  • Boat Radio – Boataffair and Taras Oceanographic Foundation

    Adrian Walker is the founder of Boataffair, which matches boat owners with charter clients. He’s using modern technology to make boat ownership more affordable and boat rental more accessible. Adrian is the first guest in this week’s show. He spoke to Boat Radio while on holiday in the south of France.

    When it comes to ocean conservation, education does not work and the money should be spent instead on ad campaigns aimed at changing attitudes. That’s just one of the controversial views aired by Dr Stefan Harzen (pictured) of the Taras Oceanographic Foundation when he sat down with Sarah O’Kelly for a fascinating interview. Stefan has dedicated his life to the study of dolphins and runs the Palm Beach Dolphin Project, right on Sarah’s doorstep in south Florida.

  • Boat Radio – The Boat Galley – 47. Organising and Reorganising

    Don’t feel foolish if you can’t find the perfect spot to store Band Aids or baked beans or that little screwdriver for fixing your spectacles. No one gets their boat organised perfectly on the first try and, even if they did, their needs will change over time so a reorganisation is inevitable, as Carolyn Shearlock explains in this latest edition of The Boat Galley.
