An Evening with Dee Caffari

Earlier this year yachtswoman and Green Blue ambassador Dee Caffari MBE became the only woman in history to have circumnavigated the globe singlehandedly, non-stop in both directions. And now you can have the chance to hear about Dee’s sailing experiences during an evening with Dee Caffari to be held at The Rose Bowl in Leeds.

Dee has faced the dangers of icebergs, the most fearsome storms the Southern Ocean could muster, gone without sleep for days on end, and relied on no-one but herself for months at a time. What’s more, this feat is all the more amazing given that Caffari didn’t take up sailing until 9 years ago, leaving behind her a career as a teacher, to learn windsurfing and teach water sports in Barbados!

Dee portrays her experiences in a highly motivational way, is renowned for inspiring others to work to their own goals and is widely acclaimed by all those who have heard her speak.

 Fresh from her latest achievement this summer, breaking the 1800 nautical mile round British and Ireland mono-hull record, Dee’s talk includes some extraordinary film footage taken aboard her yacht Aviva and some dramatic photographs from her worldwide endeavours.

Dee will be speaking at the rose Bowl in Leeds on the 24th September at 7.30pm. Tickets cost just £10.00 and can be booked at www.leedsmet.ac.uk/inspiration
