This week, Team Oaracle continues transforming optimism into forward motion, Team Hell ’n’ Ready prepares to drag a heavy Columbia 10.7 north using the power of cheesecake, and Team Pas Si Vite arrives armed with avalanche training, offshore safety p... more

Two teams with the strength of shared family recipe, and one who bleeds epoxy.

Blast this episode over your neighbor’s fence as you learn about shrinking tall ship know how into 20 feet of boat, how many gummies can cram in a kayak hatch, and how to prepare for R2AK utilizing the doldrumy South Puget Sound.

How different can two soloists be? Listen up. And temper that with a hot bunking extravaganza at four boat-feet per-person.

After a week hiatus the R2AK Pod is back with tales of revenge and some dudes trying to be cooler than their kids.

First place, last place and very much everything in between. Check out the many versions of R2AK, all in one episode.

A rebuilt boat that once tried to unzip itself, a team powered by an automatic “yes,” and a couple trading fair-weather sailing for something far less forgiving.

It’s a dive into the specific gravity of bad decisions, covering everything from 15-foot oars and 3D-printed pedal hubs to the tactical abandonment of dental hygiene in the name of weight savings.
