This conversation took place a week or so ago while I was still on the road doing speaking events.  While in Newport RI, Sven hooked me up with Eric and I headed down to the North Sails Loft to get some insight into the world of "big" boat sailing and sails.  Huge thanks to both Eric and Sven for making this happen.   Support the show with Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sailingintooblivionpodcas...
