Club Lectures

My most popular club lecture is a fully illustrated Powerpoint presentation about the development and safe use of navigational electronics. It masquerades under the title of,  From Grandfather's pocket watch to the Digital Chart Plotter .

The talk is a friendly and irreverent look at the changes many of us have seen from the days when I found Barbados after 42 days at sea with no chart at all – just a lat/long to shoot for, a sextant and my grandfather's pocket watch –  to my current PC-driven chart plotter that still manages to lead me astray.

I generally sell signed copies of my DVD The Electronic Yachtmaster  afterwards at a special knock-down price, which enables me to keep the fee for the talk to £250 + VAT. Depending on where you are, there may be some modest travel expenses.
