Talk - 'Creating the Shell Channel Pilot‘

Guest Speaker: Tom Cunliffe

Legendary sailor, author and professional speaker

2025 was Tom's final year in compiling the Shell Pilot Guide, after 30 years at the helm! Here he is going to give us the inside story of tales of desperate goings on, both in the world of publishers and of course the dangers and beauty of the shoals and hidden places of the Channel. Anecdotes and laughter, what more can we ask for as we passage together along the Channel?

Tom will be accompanied by his wife Ros, and a wide selection from his many book titles will be available for purchase on the night. Tom has just completed his first novel, a thriller called "Hurricane Force", and will gladly be signing books on the night.

We anticipate a high turn-out for this event which will also be open to local sailing clubs, friends and prospective members. Online Registration is therefore necessary. Registration to Members will be opened in December 2025, and to "Visitors" on January 1st 2026.

A maximum of 120 places in total will be available.

Registration is free for all GCCC members, and £10 for each "Visitor". Booking/Registration is via the website.
