This week we weigh into the ORC XR41 controversy. After winning the ORC Worlds the ORC's technical committee have imposed a 10sec per mile handicap on the design. Well that is what we have been hearing, but what actually is the case? We reached out to two designers, (Britt Ward VP -Farr yacht design and Nicolas Goldenberg Director and Designer Morfrac) currently working on a brand new ORC boat to find out what is going on and what it all means.

This week we focus in on the 18' Skiff season. We talk to the skipper of the shiniest new boat, (Shaw and Partners) Keagan York. Keagan is a longtime stalwart of the Sydney sailing scene. A classic yacht club kid, whose passion for sailing hasn't waned. Keagan is also a fixture in the Moth class and part of the Riley fittings family. We chat about the skiff scene, the Moth scene and that other stretch of water in Sydney, Botany Bay. Lots of fun was had. Enjoy.

The week we talk Formula Kite Foiling. We sit down with Olympian Breiana Whitehead and ask all the dumb questions. It is a full bore sport which we haven't done, and so we were like kids in the candy store trying to learn. It was a lot of fun. Enjoy!

This week we talk about how to grow sailing. We talk to Malcolm Page, former club sailor, former Olympian, Gold medallist and World Champion and now CEO of Australian Sailing. Mal has just spent weeks meeting with clubs around Australia. We asked the key messages he received, and what ideas and goals Australian Sailing formulated. There were several key discussion points. If you love sailing, wherever you are based in the world and want to see it grow, this episode will resonate with you. Enjoy.

Also, we want to share the link to support the Australian Youth team heading to the Youth Worlds.  https://asf.org.au/campaigns/australian-sailing-limited/2025-australian-youth-sailing-world-championships-team

This week we discuss the iconic Australian sailing class The Sharpie. The Sharpie is a fantastic class that is very popular. The combination of a three person crew, close racing, fun regattas and affordability make it very appealing. And with their Nationals in Port Lincoln and each of us having sailed them, we couldn't resist. It was a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Then we chat to Sarah Desmond from Final Final, to get the other side of boat ownership. And then we chat to Suellen Hurling from Live Sail Die to follow up on the PIC Coastal Classic in NZ. Enjoy!

We found Bice, so we chatted with him about all the stuff that he has been doing the last few weeks (Maxi Worlds, St Tropez) and what next week has to offer, (Middle Sea Race). We also discuss my plans to attend Annapolis Sailboat Show, (which were destroyed by ridiculous flight delays). It was a lot of fun. Enjoy.
