Winter Motorboat Lecture by Roy Clare, Thursday 14th March
The next Winter Motorboat Lecture is on Thursday 14th March and we are delighted to be welcoming Roy Clare to present his talk 'From PS Comet to USV Maxlimer - engineering and technology on the move at sea'.
Roy Clare sails out of Tollesbury, Essex. He was Chief Mate in the Royal Navy’s Nicholson 55 Adventure in the first Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race.
A past Director of the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, and Auckland War Memorial Museum, New Zealand, he rose from Junior Seaman to Rear Admiral and commanded several ships, including HMS INVINCIBLE, before switching careers. He was made CBE in 2007 ‘for services to museums’; and was appointed Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Essex in 2022.
