at sea with his grandpa's pocket watch and a sextant, but no chart, to the latest chart plotters. These, he confesses, can sometimes lead him astray.
