Today, Tempesta whines about the fact that he can't get crew - waa! Dude nobody wants to sail with an old man on an old boat.

Reality bites! And so does he!

Tempesta is back! Yay? Whatever, he rambles on about the America's Cup, and yes, even manages to talk about his dopey Hobie 33. 

Jeez, give it a rest! Now you give it a listen!

I had the chance to sail in the uber-competitive SDYC J/22  Beercan Series last night and man, was that fun, and humbling! 

20 teams sailed in two flights - silver and gold - we were in silver of course, but had a couple nice finishes and a couple I'd rather not talk about, but I will. Listen!

 Today Scot Tempesta talks to Alex Camet live from onboard the Swan 60 Good Call as they make their way down the coast of Southern California on the Newport to Ensenada Race. Super cool to have a chat from the water.

And of course Bigmouth Strikes Again, with his nonsensical rant about The America's Cup. Enough already! 

So for all the nonsense your editor here has spewed about his beater Hobie 33, it finally came time to deliver.

And if you know Tempesta, you know that he rarely delivers, and his first race on said Hobie 33 was this past Saturday. We'll let him try to talk his way out of fth in class and 19th overall.

This oughta be good!

Today, Tempesta goes on and on about his GD Hobie 33.   He tells us that y'all love this sort of thing? 

It looks pretty good until you realize Danny Devito couldn't stand up inside. What the hell is he thinking? Oh that's right, that's not his strong suit.

He also briefly dives into the well-worn US SailGP team with lukewarm and predictable results. But wait, there's more...

In today's episode, Tempesta brings you all up to speed on the progress on his "Beater" Hobie 33. First, he goes way too long explaining the obscure and odd name he chose for the boat.

Then he goes on about the yard experience, and all the deets about what it takes to get this thing going. Here at SA, we say hurry the hell up and get on the race course, so that we can hear all about the races he didn't win. (He is likely busting out the excuse machine in anticipation...)

As always, enjoy!

Ice King Matty Struble joined us to take a bit of a deep dive into his ridiculously brilliant sailing career!

From Moths to Iceboats, Matt does a great job sharing how he does it.

Enjoy!

Surely one of the more fascinating designers with a great origin story that led him to design in six America's Cups! And that is only part of the story. I 14s, Moths, custom boats, etc.

Hope ya dig it!

Yeah, yeah, yeah - we know you've heard it before, but he did get something new (old). You may be surprised, and you might say "What a wanker", but listen up to hear the story. And yes, we know - there is always a story!
