SUMMARY:Wednesday Winter Talks
DESCRIPTION:Cape Town to Nantucket: Things we wish we knew before we left\, and a few lessons learnt on our four-year cruise \nOn Wednesday\, 24 June at 18h00 in the Main Hall\, Andrew Henshilwood will share the remarkable story of his family’s four‑year adventure at sea. \nTogether with Siobhan and their daughter\, Laura\, the Henshilwoods set sail aboard Calypso\, a Montevideo 43 they painstakingly refitted themselves. From crossing the Atlantic via St Helena to exploring the Caribbean and the US East Coast\, their journey was filled with challenges\, triumphs\, and unforgettable lessons. \nAlong the way\, the family discovered that the true mark of a successful cruiser lies not only in seamanship but in teamwork\, adaptability\, and the willingness to learn. \nThis talk blends practical advice with candid storytelling\, perfect for anyone curious about long‑distance cruising\, boat preparation\, or simply inspired by the courage to cast off and chase new horizons. \n  \nAll members and guests are welcome.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Winter Talks
DESCRIPTION:Cold Feat: A Lap Around Antarctica \nOn Wednesday\, 8 July at 18h00 in the Main Hall\, the Royal Cape Yacht Club welcomes Dealtry Pickford for an extraordinary account of his double‑handed Southern Ocean adventure. \nFrom battling Cape Horn in a gale – often called “The Everest of Sailing” – to rounding the three great Capes\, Dealtry’s voyage reveals the raw power and unforgiving beauty of the Southern Ocean. Few dare to dream of such a journey\, and fewer still make it happen. \nThis candid story of months at sea is nothing short of epic\, marking a milestone on Dealtry’s path toward the Global Solo Challenge 2027\, where he is an official entrant. \nIf you love true ocean adventure\, these are tales worth hearing. Don’t miss it. \n  \nAll members and guests are welcome.

SUMMARY:Mandela Day Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Join us this Mandela Day for a meaningful day of impact\, community\, and purpose at RCYC. \nIn partnership with Dive Action and the UCT Department of Biological Sciences\, we will be undertaking a marina clean-up with an ambitious goal: removing 670kg of waste from our marina. While divers spend 67 minutes beneath the water\, members and volunteers are encouraged to dedicate their own 67 minutes above the water\, focusing particularly on the Cat Corner / Globe Wall area. \n  \nThe diving team will be active between 09:00 and 12:00\, and all members are invited to assist by collecting surface litter. Please bring your buckets and pool nets and join the effort. Waste will be sorted\, logged\, and weighed at a central collection point with support from Averda. \nIn the true spirit of Mandela Day\, we are also raising funds for Haven Night Shelter\, where R75 provides five nights of accommodation for someone in need. \nOur goal is to fund: \n\n67 stays\, or even better\,\n670 nights of shelter\n\nEvery contribution\, no matter the size\, will make a tangible difference. \n  \nThe day concludes with the Mandela Challenge Cruise in Table Bay.  Be sure to collect your Mandela Challenge Card from the registration desk and set off on a fun-filled cruising adventure taking in the sights of the three lighthouses\, along with a variety of entertaining challenges that RCYC cruisers have come to know and enjoy. \nEntry Fee: R75 per crew member\nAll proceeds go towards supporting Haven Night Shelter. \n  \nProgramme \n09:00 – 12:00 | Marina Clean-Up \n\nAbove and below the water\nFocus area: Cat Corner / Globe Wall\nBring your pool nets and buckets\nWaste collection\, sorting and weighing at the central collection point\n\n13:00 – 15:00 | Mandela Challenge Cruise \n\nRegister and collect your challenge card\nVisit the three lighthouses\nComplete a series of fun RCYC-themed challenges\nEntry fee: R75 per crew member\n\nJoin us as we give our time\, energy\, and resources to make a lasting difference in our community this Mandela Day.  #ItIsInYourHands \nClick the link to sign up for the Cruisers Challenge:  https://forms.gle/fiG5pL1vLxXmyHqX8
