Heather Thomas Speaker Supper
We are delighted to welcome 2024 Sailor of the Year nominee, Heather Thomas as guest speaker at the Cruising Group speaker supper on November 14th. Fresh from winning the Ocean Globe Race as Skipper of the legendary yacht Maiden earlier this year, Heather will join us in the National Yacht Club to share her story.
While many of us were using google to find the best route to work, whilst complaining of a little rain and some traffic jams, Heather was leading her crew in a race around the world, without any modern technology. Relying on a sextant, charts and celestial navigation as her guide, Heather not only successfully completed the race, she became the first skipper to lead an all female crew to win the race and the youngest skipper to win an around the world yacht race. To do this aboard the iconic yacht Maiden, brought back to life by Tracy Edwards MBE, made the win ever more special.
The path Heather followed as a sailor is remarkable and inspirational. It encapsulates the human spirit of adventure and our ability to break those unbreakable barriers.
Join us on Thursday 14th of November at 7.30pm to hear Heatherâs story.
There is a high level of interest in this event so please book this to avoid disappointment.
