Speakers for thriving inland \'offshore\' group

We are a small and enthusiastic bunch who meet 2nd Mondays 19.30 - 22.00hrs October to April.
Next winter we have got Sam Llewellyn, Vyv Cox, Dick Durham, Tom Cunliffe and stephen Prince all booked.
We have two of our meets to arrange speakers for still, January and April 2010 and we are looking perhaps for something different.
Could you fill a spot with an entertaining interesting talk with visuals with something related to sailing, boats, etc.. or could you recommend a speaker who would give us an outstanding talk?
If so I would be grateful to hear from you either as a post or by PM
many thanks
Scotty

Nick Ward Author of Left for Dead. He has got to be the best speaker I have heard for a long time. He speaks for about an hour without notes on the 1979 Fastnet Race. When he spoke at the RDYC in Weymouth you could have heard a pin drop. A sombre experience.

many thanks for that ... totally agree, we had that experience too this winter, in fact I even went to hear his talk a second time at another club.
