Winter Lecture by Phil Lawrence
On Wednesday 13th December we're delighted to be welcoming Phil Lawrence, to talk about
The Ocean Race 2023.
Phil Lawrence has been the Race Director of ‘The Ocean Race’ (formerly known as The Volvo Ocean Race) since 2016.
Phil will share his experiences from running the 2023 Edition of the Race, the first featuring high speed foiling 60 foot monohulls. This Edition also included the longest Leg in the history of the Race, 13,000 miles non-stop around Antarctica.
The latest Race was packed with incidents including two dismastings, one hull delamination, and two serious injuries. Phil will explain how his Crisis Team dealt with these and many other challenges during the Race.
The lecture will start at 18:30 prompt, so we recommend you arrive in good time to get a drink from the bar to take to your seat in the Island Room. If you are booked for supper, it will be served in the River Room after the lecture, please sit where you wish.
