The peace of the long distance sailor
18/1/2026 | 49 mins.
This week Brad and Andrew speak to Lydia Paleschi about her Allantic crossings, her trip through the Panama Canal and the ups and downs of boat ownership. Lydia is a travel writer, the author of a book about wild swimming and a YouTuber whose content has been viewed more than 20 million times. She shares stories about bad weather, dodgy skippers and how she finds peace on a long voyage. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Facing the storm, and changes to COGS racing
13/1/2026 | 32 mins.
This week Brad and Andrew interview the chair of the Cornwall Offshore Group Series Tim Rowley. A technical problem means we lost part 1 of the interview, but luckily we had a second session with Tim and here is that interview, where we talk about changes to COGS racing for 2026, and the impact of Storm Goretti which had just passed over Cornwall as we went on air. So with apologies to Tim for the lost audio, I hope you enjoy this slighly shorter pod this week. We will have Tim back another time to try again! Hosted on Acast.

Longships Lighthouse live during storm Goretti
09/1/2026 | 11 mins.
We interrupt normal programming this week with a live interview with the team stationed on one of the UK's most western lighthouses, off the coast of Lands End in Cornwall. Tom Sewell is part of a maintenance team on the lighhouse for the next week. And during the peak of Storm Goretti, Tom shared the experience of what it is like to be 35m up a tower, surrounded by crashing waves and 100mph winds! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Making the water accessible for everyone
29/12/2025 | 41 mins.
This week Brad and Andrew are joined by founder of disability sailing and powerboating charity, Mylor Sailability, Tracey Boyne. Tracey is a life long sailor of dinghies and keel boats. Her passion for outdoor pursuits and teaching led to her becoming the owner of Mylor Sailing School, which led to her founding this excellent charity. Tracey shares her inspiring story on a rain soaked night in Falmouth just before Christmas. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Sail making and shouts
14/12/2025 | 46 mins.
Brad and Andrew are joined this week by local Falmouth sailmaker Nick Head from SKB. Nick is also a deputy cox on Falmouth lifeboat as well as a busy family man. He was apprenticed into the trade from school and has seen new technology transform the ancient craft. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
