Ian Worley - Racing Through the Southern Ocean.
Ian will talk about his experiences whilst sailing as a watch leader, later promoted to 1st Mate, on the maxi yacht Great Britain II in the 1977/78 Whitbread Round the World Race. During that race they encountered storms aplenty, raging seas, icebergs and a lightning strike, all whilst Ian was filming for the BBC sports programme “Grandstand”.
