Shipwreck, small boats and high latitudes, by Roger Taylor
In this talk illustrated with superb slides and some extraordinary video sequences, Roger Taylor tells how shipwreck on a square-rigger led him to a lifetime of small-boat singlehanded ocean sailing.
Author of three much praised books, ‘Voyages of a Simple Sailor’, ‘Mingming & the Art of Minimal Ocean Sailing’ and, ‘Mingming & the Tonic of Wildness’, Roger has been sailing for more than 55 years. He has taken 19ft, 20ft and 24ft self-built and engineless yachts from the Roaring Forties to the Arctic Circle. In 2011 he sailed to 80°North, and in 2014 to 79˚North. In January 2010 Roger was awarded the Jester Medal by the Ocean Cruising Club for ‘an outstanding contribution to the art of singlehanded sailing’.
