This week we have three World Champions from the Hobie Class. Cam Owen, Susie Ghent and Paddy Butler, each of them putting time and energy in to growing the sport. Its a chat about excellence, but excellence in ideas to grow sailing. We also talk in depth about a bunch of catamaran events including Western Australia's Cat Summer. Its fun as usual. Enjoy!

We couldn't put an episode together last week, so this week we bring you a rip snorter. We chat to Rohan Veal, the man who brought foiling to the masses, the game changer, the man who invented the Veal Heel, the first King of foiling. The two time Moth World Champion gives us all the detail on how foiling came about. Its an awesome story, it changed our sport, it's part of our history, it should be taught in schools! You will love this Ep. Enjoy.

This week we reach back out to Dan Turner as he sits at anchor in the Marquesas Islands. Dan is competing in the Mini Globe Race, sailing a 5.80m self built boat around the World and he has really started to find his legs. Part race, part adventure, all awesome, there is plenty to catch up with. Enjoy!!

This week, we chat to one of the best, the Master of Match Racing, Ian Williams. 8 times World Champion in one of the most intense forms of sailing. He is also an Americas Cup coach, SailGP coach and World Champion in a bunch of other classes. Detailed and analytical. Our conversation was fantastic. The chat felt like it was 5 minutes long. You will love it.

We think this weeks episode may become one of our most listened to of all time. It was a riot. So much fun. Our guest was Tracy Schmitt, one of the competitors in the Hansa World Championships. Tracy is a Canadian, Quadruple amputee. She won a bronze medal in alpine downhill para-skiing at the Ontario Parasport Games and was inducted into the Canadian Disability Hall of Fame. Tracy has a long sailing history. She received the Robert W. Jackson Award, Ontario Premier Award, and C-SASIL Lifetime Achievement Award. But most importantly, she showed up wanting to have a good time and we did.

We had one two hour window over two weeks to put an episode together. We spoke to Luigi Maffioli from Gottifredi Maffioli. Luigi is a long time friend. His companies ropes were used in the Cup, in the Ocean Race, throughout the Olympics, Superyachts and at Foiling Week. They make some very cool stuff and understanding ropes is critical to being a good sailor. As always it was a fun discussion. Enjoy!
