Come and spend an evening with retired psychiatrist Andrew Hill-Smith who, in 2023, became only the third person to attempt an extraordinary feat: circumnavigating Britain’s entire coastline in a Laser dinghy.
The talk will take place at the club on Monday 23 March – tickets available to book online.
This talk tells stories and shares videos from the 2,200 mile journey; from battling fierce Scottish seas to discovering hidden harbours, of the raw beauty of Britain’s shores and the remarkable kindness of strangers who opened their doors to a lone sailor.
Part maritime adventure, part celebration of coastal life, “The Shrink in the Drink” weaves together white-knuckle sailing with chance encounters. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or have never set foot in a boat, this is an uplifting tale of adventure, perseverance, and the enduring spirit of human kindness.
