Winter Talks #3 Wind and Tides at Port Edgar and The Ellen MacArthur Trust

Winds and Tides

Jim Scott

Port Edgar is a complex place for tides with a large estuary and focal points within it. Jim has studied this extensively and also mapped some of our local hazards. A talk of interest to both racing and cruising sailors.

The Work of The Ellen Macarthur Trust

Paul Taylor

The Trust aims to support young people recovering from cancer by creating positive experiences and opportunities largely through week long sailing voyages.  The Trust has two bases, on the Clyde and on the Solent. Each week through a 15 week season, sailed 5 yachts were sailed from each base with 6 young people and 3 adults on each vessel, so each week ten boats, sixty young people, twenty volunteers and ten skippers.

The purpose of the presentation is to raise awareness of the Trust and its activities.
