This is a massive episode, but it is so good. We celebrate Australia Day by talking to one of the US's greats - Bill Hardesty. Former World Champion in the J/70, Etchells, Melges 20, Melges 24, Farr 40, and match racing. He was also the 2011 U.S. “Yachtsman of the Year”. We talk about his journey, and the Etchells Worlds that just happened. We also rip into the Ineos/Ainslie Cup news, our new Vaikobi UV sun shirts, Vendee, Give you the inside gossip on SailGP in NZ, the RORC Transatlantic, plus so many more events.
