An Audience with Ellen

Ellen Talks About…

Ellen

As Scarlet Oyster makes her way around the country, our Patron Dame Ellen MacArthur will be giving public talks at many of the key stopover ports whilst Scarlet is in dock.  This will be the first time Ellen has spoken publicly about her life since her world record-breaking circumnavigation of the world ended in 2005. 

Ellen will be recounting stories about her amazing and varied experiences at sea, as well as talking about her work with the Ellen MacArthur Trust and her plans for the future.  All the money raised from these talks will benefit the Ellen MacArthur Trust.
