It’s been a while since I last recorded an episode. A friend put it perfectly the other night — I’ve been “down below, sheltering.” There’s been a lot to deal with, but I’ve come through it.

In this episode you join me on deck as we enter the Needles Channel, en route to Southampton, to pick up the crew for the Fastnet Expedition 2025.
This comes at the end of a 3500Nm solo transatlantic voyage, on the 80 foot maxi, Osprey.

This episode tells the full story of the sail that’s been with me through it all — my old Open 60 mainsail, which, although it has impossibly high mileage (100,000nm!), has proven indefatigable, indestructable and faithful right through to the end.

If you sail, this is the 5 star podcast. Every episode is embedded with events and misadventures sailors can relate to … well done.
This was my first impression of the show. Will try again. Having someone host without notes as ‘I forget’ every 5 seconds is super irritating. Someone could have also edited it afterward. Manner of speaking felt condescending too.
A complete sailers guide - told with entusiasm and passion! Love it⛵️❤️
Great advice from a knowledgeable sailor. I’ve listened to every episode and they’re all worth a listen.
I feel lucky to have Chris working and podcasting in this space. He is a natural educator and his commitment to safety at sea is unparalleled. His other podcast Rare Nautical Reads is also incredible. I learn a ton from him and hope to be able to support him on Patreon soon and someday sail with him. thank you!
