Yachtsman to share tales of big race

Sailor Mark Towill, who served on the crew of Team Alvimedica in this year’s Volvo Ocean Race, will share stories and photos about the challenges faced in the around-the-world yacht race during a presentation July 28 at the Kaneohe Yacht Club.

Many sailors consider the Volvo Ocean Race to be the sailing equivalent of climbing Mount Everest.

Tickets are $45 for adults (includes a drink ticket) and $20 for children 12 and under (includes a kids buffet).

The event begins with pupu at 6:30 p.m. at the yacht club, 45-503 Kaneohe Bay Drive.
