On the Wind Sailing

Don Street RECYCLED // Cruising Pioneer


Listen Later

#172. I've called a lot of people 'legendary' on the podcast, but Don Street truly fits the bill. Now deep into his 80s, he's seen & done it all. He's been instrumental in creating modern cruising as we know it. Street pioneered cruising the Caribbean on his engineless yawl Iolaire, and to this day continues updating charts of the region. He helped design the Caribbean's first charter yacht, the CSY 44 and was ousted from Grenada during the US invasion. And the list goes on. Don told me these stories & many more in person a few years back.
