Title: Serge Testa at the South Bay YC 12/11
Post by: George16 on Dec 08, 2025, 09:00 PM
Ahoy Skippers,

Serge Testa will speak at the South bay Yacht Club about his book "500 Days: Around the World on a 12 Foot Yacht" on Thursday 12/11 at 7:00 PM. Please invite friends with a boating interest and come hear about this amazing adventure!

Alone aboard "Acrohc", the tiny yacht he designed and built, Serge Testa sailed around the world and into the Guinness Book of Records. Exotic landfalls, cyclones, encounter with whales, and a nearly fatal fire at sea makes this a gripping story. Told with understatement and humor, this account of a unique voyage of discovery and endurance appeals to the adventurer in all of us.

Also, the event is free to join by Zoom.  This invitation comes via SBYC Commodore Lisa Bickford, who also sails a P-15 named Harry and is a proud Potter Yachter.

Address:
South Bay Yacht Club
1491 Hope St
Alviso, CA 95002
