    Ep. 25 - Melting Ice - part 2 with Ella Hibbert

    Solo sailor, Ella Hibbert, spent this Summer preparing herself and her boat for her upcoming non-stop single-handed circumnavigation of the Arctic Circle; a world-first. But in Ella's own words, 'this is not a record attempt, it’s a wake-up call’. Not only is Ella incredibly seaworthy, experienced and capable of such an adventure, it's the first time in history that Arctic Sea ice has receded enough to make these circumnavigations possible... Tune in to hear how Ella's shakedown sailing went and what she learnt about herself, her boat and observations on our changing climate, from the Solent to Svalbard.

    Ep. 24 - Representing European Marine with Philip Easthill, European Boating Industry

    Based in Brussels, European Boating Industry represents the European leisure marine industry in Europe. Over 6 million boats are kept in European waters, and we’ve over 10,000 marinas - the industry is HUGE. As Secretary General, Philip Easthill is responsible for running the show So what do they stand for and what are their current priorities? Let’s find out!

  3. Ep. 23 - A Sailor and a Scientist on Recycling Old Sails

    Ep. 23 - A Sailor and a Scientist on Recycling Old Sails

    Sails. There are millions of them in circulation on our planet, and just as many heading into landfill each year. Currently, there aren’t any formal recycling schemes to be found anywhere in the world, but many small organisations are working with sail material to make new things. Whilst these efforts are noble, it’s clear this isn’t the long-term sustainable opportunity - environmentally or economically, and legislation is now rapidly changing. In this episode, Dr. Joe Penhaul Smith and Sam Penhaul; one scientist and one sailor, discuss the chemistry of sail material and their efforts towards recycling sails, in the most direct meaning of the term ‘recycle’.

    Ep. 22 - Small Galley, Big (Clean) Nourishment with Sarah Powell

    So far, the 'clean' in Clean Sailors has meant challenging ourselves and the sailing marine industry to become more environmentally aware and sound. For this podcast, we are looking at ‘clean’ from another perspective... Food at sea is very much fuel and certainly morale - hot, filling, long-burn energy loaded and as quick as possible to cook. When racing, well, let’s talk freeze-dried bags and a kettle of hot water! But how can we become more nutritious at sea, and how can we satisfy all the above, without relying on bowls of pasta, tinned beans and in the extreme cases the Pot Noodle…? Tune in to hear sailor, nutritionist and coach, Sarah Powell, on clean cooking and eating on a boat.

    Ep. 21 - Testing Technology with The Turner Twins

    Now, The Turner Twins may need little introduction. With various adventures and accolades; land, sea and sky, they’ve tried, tested, endured and pushed both themselves and resources to the maximum. Two years ago they set out to sail to the most remote part of the Atlantic – on a second hand boat, with an electric engine, testing hydrogen cells, new antifouling technology AND whilst supporting macroplastic research as they went, on an emission-free yacht. So how did all this new technology fare underway? Let’s hear more from these professional adventurers, Ross and Hugo.

    Ep. 20 - From Sails to Refugee Shelters with Angela Abshier

    As we know, sails are strong and durable, built to withstand some of Earth’s toughest environments; UV light, saltwater and wind. Made from complex synthetic materials, sails aren’t formally recycled anywhere in the world with over 97% of them heading to landfill or incineration. But what if we used these huge sheets of hardy textiles for good? What if we used spent sails to help shelter refugees, the homeless and those displaced by politics and natural disasters? In this episode we are joined by Angela Abshier, founder of Sail to Shelter, achieving just that. A worthy listen, I'm sure you will agree. And, if you've an old sail remember to head to our ReSail by Clean Sailors platform to find your closest drop-off. Old sails can be made into new things 👍

    Ep. 19 - On a Bullet-Proof Composite That is *Actually* Recyclable, with Jeroen Wats, ExoTechnologies

    End of life boats... With an estimated 30,000 tons of composite waste from old boats being discarded in European landfills annually, alone, we know this continues to be an issue or an opportunity for the marine industry and beyond. In this episode host Holly is joined by Jeroen Wats, former champion sailor and now composite revolutionist to discuss the environmental impact of composite materials and how, through his company, ExoTechnologies, he's looking at the state of art solutions to address the problem, namely a bullet-proof, lightweight, super strong and fully recyclable composite.

    Ep. 18 - On Abandoned Boats and Fibreglass with Dr. Corina Ciocan, University of Brighton

    Now, we know since the 1950’s, GRP and FRP hulls – glass and fibre reinforced plastics, became the go-to for boat building. These materials were revolutionary, not just for maintenance, cost and performance, but also increasing the accessibility of boats to a much wider audience. Fast-forward several decades, and these materials; meaning thousands and thousands of boats, are at end-of life, with no formal recycling opportunities anywhere in the world…. So, what currently happens to boats when they die? And what impact are they having on the environment? Listen in to hear Dr. Corina Ciocan - Principal Lecturer in Ecotoxicology/Marine Biology at the University of Brighton speak about her somewhat alarming research on our choice boat-building materials and our marine environments, plus our human health...
