Paddington goes from sail to power

Paddington goes from sail to power, by James Littlewood

In 2014, James and Carol exchanged their sailing yacht Paddington IV for a spacious motor cruiser, inevitably christened Paddington V. James will take us through the rewards and challenges they encountered in making the change from sail to power. These went far beyond acquiring new boat handling skills and included their whole attitude to equipment and cruising in general.

The talk will be illustrated by James’ wonderful photographs and an account of their sometimes hair-raising ventures into the inland waterways of Europe.

Date: Wednesday 28th October. Lectures and talks start promptly at 7pm.

Place: CA House
