  • Most Informative Sailing Podcast

    Been bluewater sailing for 50+ years and listening to podcasts for years. By far one of our fav is Paul Trammell. Always humble and always informative. Never preaching and never saying his way is the only way, despite him now having sailed more blue water miles in last few years than the highly opinionated “expert sailing podcasters”. Paul has a way of bringing out the best information in the myriad of folks he interviews. The only intelligent podcast we look forward to weekly.
