Liveaboard Sailing Podcast

12. Advice and adventures from decades on the high seas


Listen Later

Today's guest, Amanda Swan, has decades of sailing experience and she has a wealth of knowledge about all things sailing. It’s not often that I talk about so many different things in one interview but in this one we cover: things to know about rigging, her sailing experience in both polar regions, and in all the amazing places in between. We also talk about what stands out to her from her experience of sailing around the world onboard Maiden in the Whitbread Round the World Race, and share a lot of good resources for anyone interested in the sailing lifestyle. Trust me, this episode is a good one!
