Tapio Lehtinen and his crew were sailing in the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers from the Canary Islands to St. Lucia when we talked. The interview was conducted in the cockpit of Galiana, a 1972 Swan 55 yawl, while underway. I spoke with each of the crew, most of whom were paying customers. Tapio is taking paying crew on ocean training passages and various offshore races this year, as well as the 2027 Ocean Globe Race. Ifyou are interested in sailing with Tapio on Galiana, email me at [email protected] and I will put you in touch with Tapio, as well as his schedule and prices.

Photos of Galiana and crew are on the podcast shownotes page
