Great funny logical podcast

When are you guys coming back to produce some more podcast?

Underway, making way…

Thanks for stepping into the fray that has become the world of modern sailing/cruising. It’s great to hear from some learned, like-minded mariners that have the miles under the keel to back it up.

Great Perspective on Open Ocean Vessels

I am a lover of full keels and skeg hung rudders for open ocean passages. In a land full of twin rudders and bolt on keels it has gotten difficult to even find a manufacturer that will build to these specs, why? Most probably, cost. Thanks for the perspective and a possible antidote to the current state of costal sailing condos. One size does not fit all bills.

I am purchasing my first 50’ plus yacht in 18 months. I am crewing on Atlantic passages to gain as much experience and perspective as possible. I have sailed most of my life yet I am relatively new to large (30+) keel boats.

Podcasts like this offer a perspective not heard at the boat shows or by the industry’s largest manufacturers. Refreshing, educational and appreciative. Helping make educated decisions before you buy.
