Sailing Anarchy Podcast

Scot Tempesta gets into a subject - finally - that he knows something about - Booze. He actually has some sobering thoughts (haha) and you may wish to give this a listen.

Oh boy, only Scot could screw up an invite to come sail, listen to her do her show, and have dinner With Dr. Laura Schlessinger. You really do have to listen to this one. What a jackass!

Tempesta starts off pleasant enough, talking about his damaged brain, but then goes into full rant mode. Listener beware!

Your illustrious Editor talks about the Sydney to Hobart race, shares his podcast stats for 2023 (not that impressive),  talks about getting his ass kicked in J/22s, and finally how he fell and hit his head. He sounds as dopey as ever to us!

Here Scot shows how little he knows about, well, anything, as he ignorantly delves into the world of shorthanded sailing. Oh trust us, he knows all about short - height, bus, length. You get the picture. Enjoy.

Tempesta bails on his J/105 and wants us to think that's cool. Right. He then gives his notion of what the "best days" are of owning a boat. Of course he has to make it sexual. Uncle Creepy strikes again.

Old-timer Tempesta  saddles you with his tiresome war stories, one from nearly 40 years ago, and one unfolding now. jesus, can this guy ever do or say anything normal?

Tempesta announces that he races on a Beneteau! Wow, that's apparently what passes for news from this guy. Sheesh.

Tempesta drags us through yet another one of his stories about Jimmy Buffett and also manages to complain about boatyards as well. 

It seems that people are finding out that sailing with Tempesta ain't exactly a day at the beach, and now he's bellyaching about needing crew. Waaa!

Cheapskate Tempesta finally gets the coaching he has needed for basically his entire sailing life. Somebody tell him it's far, far too late.

Jesus, we had a bit of a yell-fest last night in the Beercan series, and it was not fun. And guess what, I wasn't the one yelling, except for the fact that I yelled at the people who were yelling to STFU! As NWA put it in Gangsta Gangsta, "What the fuck are they yelling?" So I spend too much time on the subject but then segue into the fascination of watching races on Yellow Brick.

The king of excuses checks in with the biggest drunken load of shit you've heard in a while. Oh and to make it better, did we mention that he's drunk? We might have to let him go.

Whoa Whoa Whoa, Stop the Clock! Tempesta brings some facts in this Podcast. No, they aren't alternative facts either! He has some entry trends in a couple big "fun" regattas. Don't worry, he still whines, as always.

Tempesta once again bores you with more J/105 nonsense, crowing about winning a couple of races, but then inexplicably veers into asking if racing is still fun for you. He then ridiculously tries to define what is fun, as if he knows. Embarrassing, really.

In this episode, cheapskate Tempesta bellyaches about how much money he is spending on his J/105. Waaa!

This podcast stems from a bit of a horror story from the recent Etchells 22 Worlds in Miami Beach. 

The title pretty much says it all. Click to listen!

Okay, so after much looking, I finally found a good one and bought it!  I can tell you stuff about it now, but just listen to the goddamn thing, would ya?

Tempesta presents another fact-free rant, this time on Rule 69, the "Misconduct" rule. As a profane and hot-headed sailor, any ideas on what he thinks of the rule? He also spends some time talking about.. I don't know, whatever the hell he talks about.

In this week'ss Podcast, I reminisce about how I met Doug Peterson, 40-something years ago. Yes, I've already established that I'm old, but as a total outsider, it was a moment I'll never forget. Enjoy! - ed.

In this episode, Tempesta goes off on the current fiasco taking place at the hallowed house of US Sailing. With Olympic know-it-all Paul Cayard dismissed, ooops, we mean "resigned", along with at least four other staff members quitting, the situation is far from good. The failed Olympic program is the issue,  what should be done about it, and are there better places to spend that money t...

In this episode, we'll be discussing the America's Cup, a prestigious sailing competition that has a long and storied history. However, Scot will explain why he’s come to hate the America's Cup despite its great moments and legendary sailors like Dennis Connor.  Join us as we explore the good, the bad, and the ugly of this iconic sailing event. Scot begins by acknowledging that ther...

“I think as you get older, you definitely notice that the things that you used to do, you may not be doing as well. And that's okay! I mean, what's the great saying? ‘I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was.’” Welcome to the second episode of the Sailing Anarchy podcast, where we delve into the fascinating world of sailing with our host, Scot Tempesta,...
