From the website:

"Welcome to Tippecanoe Boats, founded by Will Lesh in 1983. For over 30 years we have been producing the highest quality of model sailboats, toy sailboats, and Radio Controlled model sailing boats in the world. Over 70,000 Tippecanoe model sailboats are sailing in more than 65 countries. No other company produces the fine sailing and traditionally elegant boats that are the hallmark of Tippecanoe Boats. We believe that every boat that leaves our shop in Washington State should be a boat we would be proud to own ourselves. Every boat should sail beautifully, fast, and provide hours of fun and excitement." ....

Will called after the interview and corrected himself , to get magnetic from true north in the Atlantic you start with true then add the magnetic variation to get the magnetic course. (in the podcast he accidentally said subtract)
