Topic Talks

RQYS Sponsor Gold Coast City Marina (GCCM) brings you a special presentation of The Australian Boating Manual by it’s late author’s wife Ms Jing Gandy. In this fascinating topic talk, you’ll come away with plenty more knowledge of boats from the bible of boating manuals!

Jing will share the story of her late husband, Captain Dick Gandy who penned the biblical boating manual, and also her personal journey to continue his legacy. Andrew from GCCM will help Jing answer any technical questions on the night, so bring out your tough questions – The Australian Boating Manual has the answers!

Read more from a recent interview published in Daily Cargo News, as well as a story from Jing with a teaser on her journey so far:
