Join Lin Pardey for an entertaining evening!
Thursday 14th August - 6pm - Townsville Yacht Club
Join celebrated sailor and author Lin Pardey for an evening of extraordinary sea stories from her 60 year, 200,000 mile voyage through life!
Lin Pardey literally wrote the book - many books - on cruising, inspiring generations of sailors to embrace the ethos of go small, go simple, go now.
Over several decades, she and her late husband, Larry, built two boats - the 24-foot Seraffyn and the 29-foot Taleisin - and sailed both engine-free cutters around the world, including voyaging against the wind around the Great Capes.
Lin chronicled their travels in nearly a dozen books that have become cruising bibles, including The Cost Conscious Cruiser, The Self Sufficient Sailor, and Storm Tactics Handbook.
After Larry’s passing in 2020, Lin has continued to sail and document her experiences with her current partner David Haigh, as well as mentor younger cruisers and sailing writers and influencers. Her latest book, Passages, will be published in October.
We hope to see you there!!
