This week we chat to some young up and coming Australian sailing talent. Mina and Jack Ferguson and India Gilbert. We always enjoy seeing the World from the youth view. And this ep was no different. The three sailors are very close, so there was a lot of fun and laughs with this episode. We really enjoyed it and we are sure you will as well. Enjoy!

Finally, we chat to the owner of a top ocean racing campaign. Our guest the week is Jon Desmond the owner of the PAC 52 Final Final which is the blue boat that has been campaigning in the Caribbean and Europe, including the Admirals Cup and most recently the Aegean 600. Jon grew up as part of a multi-generational sailing family, has been sailing all his life and with his family is passionate for the sport. We spoke to him as he had just come off the water from sailing his M32. It was a privilege to chat with him. Enjoy.

This is a brilliant episode, one you will want to share with every teacher and parent you know. If you are neither of those, you will enjoy it the way I did, just imagining how much fun school could have been. We were joined by Malcolm Page CEO Australian Sailing and Jess Lundh, former Australian Sailing Team member who is also an Environmental Scientist and certified teacher. We talk SailLAB, a free STEM education program that uses sailing to teach science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in Australian schools. It is very interesting and relatable episode even if you are designing Americas Cup boats for your job. Enjoy!

We may have been missing for a few weeks, but we are making up for it with this episode. With the Ocean Race Atlantic 30 days from the start, we get back in touch with Cole Brauer from Team Malizia to finish up our discussion with her. And it is an absolute riot. Cole loves to tell stories and she has some good ones. Even your non-sailing friends will love this ep. Enjoy.

For a week where I thought there was no chance of pulling an ep' together we have pulled out a beauty. A game changer for many sailors even. We discuss safety and how to approach it with John Schafer from the Ministry of Sailing. John has just released a book called "Safety is Second - Sailing Leadership, Teamwork & Risk Assessments Come First". We also cross live to the Pac Cup and go onboard Shake and Bake as it races across the Pacific. There is plenty to interest you here. Enjoy!

This week we are all about the Race to Alaska (R2AK). We chat to race winners, Northbound Nutters. We have always thought the R2AK was a pretty crazy race and we followed it with interest. After this chat however, we realise how crazy it is. And for those competitors still going who are listening to this, mad respect, stay safe. This was one of my favourite discussions. Enjoy it!
