Who invented “Mayday”? In 1923, Frederick Stanley Mockford, a senior radio officer at Croydon Airport in London, was asked to come up with a spoken distress signal that would be easy to understand over radio. At the time, much of Croydon’s air traffic traveled between London and Paris. Mockford drew inspiration from the French expression meaning “help me,” which led to the word “Mayday.” It worked because it was short, distinctive, and difficult to confuse over a weak or noisy radio transmission. More than a century later, “Mayday” is still the internationally recognized voice distress call used in aviation and at sea. #sailing #history #boating #sailor

Before Robert Perry's Valiant 40, you were either on a fast racing boat or a slow full-keel cruiser. His decision to combine a fin keel with a skeg-protected rudder was controversial, but it defined a generation of offshore cruising. 📗 Get My Book: https://bethecaptain.com
