The
Minimum Boat - Sam Llewellyn
Sam Llewellyn, yachtsman and well-known author
of many sailing thrillers advocates "The Minimum Boat" as
a sensible back-to-basics style of sailing well adapted to the times.
This is the theme of his many articles in PBO (Practical Boat Owner).
He
is currently working on the Dazed Kipper Manual, a work of instruction
that he describes as 'the blind leading the blind.'
This
should be an unmissable, entertaining and fun evening. We look forward
to seeing you all there
