The Ancient Mariners Sailing Podcast

Brad and Andrew catch up by phone, with Brad in the Azores, after sailing there single handed. Andrew just competed in the new COGS Wolf Rock race so lots to talk about, and of course we find out how Bertie is! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week Andrew welcomes Adrian Grigg, shipwright and Chair of Penryn Stakeholders Group and Tom Blakemore, the Penryn Harbour Master to the studio to talk about the ancient harbour of Penryn and initiatives to improve this part of the river and represent the water users based there, from the marine businesses to the live-aboard residents and the mooring holders. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Here is the second of Andrew's interviews in Kinsale with competitors in the Yachting Monthly Celtic Triangle Race. While a storm breaks over the harbour bound fleet, Chris takes us on a tour of his formidable boat Rockit. The SunFast 3300 is the go to boat for serious offshore short handed racing and Chris who retired following a health scare has thrown himself into making this boat the best it can be, it's truly a stunning machine and I hope this boat tour brings it to life. Chris is a fantastic chap to chat to about sailing so I hope you enjoy this episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week Brad is still away cruising, meanwhile Andrew is port bound in Kinsale participating in the Celtic Triangle with fellow competitors including George Isted of the successful sailing YouTube channel Refit and Sail. Andrew nabbed George for a chat aboard his SJ320 to talk about solo sailing, YouTube and his day job as The Solent Boat Butler where he refits and repairs all manner of boats but with specialist knowledge and experience of the Contessa 32. We hope you enjoy the episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
