Sailing World Speed Records - Winter Talk 19.30 25th March
Join us for a fascinating dive into the high-speed world of sailing records. We’ll be tracing the evolution of speed on the water, starting with the legendary tea clippers of the 1850s and cruising through to the high-tech record-breakers of today.
Through historic photography and captivating video, we’ll explore:
The Icons: Massive clippers, nimble catamarans, and sleek trimarans.
The Speedsters: Windsurfers and kite surfers pushing limits on the 500m course at Portland Harbour.
The Eccentrics: A look at the "outside the box" designs—the ones that shattered records and the ones that sank without a trace.
It’s an evening of history, innovation, and a little bit of maritime madness.
