What to expect...

Discover the fascinating story of Overlord, a beautifully restored 58-foot wooden yacht, built in Germany in 1936, and believed to be one of the last surviving Windfall yachts still sailing.

Bob and Elaine Hazell will explain the remarkable history of the Windfall yachts, which were taken from Germany after the Second World War as part of war reparations, and share their experiences of sailing this elegant classic yacht with the Offshore Cruising Club.

Bob and Elaine are hoping to bring Overlord to Poole in the near future, giving Parkstone Yacht Club members the opportunity to experience sailing this remarkable yacht for themselves.

Whether you're interested in maritime history, classic yachts or simply looking for a new sailing adventure, this promises to be a fascinating and inspiring evening. All ticket proceeds will be donated to the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust.
