Experts share their cruising knowledge

07 January 2015

Feedback from our boat show based Ocean Cruising Forum proves how useful the two-hour session is for those thinking about their future cruising plans. “Inspirational, informative & enlightening,” said one attendee, “It’s great that it coincides with the boat show and we were able to follow up on suggestions / advice whilst they were still fresh. A very worthwhile 2 hours.”

“Good overview of ocean sailing issues for those who are actively considering this. I'd recommend it for anyone contemplating offshore sailing” said one of the audience at our US forum.

Held alongside leading Boat Shows, the panel discussion format allows for plenty of conversation on a wide range of topics from our assembled experts. Whilst the make-up of the panels vary between events, the objective is the same – to bring together a wide variety of experience in ocean sailing, and to pass on knowledge to the audience. All our panellist have many thousands of offshore sailing miles between them, and experience on a wide selection of sailing boats, as captains, couples and crews.

Joining with the group and sharing from their own specialised knowledge, our panels are supported by a myriad of marine experts from amongst World Cruising Club’s corporate partners, offering advice on a range of topics from provisioning to power management and insurance to internet providers.
