Racing through the southern Ocean with Ian Worley
WEDNESDAY 25TH JUNE 2025
STARTS AT 7PM, DINNER AT 8PM
Ian Grew up in the coastal village of West Wittering, West Sussex. A keen sailor from the age of 10, Ian shares his love of the sea in this 45 minute illustrated talk, he recounts the thrilling adventure of a journey covering 26,000 nautical miles of perilous seas and living off mouldy bread!
In October 1976, Ian saw an advert in the Times:
“Wanted – crew to help race Great Britain II in the 1977/78 Whitbread Round the World Race”.
He responded immediately, knowing that this was the adventure that he craved. Already a seasoned ocean sailor and yacht race skipper, he was accepted and appointed as one of the three Watch Leaders on board.
Ian will be sharing his incredible journey of racing at breakneck speeds, often amongst icebergs and often in the dark as well as many critical moments on board, storm damage and being struck by lightning.
