At the Club

This illustration of The Mary Rose (by Geoff Hunt who was President of the Royal Society of Marine artists) shows the ship as she would have been in 1545 before she sank in battle with the French.

The Club Night on the 18th will include an Interactive Presentation looking at the ongoing study of keel attachment failure in yachts with Paul Mara from the RYA. The discussion will open with a very brief overview of the research, its aim and objective. What is currently known. You will be guided through a summary of the findings of a real investigation into a yacht’s keel attachment failure. Current techniques in identifying the warning signs. Finally, you will be provided with the opportunity to ask questions and contribute from your own experience.

Since September 2011 the City Livery Club has been very happily based at the Little Ship Club. Six years on from the first reception held here, the President of the City Livery Club and the Commodore of the Little Ship Club invite you to a joint luncheon to be held at the Club on Tuesday 19 September.

Helen left a career in the city in 2013, to set sail and circumnavigate the globe, in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. The 44,469-mile journey was an 11-month marathon. Fewer people have raced a yacht around the world than have climbed Mount Everest. In an environment both physically and mentally challenging, the crew dynamics on-board were a fascinating insight into the human psyche. Find out more about what it really takes to sail around the world.
