The Spinnaker Podcast is your guide to the world of sailing, hosted by Captain David Kosky, Lead Instructor at Spinnaker Sailing, and Captain Drew Harper, owner of Spinnaker…
Broadcasting from the legendary waters of San Francisco Bay, we explore everything from learning to sail and earning ASA certifications to chartering exotic destinations, offshore passagemaking, cruising tropical paradises, racing, and boat ownership. Along the way, we sit down with experienced sailors, racers, cruisers, liveaboards, instructors, and marine professionals who share their adventures, lessons learned, and the wisdom they wish they had known sooner.
Whether you're a complete beginner, a lifelong sailor, or simply dreaming of life under sail, we'll cover seamanship, weather, navigation, safety, racing tactics, cruising lifestyles, and the many paths the sailing life can take you.
Our mission is simple: to make sailing more accessible, less intimidating, and more enjoyable for everyone. We share our observations, experiences, and honest opinions to help guide your journey and inspire more people to get out on the water.
Hoist the sails and join us for stories, knowledge, and adventure on The Spinnaker Podcast. ⛵️
