\nSupporting the live Club Nights are a series of pre-recorded webinars that the sailors can watch at their leisure, and some well-chosen inspirational videos from real-life cruisers enjoying their adventures and sharing further experiences and viewpoints on how they achieved their bluewater dream.
\nThe 2022 Bluewater Cockpit Conversations programme also includes a chance to look around some select offshore sailing boats, both from the hand-picked bluewater cruisers featured from the Berthon brokerage, and the boats sailed by the previous ARC sailors.
\nYachting World boat tester Toby Hodges will be sharing his experiences with an update on some of the new boats currently available which represent typical family offshore cruisers, and selecting some of his top-boats from the magazine\u2019s online boat tours.
