Stories of the Sea with Lee Goddard | Brought to You by Sullivans Cove
Description
Join us for an intimate evening with Rear Admiral Lee Goddard, Past Race Committee Chair, CYCA.
Lee will share stories from offshore passage racing, the logic of navigation, and what the sea reveals about decision-making and risk. This is a conversation for anyone who's spent time on the water - whether you race, cruise, or simply think about it.
Sullivans Cove - Australia's most highly awarded whisky distillery - will be on pour. Founded on Hobart's historic waterfront in 1994, Sullivans Cove embodies the same principle Lee understands from the sea: patience, observation, and never rushing. Each whisky is shaped by the maritime climate of Tasmania and the unrushed approach that defines both the race and the craft.
An evening of stories from the sea.

The Pairing
Rear Admiral Lee Goddard
Rear Admiral (retired), 34 years Royal Australian Navy. Past Race Committee Chair of the CYCA. A career defined by maritime leadership, decision-making under uncertainty, and understanding what the sea teaches about navigation, risk, and judgment.
Sullivans Cove
Founded 1994 at Hobart's historic waterfront. World's best at the World Whiskies Awards four times (2014, 2018, 2019, 2026), an achievment unmatched by any other distilery in the world. Built on the principle of never rushing: 'never rushed, never replicated.' Patience, observation, and the maritime climate of Tasmania shape every expression. The Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race finishes in Hobart - where Sullivans Cove was born.
The Connection
Both rooted in maritime Australia and Tasmanian waters. Both understand what comes from observation, patience, and not rushing. Both know what the sea reveals about decision-making, risk, and human judgment. An evening about what offshore passage - and craft - teach you.
