  • My new favorite podcast!

    I listen to a lot of podcasts, especially those involving sailing. This one is by far my favorite! Paul’s guests are so diverse and he does a great job of asking insightful questions, as someone who is actually living the lifestyle himself. I always find something that connects with me in every podcast and seeing a new one drop is the highlight of my work week commutes. I’m a supporter on Patreon because, frankly, I pay a lot more money for other media sources that I don’t enjoy nearly as much!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kevin Wasbauer, Shearwater Sailing
Q: What's a key sail-trim technique racers use that cruisers often overlook?
Using a baby stay with a hydraulic ram to control mast bend and manage sail shape upwind, which helps flatten the mainsail and improves performance.
Kevin Wasbauer, Shearwater Sailing
Q: Tell us about your boat, Atalanta, and its layout.
The boat is a Farr 53 with a split cockpit and aft helm, designed for training and cruising with multiple berths below, a large dodger, and modern electronics; adaptable for both chartered trips and solo sailing.
Kevin Wasbauer, Shearwater Sailing
Q: Tell us where you live and describe the sailing there.
He describes living in Pebble Beach, California, near Monterey Bay, highlighting the open bay, steady wind, and abundant wildlife as a favorable training and sailing environment.
Alison Gieschen, Circumnavigating on a Taswell 43
Q: How did your relationship with John Kretschmer influence your journey?
John Kretschmer served as a mentor and inspiration; his seminars and books motivated us to push beyond fear and pursue storm-and-high-seas training, which in turn helped validate our path and provided practical, moral support during rough passages.
Alison Gieschen, Circumnavigating on a Taswell 43
Q: Alison, where are you right now and what got you into sailing with this particular boat?
We're anchored in Nuku Hiva and the Taswell 43 felt perfect from the moment we stepped aboard; the boat was a natural fit for our circumnavigation goals and Alison's early life experiences with sailing and horses influenced her dream.
