This week is all about race preparation. We talk about the things you need to be doing before heading offshore. To help us, we spoke to two pro sailors who have raced around the World and have businesses helping sailors prepare for their events. Hannah Diamond and Stacey Jackson. If you want to go offshore and you want to do it right, this is the episode for you.

The Moth Worlds are a couple of weeks away. At last years Worlds, we saw a youth attack led by Mattias Coutts. He walked away with the title at 19. Mattias has been training hard, preparing to defend his title, so we reached out for a chat to see how he was going. It was a great chat that descended into hilarity on many occasions. Enjoy.

We have rabbited on about this event for the years, the Stockholm Archipelago Raid. This year is a special edition, its the 25th running and they are doing the extreme course including a crossing to Finland. We reached out to Oscar Wetterling, a multiple participant and the last person to sink a boat during the race, (we think) to find out really what it is all about. Let us know if you would be keen to do it? Enjoy.

Plenty going on in the World of Finns. Finn World Masters 25 start next week. The Finn Worlds and Masters Worlds are coming up in Brisbane in February 2026. We wanted to know more. In Australia, in the Finn fleet, there is also a bloke who is the ultimate person when it comes to building a class. I have mentioned this about him on the show before, so when we decided we wanted to talk Finns, we reached out to the man himself Phil Chadwick. If you love Finns or you just want to know about building a class, this is the episode for you.

We couldn't put an episode together last week, so this week we bring you a rip snorter. We chat to Rohan Veal, the man who brought foiling to the masses, the game changer, the man who invented the Veal Heel, the first King of foiling. The two time Moth World Champion gives us all the detail on how foiling came about. Its an awesome story, it changed our sport, it's part of our history, it should be taught in schools! You will love this Ep. Enjoy.
