A podcast about sailing, racing and the people who make it happen. We're focused on the characters that have made and continue to make sailing fun and inspiring. Though we come from BC and the Pacific Northwest our stories tend to span the world. We try to produce an episode a month. We sit down and talk with some of the greatest, or at least most entertaining, sailors, coaches and officials around.
