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.
